Hurtigruten and Nordic Saga are the only way to see Norway!
Susie Main arranged a journey that included a train ride plus from Oslo to Bergen, a Hurtigruten ferry trip from Bergen to Kirkenes and subsequent travel to Germany. Good airline connections and convenient hotel stays made a somewhat complicated journey easy. Thank you for a great Norway experience!

Norway trip with Nordic Saga
Norway was one of the most beautiful places in the world!! I absolutely LOVED the country, however the tour I took was not as ideal as the country itself. We spent way too much time in these gigantic busses, it would have been nicer if they used smaller vans.
Despite the rather expensive cost of the tour, they charged us for bottled water!!! Overall, the food they served us was terrible, and I would have liked to spend way less time eating at these terrible, cheap buffets and more time out in nature. Our guide was informative, but not overly friendly, & sometimes even rude. Also, the owner of the company was on the tour with us, & she also, was not very warm, & was often given the keys to her room before the guests! This was after very long exhausting bus rides. Overall, Norway was amazing! I highly recommend it. The tour itself, & the guides, and the travel agent that booked us, all need a little polishing.

One of the best adventures
Skiing across Finland last March was fantastic and beyond expectations. I loved the challenge, the people and the journey. Thank you Nordic Saga for helping make my 50th birthday celebration so memorable.

Trip to Scandinavia (Demark, Norway, Sweden, Finland) Russia (St. Petersburg, Moscow)
Nordic Saga Seattle office-It was one of the worst experiences I have had with a travel company. A couple of times I got my questions answered. The majority of the time the woman was just rude and/or difficult to work with. It may be time for her to retire. I purchased a couple of extra excursions one week before the trip and they were more expensive than if I just bought it there. She told me I was getting a "discount" buying with her. I ended up calling the President of the company, Dora. She was very helpful and professional. If you are going to work with Nordic Saga, only work with her, or do not use them.
Nordic Saga booked me with the Borealis company for travel in Scandinavia. It was the most amazing experience. The tour guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable and made the whole trip so enjoyable. It was a great company to book a trip to Scandinavia with.
If you are going to Russia do not let anyone book you with Baltic Vision.
It is the most unprofessional and low-end company. The tour guides are on the phone or smoking most of the time. They are not helpful.They hand you half of a city map and you are on your own. You might as well plan the trip yourself. The company has "extra" excursions if you want to purchase.The excursions were so overpriced, it was ridiculous.
You are also booked in with people from other countries that speak another language. You have to listen to everything getting repeated in two other languages.
Find another travel company for Russia or do it on your own.

Great trip, not so great airline
The trip itself was comprehensive & well planned. Our guide Anna was excellent - a great source of information and very solicitous of all of us, especially my husband who had mobility problems.
It was a different tour than others we have taken in that all the travelers do not begin & end @ the same destination. Indeed, although they are booked through various tour companies: Nordic Saga, AAA, etc., these companies apparently subcontract with Robinson who conducts the tour. Also, the size of the group changed depending on how many had joined us for what length of the tour. That did not affect the quality of the tour, but it did impact the fellow travelers you met & for how long.
My only serious complaint is the quality of service in economy on SAS Airlines - suffice it to say we will not fly with them again.
Thanks,

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nordic Saga to anyone. Alex from EWT was extremely helpful looking after everything for us. We had no trouble whatsoever with any of the accommodations and one amazing trip!

Wonderful
I will certainly recommend the Hurtigruten cruise to all of my friends.
The help I got from Susie Main was exceptional.

Best Norwegian trip I ever took
The ship was comfortable, staff most obliging and the company was stimulating. I found the shore excursions fascinating and would repeat the trip in a couple of years.
