Norwegian Fjords Reviews

This was the 4th and last Cosmos tour we did on our 9 week sojourn of Europe this year and Norway didn't disappoint. The scenery was stunning! The tour was easily paced with coach, ferries and trains all used to transport you around this beautiful country. The hotels used were all of high quality and located close to town. The optional tours are a must read more to complement the overall tour experience, but the included Flam Railway return trip both up and down the valley was outstanding. Norway isn't the cheapest European country, but there are ways and means to try and stick to a budget. eg buy some easy meals and drinks in the supermarkets instead of restaurants. We would definitely consult with Tracey at Global Journeys for more Cosmos tours in the future as this trip went off without any issues and the professionalism, speed of reply and friendliness shown by Tracey was greatly appreciated.

There were 48 on the coach yet it was always on schedule and it was a relaxed pace tour. Hotels varied but only one was a bit underwhelming. Tour leader Beatrix is not Norwegian but had great knowledge. The highlights were unquestionably the 3-4 days at fjords. We took an extra night in Oslo which was worth it.

Beautiful country, pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide and skilful bus driver. Very congenial group of only 23 which made this Cosmos experience most enjoyable.

A great tour with amazing scenery. I would definitely recommend this Cosmos tour. Although we had a full coach of 45, everything went smoothly under the expert guidance of Ausra.

This was my first tour with Cosmos (previously I've travelled with Trafalgar and Insight). I was very impressed with this tour - great itinerary and young, active, informative Tour Director. Included meals were very good. Every day was wonderful seeing the beautiful Norwegian scenery, highlight after highlight. We were lucky with the weather with only read more one rainy day in Bergen - the hotel actually supplies each room with an umbrella they have so many rainy days. Thoroughly recommend this tour as an introduction to Norway.

Norway has beautiful scenery everywhere we visited. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our favourite spot was a small village named Loen.

The tour was really good and up to our expectations. Our tour guide was very helpful and attended to all our needs. Our coach driver also was very good and kept us safe on the road all the time.

I was also happy with Yvonne of Global Journeys who handled our booking in a professional manner and was always quick to respond to our queries. I will read more definitely go back again to them for any future bookings.

The trip was excellent and as for the weather I couldn't have asked any better. The hotel rooms are very small, but being single I managed. In Bergen the room was like a storage room. Breakfasts were excellent and the other companions were from all around the world, but I must say 47 people were too many but the tour director and driver did a very good read more job. The scenery was outstanding and made it all worth going. Madeline from Global Journeys was excellent and was full of good suggestions - I tell everyone about her.

The Cosmos 11 day Norwegian Fjord tour was good value, considering how expensive Norway is. The pace was easy with several stops each day to get off the bus. All the hotels except for one, were very good with beautiful breakfasts and 4 included dinners. The tour comprised people from Australia, New Zealand, England and the United States. Our tour guide, read more Ausra, was very organised and gave us useful and helpful information for each town we stayed in. We visited all the major sights and the itinerary was flexible enough to accommodate the weather when necessary. This was our 4th Cosmos tour and we would certainly consider using them again.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Cosmos Norwegian Fjords tour that we took in August 2018. Norway has beautiful landscapes and lovely fjords, but food prices are much more expensive than in Australia. We were happy with the excellent service from the tour director and very capable driver. I think this tour is good value for money, the hotels read more are mostly 3* but Cosmos booked us for one night in a 4* hotel in Geiranger (Hotel Union). The included dinners offered a great selection, either buffet-style or three-course meals. The group was a mix of mostly middle-age and above, with some younger ones, and they came from UK, USA, Australia, and Thailand. Thank you Georgie for organising our holiday, for your attention to detail and friendly reminders, it made our preparation easier before departing for the tour.

It’s perhaps a good idea to advice travellers in advance that many of the hotels in this tour do not supply water boiler (and tea and coffee). Since the tour is called Norwegian Fjord Explorer, I don’t understand why Geiranger Fjord Cruise is not an included excursion.
