What people love about Norway Tours
This tour was so much fun. I can’t say enough about the beauty of Norway. Each of the five hikes provided a unique aspect to the rugged, unique terrain. Nes Gard, the accommodations, friendly staff and absolutely wonderful food each evening, far exceeded my expectations. My only regret was that I had not gotten in just a bit better shape physically. I would call this tour “Hiking the Fjords.” That being said, it is just moderately strenuous and every step up the mountain is worth what awaits!
Walking the Fjords
I enjoyed the days in Norway. It is a fast paced itinerary but you never get bored at one place. Despite the pace I had quite some hours at each place where we stopped and hiked around. The trip definition matched my expectations. My travel fellows are quite diverse in terms of culture background and age. I think intrepid did a good job to make a satisfying tour for such a diverse group.
Northern Norway Explorer
- Magical Fjord Adventure
Great tour, nice human tour guide and good hotel accommodation. Seen some fantastic places, like Balestrand and Fjaerland. Can recommend.
Most popular destinations in Norway
The Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand serves as a natural gathering point for fjord travelers, where you can share the day's experiences over a rich Nordic buffet while the waters outside turn golden in the evening light. Riding the Flåmsbana railway feels like threading through the mountains themselves - the train winds past cascading waterfalls and through steep mountain corridors that show off Norway's raw geography. Our guests often mention how smoothly the boats, trains and buses connect, letting them focus on the scenery instead of schedules. While June through August bring the most reliable conditions with long daylight hours perfect for hiking and kayaking, visiting in spring or fall means smaller crowds and vibrant seasonal landscapes.
See all Norwegian Fjords toursArctic expeditions come in two distinct varieties that our travelers keep telling us about. If you're drawn to Greenland's dramatic scenery, you'll paddle past massive icebergs in crystal waters and walk across ancient glaciers with professional equipment - the sound of ice crunching beneath your feet is something quite special. The other option takes you down the Dempster Highway where the Arctic wilderness really shows itself through regular wildlife sightings and endless tundra stretching to the horizon. You should know these aren't luxury tours - expect basic camping conditions, pack essential gear like headlamps for moving around after dark and plan for simple but genuine Arctic meals. Our past guests particularly love photographing wildlife in their natural habitat, especially polar bears, and many can't stop talking about experiencing the midnight sun during summer trips.
See all Arctic / North Pole toursDog sledding with Atlantic Husky in Tromso consistently ranks as the top experience in Northern Norway - our travelers keep telling us it's the part they remember most. You'll get hands-on with the huskies and learn to drive your own sled through fresh snow-covered terrain. The Northern Lights are another big draw here, though it's worth noting that finding them often means longer drives to spots with clear skies since weather really affects visibility. The mix of active daytime activities and evening aurora searches gives you a genuine Arctic experience that's pretty unique. Our visitors tell us the best viewing usually happens between September and March, with January and February offering the darkest skies and also the highest chances to spot the lights.
See all Northern Norway toursExplore Western Norway's breathtaking fjords, walk its scenic hiking trails, and stroll through the charming streets of Bergen. Don't miss the iconic Pulpit Rock, sail through the majestic Geirangerfjord, and be amazed by the stunning Vøringsfossen waterfall.

Best tour companies for Norway tours
Based on the feedback we've gathered, Globus comes out ahead for Norway tours - their "Scenic Norway" consistently gets good reviews for well-organized schedules and guides who really know their stuff. Intrepid Travel has a mixed track record up north; while they usually run solid trips, their "Northern Norway Explorer" fell short on local connections and needed better planning according to our travelers. If you're looking at booking through TourRadar with Vision of Scandinavia, you should know what you're getting into. Their itineraries look good on paper, but travelers mentioned gaps in the detailed info you'd want before heading out. Some folks ran into problems with hotel bookings and guide communication which is frustrating when you're far from home in Norway. The nice thing about Globus is they've figured out the logistics - their guides handle the complicated bits while you focus on enjoying Norway. That said, Vision of Scandinavia through TourRadar might work if you're comfortable with a bit more uncertainty and don't mind doing some extra research on your own. The bottom line? For a more reliable experience in Norway, Globus is probably your best bet among these options. If budget is tight though, just be sure to ask plenty of questions upfront about the details if you go with VOS through TourRadar.

Best places to start your Norway tour
Most people kick off their Norwegian journey in Oslo - we've got 32 tours starting from there. If you're looking at options, Copenhagen comes in second with 21 departures, Bergen offers 15 tours and Tromsø runs 13, while Stockholm rounds it out with 4 choices. Our booking patterns show you'll want to lock things in about 3.7 months ahead (that's 111 days) to get the dates and places you're after. Lots of our travelers really love mixing train and boat travel; the Bergen Railway takes you through gorgeous mountain country and connects nicely with the Flåm Railway for a proper fjord experience. When we ask about unexpected highlights, people often mention their time at traditional mountain farms and also those amazing king crab experiences up north.
