Great Tour! - Lulu was a great guide. She shared a lot of useful information and communicated the important matters quite effectively. The whole schedule was also quite smart and optimal for a day tour.

One beautiful day in Olden - Excellent trip, Lara was very informative and had a lovely personality which made the trip so interesting. She was also very helpful during the hike up to the glacier, offering to take photographs and helping people who found it more challenging. The weather was glorious too which enhanced the experience. I would definitely recommend this trip to anybody visiting Olden.

Wonderful Experience at Briksdal Glacier! - We had a fantastic time on this tour from Olden to the Briksdal Glacier. The tour guide was very friendly, easy to locate at the meeting point, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. We appreciated that we were given plenty of time to enjoy the glacier at our own pace and take in the stunning scenery. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the drive through the beautiful Norwegian countryside was an experience in itself. Our guide shared interesting facts about the area and its history, which really added to the day. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Olden — it’s well organized, stress-free, and a great way to see one of Norway’s natural wonders up close.

Glacier hike - A little difficult locating your guide and bus. Small sign without specific meeting location. Due to the port design it may be impossible to be very specific.

Go to a glacier - This trip takes you through beautiful countryside with a knowledgeable and helpful guide You have to be able to walk some distance to the glacier which has sadly shrunk significantly over time Wonderful flowers and views on the way

Tour Guide & Bus not visible on Pier - The tour guide and bus were not very visible. We were told to look for a yellow jacket on the pier, but there were many guides wearing yellow jackets. Our tour guide didn’t walk the pier. As a result many people were late boarding the bus. We had a gorgeous day! The glacier and scenery was stunning!

Bad service - Awful guide, she ran out in front and we lost sight of her. He didn't even say how many members he had. We climbed the mountain alone and came back alone. When we arrived at the meeting point we asked the driver if there was time to go to the bathroom, he replied yes. When we left, 5 minutes later, the bus was IDO EMBORA. We were dumped in a place with no other transportation. Luckily the cafeteria lady was super helpful and arranged for us a ride on another bus to the harbour. The operator, when he realized we were not, tried to call me but there was no signal in the mountains. They insisted on me that they were waiting for us and that they were looking for hours. That's not what happened. Not recommend, too expensive for me my cousin to be left in an empty place.
