Poor communication, very poor tour guide, most hotel rooms were sub par. More times than not we had to handle our own luggage. Horrible flight times. No guidance whatsoever. 2 days of long bus rides. No wine at dinner, drink nazi at one hotel. Questioned us very severely in hotel bar that we did not pay for our drinks. Which we had. They were very ugly and made for a long uncomfortable evening. City guides were great. They were the only people we learned anything from .Deborah Campbell

Great trip but last hotel in Bergen had missing trim in plain view and wasn’t equal to the other hotels especially Hotel Bristo in Oslo. First night/ last night and few other meals meals were average. For such historic places I would thought the meals would be tastier. It would also be nice if the servers engaged you and explained what they are serving first night/last night but again a great trip.

Norway is a beautiful country. Tour guide Koppany Tuba is informative, entertaining & professional . My only complaint was at the Baltic hotel in Oslo. Our room was above a reception hall . The wedding band turned up the sound at 1115 pm - 115 am. Our room jumped. No sleep then. I called the front desk & no answer.. I spoke to the desk at breakfast , with no concern of theirs.

Our tour guide Kopi was excellent! The views were phenomenal! This was our 8th trip with Collette and we ranked this one our favorite so far! Pretrip had some bumps and I think flights could’ve been better but the trip was everything we’d hoped for. The weather was unusually warm for the area causing our hotel rooms to be extremely warm since there’s no air but I’m not sure how that could be helped.Celese Bullock

Only one hotel (Alexandra in Loen)was good. Bergen hotel was dated and dirty. Tour manager excelled at managing the days, but didn't bother to have us introduce ourselves on the opening night. Questions from people on the bus were often ignored. Need to listen better. There is a lot to see in Oslo. Starting on a Sunday when many restaurants and stores were closed wasn't great. Documents should encourage people to come a day early. More time in Oslo, less time in Bergen would make a better route.

We had the best tour guide, Wendela Wiik, she was so informative and enjoyable. So fun to listen to. The add on trip to Iceland seemed not very well planned, hotel screwed up and walking that far (for some people) for the first night’s dinner was not too thought out however the dinner was delicious. I felt the tour guide wasn’t too well informed from Collette, about our add on but gave us some informative tours. Needless to say we had a great time

Very comfortable accommodations, clean air and water, beautiful sites, excellent bus driver (Steph) and tour guide (Mattias), informative and fun trivia games, special sculpture garden (Oslo), great bus tour, wonderful fjords and mountain vistas and tunnels, welcoming people, etc.

Tour included areas I wanted to visit. Found it more difficult to get to know fellow travelers than is the case for Road Scholar programs, in part because there was a very large group traveling together who tended to be exclusionary. Would prefer not to have such a large group scheduled into a tour with others

Norway was a wonderful experience. The tour was short but we really covered a sufficient amount of the country. One more night in Oslo in order to visit the Viking museum (which is closed on Mondays) and explore Oslo more would have been better. Only 7-8 nights to fly all that way seemed too brief. Daniel, our guide, was a master at keeping our trip group together. And we were a bit more to handle with our casualties! Daniel could have been a tad more chatty about Norway and its history and culture. There were many times on the bus when the silence could have been filled with tid bits. Otherwise, my first Collette was impressive!Susan Houston