Norway tours for every type of group
Who are you traveling with?
Group
119 tours in NorwayThe most popular Norway group tours run seven to nine days, starting from Oslo and heading into fjord country. Our travelers consistently highlight guided walks through Oslo's Frogner Park, medieval Akershus Fortress, and then connect to spectacular journeys on the Flåmsbana railway. These tours strike an excellent balance, mixing guided activities with independent exploration, especially in Bergen where visitors can wander the historic Bryggen wharf district at their own pace. Many top-rated itineraries feature nights at distinctive properties like the Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand, where waterfront views complement excellent Norwegian cuisine. Travelers appreciate special touches that go beyond typical tourist stops - farm-to-table dinners, visits to ancient stave churches, and carefully mapped drives across the Atlantic Road's ocean bridges. What makes these tours stand out is the seamless handling of logistics, as our guides manage all connections between trains, boats and lodging while staying flexible enough to adapt to Norway's weather patterns and each group's particular interests.
Small Group
39 tours in NorwayThese small-group Norway tours consistently earn high marks from travelers, who appreciate how the intimate size creates room for spontaneous exploration. Up in the Arctic Circle, compact groups get to experience Trondheim's riverside charm, and dive into the vibrant arts community at their own pace. Our customers often tell us how much they value those unplanned stops at mountain farms, authentic fishing villages and, most importantly, the chance to truly connect with local life. The itineraries blend urban and outdoor experiences nicely - you might tackle the 2-hour Linken peak hike with its sweeping ocean views one day, then find yourself on a RIB boat through Trollfjord the next. Even the fjord-focused routes keep numbers low, combining Oslo's cultural heritage with scenic railway journeys on the Flåmsbana line. These intimate groups can access special experiences that larger tours miss, like traditional Viking feasts at Ægir Brewery and, interestingly enough, prime king crab fishing spots near the Russian border. The small size means photographers can take their time at key viewpoints along the Atlantic Road's striking bridges, while guides can adjust the pace based on weather and group preferences.
Private / Personalized
82 tours in NorwayFor travelers seeking flexibility and personalized attention, our private Norwegian tours deliver tailored experiences. The 7-day fjord adventures can be customized to your pace, starting with guided walks through Oslo's center before taking the famous Flåm Railway into the mountains. Our customers especially appreciate having their own vehicle and driver to stop at prime photo spots along the Atlantic Road's dramatic bridges. The longer 14-day self-drive options let you explore at your own rhythm - you might spend extra time hiking near Stryn's glaciers or lingering in Bergen's historic Bryggen district. These tours include detailed route planning while leaving room for spontaneous detours, like stopping at traditional stave churches or taking an unplanned fjord cruise when conditions are perfect.
Top Norway travel itineraries to fit your plans
Week-long Norway tours work nicely to combine Oslo, Bergen and the fjords in between. Most people start in Oslo before taking the Flåmsbana railway - it's one of the steepest train rides you'll find anywhere. The route continues through Sognefjord with smooth connections between trains, boats and hotels. Many travelers pick tours stopping in Balestrand, loving its waterfront setting and excellent dinner spreads. Some routes head up to Molde on the Atlantic Road, crossing eight bridges between islands - our guides know exactly when to catch those big ocean swells hitting the coast.
See all tours
Our 10-day tours dig deeper into Norwegian countryside. The main route goes from Oslo to Bergen through Hallingdal Valley and the Hardangerfjord area. You'll get to visit Briksdal Glacier, with options to hike up or take electric trollcars to the ice. People really like having two nights in places like Geiranger - enough time to boat past the Seven Sisters waterfall or try local hiking paths. While Lillehammer features on several tours, our customers often tell us they wish they had more time in this Olympic city.
See all tours
Two-week tours let you properly explore Norway from south to north. The full routes mix coastal and inland travel, starting in Oslo and reaching up to the Arctic Circle. Many include overnight coastal cruises passing the Lofoten Islands, where mountain peaks rise straight from the sea. Self-drive options give you freedom to take your time in places like Geilo's mountain village and UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. You can stop at farms in Gudbrandsdal Valley or spend extra time photographing Vøringfossen falls. These longer trips also connect you with Sami communities in Karasjok and husky farms in Luosto.
See all toursDemographics
Our solo travelers particularly enjoy the flexible Norwegian itineraries that blend guided moments with personal exploration time. The tours running between Oslo and Bergen let you experience the magnificent Sognefjord at your own pace, with well-organized connections between trains, boats and hotels - our customers mention how smoothly these transitions work. Another popular choice takes you deep into the Arctic, where you'll discover Trondheim's waterfront before riding the renowned Atlantic Road's ocean-spanning bridges. Several routes include overnight stays in Balestrand, which our solo guests praise for its perfect mix of organized activities and free time to wander. The tours running north to Tromsø give you chances to spot sea eagles, explore fishing villages and maybe catch the Northern Lights, all while enjoying the security of traveling with a knowledgeable guide and like-minded travelers.
