Norway Travel Agent Expert

Norwegian Landscape
Norwegian Landscape

A Nordic Odyssey: Exploring the Majesty of Norway, with its rugged fjords, snow-capped peaks, and charming coastal towns, beckoned me for an unforgettable journey through its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural tapestry.

Day 1: Arrival in Oslo, the capital city. It greeted me with a perfect blend of modern sophistication and historical treasures. The Viking Ship Museum and the Fram Museum provided a fascinating glimpse into Norway's seafaring history, while the vibrant Grünerløkka district offered a taste of the city's contemporary arts and culinary scene.

Day 2: Iconic Fjords of FlamA scenic train ride from Oslo to Flam transported me to the heart of fjord country. The journey itself was an adventure, with the train winding through picturesque valleys and mountains. Arriving in Flam, I embarked on a cruise through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, marveling at the sheer cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the serenity of the pristine waters.

Day 3: Bergen's Hanseatic Heritage Bergen, nestled between mountains and fjords, unfolded its Hanseatic charm as I strolled through the colorful Bryggen Wharf. The Hanseatic Museum provided insight into the city's maritime history, and a ride on the Fløibanen Funicular offered panoramic views of Bergen and its surrounding fjords.

Day 4: Tromsø's Arctic Wonders Heading north to Tromsø, I found myself in the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Cathedral and the Polaria aquarium provided a unique perspective on life in the far north. An exhilarating dog sledding excursion under the dancing Northern Lights added a touch of magic to my Arctic adventure.

Day 5: Lofoten Islands' Coastal Majesty Flying to the Lofoten Islands, I was welcomed by dramatic landscapes where sharp peaks met the deep blue sea. Exploring fishing villages like Reine and Å, with their red Rorbu cabins, showcased the resilience of communities living in harmony with nature. The scenic beauty of the islands left me in awe, with every turn revealing a postcard-perfect view.

Day 6: Trondheim's Medieval Allure Trondheim, with its medieval cathedral and charming old town, provided a cultural interlude. Nidaros Cathedral's intricate architecture and the historic Bakklandet district, with its colorful houses and cobblestone streets, offered a glimpse into Norway's medieval past.

Day 7: Back to Oslo - Culmination of the Journey Returning to Oslo for the final leg of the journey, I reflected on the awe-inspiring landscapes, vibrant cities, and warm hospitality that defined my Norwegian adventure. Norway had not only showcased its natural wonders but also shared the stories of its resilient people, creating memories that would linger long after the journey's end.

Girls Out

Reviewed By Bree - Durham NC | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Tads travel hub was seriously a lifesaver for my bridal trip. I couldn’t handle booking a vacation for an entire group of gals, but Tad saved ud. I was skeptical about using a travel agent at first, but Tad has been nothing short of amazing. He helped fix so many errors in my trip I didn’t even know were there.

25th Anniversary trip.

Reviewed By Happy customer - Durham NC | Traveled to Europe
My husband and our teenage daughters traveled through 7 European countries by plane, train, boat, car, bike and foot. A theme that matched our international wedding. We visited friends and family in Norway, Holland, and Poland while driving and staying in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and France.

Although the weather was very hot in some places (it was August) and there was no air conditioning, it really didn’t matter as this trip was truly amazing and a beautiful experience to share and hold in our memories forever.

Our teens at the time were challenged some, but overall they LOVED IT! The shopping, meeting new family and seeing family we had not seen in years.

Tad arranged our entire itinerary, with a leased vehicle, ferry tickets, accommodations, and great advice on every aspect of our experience.

I recommend him highly and will use him again.
