Everything we wanted plus +
Everything we described to our MN trip Lanner happened! I wanted to see puffins and we went on an amazing trip to the top of a cliff to see 100's of them and at another location 100's were there and we were able to watch them fly and float on the water. Both amazing experiences. Hotels were the quality we asked for and the service top notch. During the planning phase and prior to departure, our trip planner, Laura, was easily accessible and responsive. Definitely knowledgeable about the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Itinerary was perfect.

Great topography and scenery
Great topography and scenery. We did some great hikes. We had enough free time to do what we wanted to, but also some nice scheduled events. The hotels were very good but Hotel Kria could use a makeover.

Spanish cyclist
My name is Carol (49). I am from Spain. I've done many cycling trips with different tour operators, but I've never experienced the level of organization, communication, service, and personal care that I had with MN. Of course, the scenery and nature were amazing, but what really made the difference was feeling supported throughout the entire trip. I always felt that someone was there for me and ready to help whenever I needed it. It was an outstanding experience. So Thank you for being so professional. Carol -

A well organised trip which met all our needs and was very enjoyable. The company was helpful and responsive when putting the holiday together and when a minor adjustment to a pick up time was requested when travelling. We sensed there was good support available throughout our trip if needed. No hesitation in using MN if we venture north again.

Highly recommended bicycle trip.
This was a fantastic trip. The islands are spectacular. We were lucky to have pretty good weather and even when the weather was not so good we loved being there. The roads are mostly safe and there is not much traffic on most of the route. One does need to be careful in some areas as the shoulders of the roads can be variable and unpredictable. The hikes we did were wonderful and well worth the effort. Magnetic North was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Highly recommended!

We had never booked an adventure with Magnetic North and never one without an actual guide with us. Everything was extremely well planned. It took us a little time to get used to the two apps used but once we did, everything was easy. The location recommended was beautiful and the roads were nice and safe.
The only thing I would recommend would be to add the date next to the sequence of days in the itinerary.
Thanks Laura

Excellent hotel choices and convenient lodging locations. Top two events were the Oslo country side hike and the Stockholm sailing expedition. All other events were also good, including palaces and museums.

Laura G constructed a fabulous trip for two couples for two weeks in Norway in the western fjord region ending with a terrific few days in Oslo. Every detail was covered. The journey was seamless. We wasted no time waiting for any transport. The accommodations and guides were wonderful. We accomplished far more than we ever could have managed planning on our own. We knew this would be a trip of a lifetime, and are amazed that it was even better than expected! We took advantage of all the hardy and delicious breakfasts to get us through our exciting days. We enjoyed activities like kayaking, hiking, and the sunset cruise in Oslo. We thought the MN App was really helpful, and Laura also checked on us along the way. Bonus: It was so delightful to be with local people as Norway was winning games in the World Cup. Our photos are great, but our fond memories are even greater! Thank you, Magnetic North.

Hi Kathleen,
Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are so pleased you had a wonderful time experiencing all that Norway has to offer at this time of year. Paddling through the fjords just can't be beaten in my opinion.
Thank you very much for trusting us with your holiday plans and we look forward to planning your next adventure!

Magnetic North was thoughtful and knowledgeable in planning our 4 country, 6 stop whirlwind trip! Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Flam, Bergen & Copenhagen. They took into consideration all of our ideas and needs. The tour guides they booked for us were amazing, wonderful, knowledgeable and so pleasant to be with. The drivers were all perfect, arriving on time, finding us wherever, and sharing their local expertise with us. Magnetic North is detail oriented, fully informed about the Nordic/Scandinavia experience and able to book and leverage that experience so that you have a fabulous time. Do not hesitate to use them for your trip.

Our Finland Archipelago Bike adventure was great. From the moment we began planning the trip until its completion Annie was extremely responsive, helpful, personable and detail-oriented. The turn-by-turn app was clear and easy to use which made for an stress-free self guided tour. We were also impressed with their local partner, 10 bikes rental. The e-bikes were comfortable, in good shape, size of panniers can accommodate most of your luggage and Taneli took great care of us. All our lodging was quaint, breakfasts good and hosts friendly. In particular, the dinners at the hotel in Hyppeis and hotel Nestor were some of the most delicious we have enjoyed anywhere!

Everything ran as it was set up and the vendors were very friendly, on time and the quality of the vendors were top notch. Enjoyed it all. Also like the way the hotels had been selected close to old towns and the train stations.

Our trip exceeded our expectations. All of the details planned were great. Annie Fredvang was attentive in listening to my requests and concerns and worked very hard to address them all. I really appreciated her suggestion that we stay at 292 Aurland in Aurland, Norway. I was hesitant and she convinced me it would be terrific. And it was. That is why using a travel agent familiar with the country is so important. Her knowledge and suggestions were excellent.
What we loved about 292 Aurland as the contact we had with local people. Our tour of Laerdal and the Borgund Stave Church could not have gone better, as our guide was the former mayor of Laerdal, who was helping out Bjorn, the co-owner. It ended up being one of the best travel days of our lives. We totally hit it off with him and have a friend for life. My husband is half Norwegian and "the mayor" was incredible helping us piece together his history, and has promised to help find the original family farm somewhere in the Hallingdal Valley. He even helped my husband find "lefse" like his grandmother made by contacting a baker he knows, who went to work making "lefse" that he dropped off for us the next day. We learned so much about Norway, its people, history, schools, social services. It was tremendous. We only wish we could have stayed in Norway longer!
I would not hesitate to recommend Magnetic Travel or Annie Fredvang. And who knows? We might be making another trip to meet my husbands relatives in Hallingdal!

WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review and what a trip you had! Not just the traditional sense, but it seems you were able to dive so much deeper into your family history.

Thanks again, we can't wait to welcome you back to Norway and the Magnetic North very soon!
