Tour totally depends upon good weather. When we took it, it was cloudy, so the views were limited and... due to snow in the mountains we did not go to Trollstigen. Then it is no more than a full day bus back and forth. It's a shame and too much money for what you get... Luckily, the next day we took a tour in Geiranger to Dalsnibba and that somehow compensated for what we missed here.

Sehr gelungener Ausflug ins Hinterland mit vielen, tollen Eindrücken (Trollstigen lohnt sich unbedingt!) und alles wie auf der Webseite beschrieben. Kleine Gruppe, 10 Leute im kleinen, komfortablen Bus, war sehr angenehm, vorallem in Coronazeiten (!). Absoluter top Guide (Nacho) und top Busfahrer (leider Namen vergessen, Rumäne?), beide sehr sympathisch. Wir haben viele, interessante Informationen über Land & Leute von Nacho in perfektem Englisch bekommen, und der Busfahrer hat sogar auf Nachfrage einen Extraschlenker auf den Berg gemacht, da es zeitlich noch gepasst hatte - das war super, so dass wir noch schnell die perfekte Aussicht auf Alesund bekamen, vielen Dank dafür! Ausflug ist vollends zu empfehlen, lieber auch über GYG statt über die Reederei buchen, die nur große Massen transportieren!!

Small grouip with only four total travelers. Christian was a great tour guide and stopped at a number of scenic locations and explained a number of things. He brought sandwiches, drinks and cookies for us to have a picnic lunch. When we were walking on the tundra, he pointed out wild blueberries that he picked and gave them to us to eat.

Soweit war alles in Ordnung. Das einzige was ich zu bemängeln habe das ich eine deutschsprachige Tour gebucht habe und eine englischsprachige bekommen habe.

Los paisajes estupendos, la ruta muy bien, el medio de transporte muy cómodo. Todas las paradas muy acertadas. Todo positivo, salvo el guía, sin entusiasmo para explicar las cosas, lo que ensombrece un poco el resto.
