Ten Day Scandinavia Itineraries

The four of us really enjoyed the trip Zicasso's tour planner created for us. She was responsive and quick to reply to our questions, including while on the trip. We visited Bergen, Odda, Trolltunga, Aurland, Ålesund, and Oslo. Our highlights were Trolltunga and Aurland. We would have gladly traded an extra day at Aurland and skipped the Flåm railroad, as that was too touristy for our taste, but we can only say that after having been there.

Our Zicasso travel agent and her company were extremely helpful and professional. Our agent worked with me to design a trip to Norway for my husband and my cousin (and his wife and adult daughter) that included the special sights and flexibility for some of the physically limited members of our group to rest. She was very patient as we went through different iterations of what we all wanted. More importantly, whenever I had a question once the trip had commenced, she was very responsive.

The trip was just what you'd want. We saw most of Scandinavia's capital cities, stayed in comfortable well-appointed hotels and dined at one spectacular restaurant after another, as suggested by our travel agency. We flew to some cities, fjord cruised to others, took a stunning overnight cruise from Stockholm to Talin, and delighted in Noway's spectacular Flam Railway. The trip really was all we hoped for.

First, do not send me a water bottle; I have more than enough. Overall, we had a great trip to Norway, with a good balance between time in the cities of Stavanger, Bergen, and Oslo, and rural retreats. We stayed in fine old hotels in magnificent settings on the Geiranger and Lustra fjords. We reveled in a quieter pace, with more time to enjoy nature. Our agent selected terrific hotels in each setting and, during the trip, was attentive to our needs and responsive when some minor problems arose.
