Up Norway Reviews 84

Up Norway was fantastic! We had an amazing trip and saw many things away from the main tourist areas that we would not have known about. Agneta was wonderful during the planning -- always responsive and took the time to understand what was important to us. The accommodations and food were all top-notch. We could not have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Up Norway!

Torunn from Up Norway planned a dream journey for us on the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary!
Except for the Northern Lights that didn't show up, all our dreams came true and more!
Snowmobile, dogsledding, whale watching and a trip on the fantastic spa-boat Vulkana!
Thanks for planning it all so well for us and making it a trip to always remember! Regards Karen

Just great, this was so much easier than planning everything myself! Competitive prices, nice staff, would recommend.

I travelled to Lofoten 17th - 20th of March, organized and guided by Up Norway, day one was well organized with visit to Lofoten Gårdsysteri where we had lunch (nice cheese) and played with goats. We stayed a Villa Lofoten with Aaslaug the host, where had very nice local food, we visited Lofotr for a guided tour and a play with traditional food. Mon we had a guided trip to Hollandmælen with guides from Hattvika Lodge,. Tue I climbed Skottinden with Ronald from Hattvika Lodge. Great guy and experienced guide. That was a fantastic experience, even though the weather changed I felt safe and secure. Best trip every. Well organized and put together by Up Norway. Highly recommended.

We are happy with the hotel choices - they are stylish and comfly. We are lucky enough to be able to see aurora and even meteor rain on the second night, though not lucky enough to see whales on the first. We did not expect to share a tent with other travellers on the second night and so we spent the night sleeping at the restaurant instead, which was not a very pleasant experience I must say. We hope the agency could provide more detailed info about the tours, such as whether warm clothing will be provided, whether any meal will be served, whether we will be sharing a tent with others, so that we could be more well prepared. Overrall, we had an enjoyable trip.

Absolutely loved working together with Upnorway to figure out a route for my trip to Norway in October! It is not an easy time of year to visit, but Torunn was very knowledgeable and ensured I got the best experience possible! Loved all the suggestions and even when I was already in Norway extra help was given figuring out ferry’s and various other things. Will visit again soon! Hopefully for a much longer time! Love, Ellen

We feel so lucky that we found UpNorway and Torunn. She was so informative and helpful from the very start. We knew we wanted to see a few areas of Norway, as well as visit the place my husband's family came from. She arranged a stellar trip for us (Oslo, the mountains, the fjords, the coast). We feel as if we've been shown the country from the inside, and without having to be among throngs of tourists. The hotels and locations were beautiful and unique, and her expertise was invaluable to us while on the trip. This is the way to travel, and we look forward to returning to Norway and seeing more!

Up Norway catered an itinerary exactly to our desires and helped us experience people and places in Norway we wound not have found out about from our side of the Atlantic.

We had Up Norway to assist in planning our Norway trip. It has been a fabulous road trip, each day was filled with exciting activities and experiences. Breathtaking scenery with changing landscape, horse riding on a beautiful mountain, we stayed at lovely farm converted boutique hotels with sumptuous dinner and breakfast. My family simply adore Norway and would love to come back again!
Thank you Up Norway!

We recently returned from our trip with Up Norway, and what a fantastic trip it has been!
This was our honeymoon and the Up Norway team made all of it very special for us.
10 days filled with beautiful scenic road trips, historic and other outstanding hotels.. and let's not forget all the amazing food we have had the pleasure of eating! Local food, local beverages - Norway has a lot to offer.
Every day, waking up in new surroundings & meeting so many nice people along the way. Small personal touches, that made us both walk around with big smiles. What's not to love?
Whenever we had any questions, we texted Up Norway via the app, and they always responded very quickly.
We will definitely book many more trips with Up Norway and will highly recommend this for anyone who loves traveling! We loved it!

I had a great experience with Up Norway. The service, logistics and everything else was superb. I highly recommend Up Norway to plan and organize your Norwegian adventure.

Up Norway was super helpful! Thanks to them, I had the best time in Norway. I was able to sync up with a great group of like-minded travelers. We hiked Trolltunga, Kjerag, Priekestolen, and more, avoiding the touristy parts of Norway the entire way. They listened to what I wanted to do, and helped me plan it out. Can't wait to go back to Norway!

As we are having this year´s summer holidays in Oslo, we decided to test the new concept, ”A Taste of Local Secrets” from Up Norway. We opted for the 24-hour alternative. Within short we got our itinerary through the very helpful app including all the necessary details for our trip. Day one started with a visit to beautiful Grøndalen Gård via the scenic route through the summery green outskirts of Oslo. Upon arrival at Grøndalen we were greeted by our lovely hosts Hans Arild and Anne. They could inform us that the farm has been in the family since the 1600s. We got to take part in the afternoon milking of the cows (including the optional tasting ) and feeding of the calves. Hans Arild and Anne are an endless source of information on history and local sustainable farming, for example all the calves get to spend their first months together with their mother – happy cows and great milk. We got the tour of the farms “cheese factory” where they create their local cheese Nyr before we ended our stay with a light meal getting to taste different versions of Nyr paired with homemade jam and bread. A truly great and unique experience.

We ended our first day with a delicious 4-course dinner at Bar Brutus, a really cool restaurant right in our own backyard in Gamlebyen (old Oslo). The staff was really friendly and helpful, the organic wine tasteful and the food really delicious. The icing on the cake was the dessert made from milk from Grøndalen Gård with a sauce made from Nyr.

The second day we spent at beautiful Håøya, a one hour boat-ride through the fjord from Oslo harbor. This is a beautiful place with lots of history and stunning nature. We started with lunch at Håøya Naturverksted, a truly amazing place where they make their own goat cheese without any electricity on the island!!! The goats are hand-milked every morning, and the rest of the day they run freely around the island. The bread is baked every day in a wood burning stove. The lunch was really tasteful, we got to try three different goat cheeses and it is really impressive how they manage to make such great food out there. Our host Helge was really friendly and full of local knowledge, and he also helped us plan our 2,5 hour long walk across the island. The scenery on the walk was beautiful, we got to see the remnants of the old fortress and we are pretty sure we saw one of the eagles who have taken residence in the habitat on the island. The walk ended on the southeastern side of the island where we were picked up by the local ferry and taken to Drøbak. There we took a cooling swim overlooking the beautiful fortress of Oscarsborg before riding the bus back to Oslo.

We had 24 amazing hours guided by Up Norway with useful and timely support along the way, exceptionally great service and high quality unique local experiences. We will definitely use Up Norway again for future adventures both around Oslo and throughout the rest of Norway.

Up Norway was from the beginning very professional, quick and efficient. They answered all my questions and helped me all the way. I recommend this company 100%

Up Norway helped us book, organize and support an unforgettable summer in Norway. They stock picked selected gastronomic experiences and the best price/service ratio hotels. We simply received a link and could with an app follow every part of our vacation. We could not have experienced Norway better from the inside. This must be the future of traveling.
Thanks to the staff for seeing nothing but opportunities all the time. A little disappointed that Up Norway did not organize better weather at “vestlandet” our last week☺.

Thanks for a great experience -See you the winter of 2017/18. Can you organize trips in Sweden as well?
