Beautiful

Sue_N, Nov 2024

Our bus driver did an excellent job. Excellent Tour. What a Beautiful Country. We saw Breathtaking views.

All I can say is I took the excursion

Annemarie_C, Oct 2024

It was a chilly, dreary and drizzly day. You couldn’t see anything. Because of the weather, we couldn’t travel the Troll Road. We didn’t see any Trolls. We didn’t see any breathtaking views. The Tourist Center was closed. Perhaps on another day. But it was a bust. Of course that’s at due to Mother Nature. So it just made for an average excursion.

Good Tour with a Bad Description

Erin_P, Oct 2024

The Land of Trolls sightseeing tour offered us a beautiful opportunity to see this area of Norway. It included stops at waterfalls , mountain tops, and a lovely spot with views for lunch. Sometimes the views were obstructed by the rain and clouds but that’s the reality of Norway. There were a couple of issues which included the closure of the road with the hairpin turns. It has been this way since June 2024 and is indefinite for at least the next year or so. So the description is not accurate. Our tour guide was lackluster. He could have used our time together by providing more information about the area’s geography and the lifestyles of its inhabitants.

    After the ascent up to the Trollstigen Plateau, we take a longer stop to enjoy the breathtaking views. Food and drinks can be bought in the shop/cafeteria.
