Beautiful views , brilliant tour guide . - Carolina was an amazing tour guide sharing her knowledge of the history of the islands , she was attentive making sure we all knew where we were going and that we stayed together ! I'd highly recommend this tour even in the cold as she came prepared with shoe spikes ,coffee and biscuits . The views were beautiful and the facts along the way aswell as the people in our group made it worth it to not just buy the boat tickets and do it ourselves. Finding the meet up area was easy enough and the tour company was able to call those who were either running late or a little lost to make sure they made it onto the boat . Her love for nature was evident as she brought a bag to collect rubbish along the way which was amazing to see.

Great tour! Need to give it a try - The whole experience was very nice. The tour is about 3 hours and is exactly how long it should be. No more no less . Our guide Neve was super friendly and helpful. Shared interesting information about the places we visited as well as for the every day life in Norway . At one of our stops we had hot drinks and biscuits with a nice view it was great! We asked recommendations about the city where to eat etc and had all the information we needed Thank you very much!

Briefly explore 2 Norway Islands (winter) - Familiarization with 2 of Norways islands - Hovedoya and Lindy’s (I went during winter). The guide - British man with a beard and glasses - was awesome! He made sure everyone arrived to the boat and you could tell he loved his job. I’ll cherish my experience forever!