Norway's most popular romantic tours blend waterfront luxury with intimate fjord experiences, letting couples create lasting memories together. The Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand stands out, with its heritage charm and private dinners facing the pristine Sognefjord waters. Days flow naturally between active exploration and quiet moments - you'll ride the dramatic Flåmsbana railway through mountains and past waterfalls, then drift peacefully through narrow fjord passages. Many couples tell us they love staying in traditional fishing villages, where evenings are spent walking harbor paths as the sun sets. Our tour packages balance guided excursions with independent discovery time, and couples especially appreciate dining by the fjords, with optional add-ons like taking the Loen Skylift for mountain vistas together. The most cherished itineraries connect Oslo by scenic rail to Bergen's wooden Bryggen quarter and the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord, while leaving space for those spontaneous, personal discoveries that make travel special.
The Arctic routes we offer are real adventures - you'll be out there snowshoeing through pristine wilderness and pulling king crabs from icy waters near the Russian border. Our younger travelers love getting out on RIB boats to zip through fjords, often spotting seals and whales along the way. After full days outdoors, you can head into Tromsø where the social scene keeps going well into the evening. If you're keen on glaciers, we've got tours that take you hiking right up to them, plus you can ride some seriously steep cable cars and get up close to massive waterfalls. What works really well is how you get both the nature experiences and time to check out Bergen's old quarter or try Oslo's excellent restaurants and bars.
Our senior travelers consistently praise the well-planned Norwegian tours that offer comfortable ways to see the country's natural wonders. The routes between Oslo and Bergen include scenic train journeys on the famous Flåmsbana railway, with plenty of time to photograph the dramatic landscapes. Several itineraries feature stays at the highly-rated Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand, where our guests love the waterfront location and excellent dining. The tours heading north let you explore at a relaxed pace, with opportunities to visit traditional stave churches and take guided walks through historic districts. What our mature travelers particularly appreciate is how these trips minimize luggage handling - hotels are chosen for their proximity to stations and ports, making transfers easy and convenient.

Best time to visit Norway
- Summer 2025
The summer months really open up what's possible in Norway, especially with those extra-long daylight hours. Our travelers often start in Bergen, wandering the historic waterfront and fish market before hopping on the Flåmsbana railway - it's quite something seeing the train wind through mountain tunnels and past cascading waterfalls. The Lofoten Islands are a highlight too; you can take RIB boats right into Trollfjord or climb peaks like Linken for some incredible views. We've made sure there's time built in for staying in traditional fishing villages and trying local catches. What works really well is how flexible the schedule is - you can go hiking, take optional boat trips or just sit back and take in those fjord views.
- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall gives Norway's landscapes this really special quality, and we've designed our autumn routes to make the most of it. Most tours kick off in Trondheim where you'll see both city life and coastal scenes before hitting the Atlantic Road - our customers say watching autumn storms roll in while driving this ocean-spanning route is something else. The UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord features heavily; you can boat past the Seven Sisters waterfall or hike up to Eagle Viewpoint for these sweeping views across the water. We mix cultural stops like the 14th-century Kvernes Stave Church with natural wonders such as the Briksdalsbreen glacier - you can hike there or take electric vehicles right up to the ice. The routes strike this nice balance between being outdoors during the day and spending evenings getting cozy in fjord-side hotels.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in Norway brings out some truly special experiences, particularly for those heading above the Arctic Circle. Our most popular winter routes center around Tromsø, where you can join hybrid-electric boat trips through the fjords to spot seals and, if you're lucky, humpback whales. Several tours include stays at the Havila Cruise ships, positioning you perfectly for Northern Lights viewing between 5pm and 2am. Our travelers particularly value the cultural elements - you might find yourself welcomed into a Sámi lavvo-tent for hot drinks and reindeer encounters or trying your hand at king crab fishing near the Russian border. The winter adventures mix active options like dog sledding and snowmobiling with cozy evenings watching for aurora from prime viewing spots away from city lights.
- December 2025 popular 46 tours
- January 2026 45 tours
- February 2026 46 tours
- Spring 2026
Norway's spring tours blend late winter charm with early spring awakening, making it an excellent time to explore. Our private Oslo departures take you to Venabu's peaceful cross-country trails before heading westward where the fjord boats are back in service for the season. At Ægir Brewery, the Viking plank experience feels more intimate during spring, as the groups tend to be smaller and more relaxed. Many of our travelers combine Oslo's rich cultural scene with journeys on the Oslo-Myrdal-Flam railway, where melting snow creates powerful waterfalls cascading alongside the tracks. Balestrand has become a particular favorite, with its traditional Norwegian dinners featuring the freshest spring ingredients, local specialties and also seasonal delicacies. We hear consistently from customers that shoulder season brings excellent value without compromising the Nordic experience - from wandering Alesund's Art Nouveau streets to riding Bergen's Floibanen Funicular for sweeping views across the landscape as nature reawakens.
