Top Andalsnes Private & Custom Tours

What a blast! From incredible places away from the crowds to fantastic meal with Salmon and Goat meat at a farm specially made for Myla (other clients around wanted to order same food as ours but couldn’t) Myla is so friendly and accommodating any wishes, she even organized a last minute tour in the evening at our next port Alesund the next day while being away. If you are looking for an exclusive tour, don’t hesitate, book Myla!

Great experience with booking and tour.

Unbelievable guide! Could not have been a better excursion! Town and surroundings are gorgeous. Excursion included traditional snacks, lunch, and drive to phenomenal sites for photos!

Radmyla was terrific as was the whole tour! She picked us up right as planned at the cruise port and off we went through amazingly beautiful countryside which she narrated enriching our experience. Little bonuses like fresh strawberries and cherries were in season and delicious. Lunch was Norwegian style sampler which was tasty and fun! Going private was worth the price to be away from the crowds.

Thanks to Igvar for the carefully arranged opportunity to get to know Norway. Well-known and lesser-known places, recommendations for choosing local products and well-maintained accommodation in the very center of Alessund. He and his team (gide Margita) ensured that our time in Norway surpassed our expectations. We recommend that if you want to see, feel and experience something much more ! Great team ! Thank you one more time !

This was my second visit here, but first time in the winter season. I wanted to experience the 24-hour darkness period, hopefully see the Aurora Borealis, visit the only brewery in the Arctic and go dog sledding. I had two 1/2 days to accomplish these goals. Upon stepping outside the terminal I was greeted by a blast of wind (-17.5 Celsius/ -27.5 Celsius wind chill). Good thing I wore the right cold weather gear! It was 1400 and pitched black out. I quickly found the shuttle bus that would take me to the Svalbard Hotell-Polfareren. I stayed here before and knew I would be treated warmly and friendly. The Svalbard Hotell-Polfareren provides a delicious breakfast to help start your day. The hotel is next door to the Tourist Center where I was able to book my Arctic dog sledding with Basecamp Explorer and a tour of the Svalbard Bryggeri (Brewery) and sample some of their beers. I would have to depend on Mother Nature on whether or not I'd see the Aurora Borealis. Basecamp Explorer picked up me and six others from our hotel the morning of dog sledding adventure and drove us first to their office. There we were fitted with snowmobile suits, hat, mittens and boots, a baclava, a half facemask, a headlamp and goggles. They ensured we would be warm. After going over the initial safety briefing we all got back into the van and were driven to the dog camp. We got to meet the sled dogs (around 70 of them); shown how to harness them (which we did); how to drive the sled and use the two brake systems. There were a total of five sleds going out on this ride and each of us would get the chance to "drive" the sled and dog team. We started sliding out the camp gate down the hill into the valley we'd be sledding around. It was a blast - riding as a passenger and more so driving. It was dark, but you could see the outline of the mountains letting us know the sun was out there way south of where we were. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed carrying us across the snow packed valley and we had to lightly apply the "light" brake to slow them down so the sled wouldn't surge past them! At the end of the 10 Kilometer ride we arrived back to the camp; unharnessed the dogs and returned them to their respected dog houses. Then we got a special treat of meeting around two dozen dog sled puppies in their pen. It was utter bedlam as the puppies jumped all over us trying to greet us, chew on anything dangling, and have total fun. Afterwards, we were driven back to the office to return all the gear, put our own gear back on and returned to the hotel. This is definitely another adventure I'd do again. For beer lovers and those who want to learn about some neat recent Longyearbyen history visiting the Svalbard Bryggeri is worthwhile. You learn how this brewery came into being (basically getting Norway to change the law against brewing beer here), the amazing life story of its founder, Robert Johansen, and tasting their favorable beers. It's a good evening tour. There are numerous shops, places to eat (i.e. Cafe Huskies; try chocolate candies from Fruene - made in Longyearbyen), and a grocery store to resupply if needed. The history of Longyearbyen is amazing and all around for you to explore on your own. I definitely want to come back here again to experience this winter wonderland.

Geiranger (and the surrounding areas) is beautiful, and the tour with Myla was excellent. Myla was able to drive on roads that didn’t include tour buses and, stop in places for pictures without large crowds. The love she has for the area is clear, and made the tour that much more enjoyable.Lunch was at a small family run restaurant, where we tried local specialties. Definitely a place we would have never found on our own.The tour ended in a spot that allowed us to walk down several steps alongside a waterfall. There are many landings, so you are able to stop for pictures, and not interfere with others walking up and down the steps. If we didn’t want to walk down, she could have driven us to the bottom.This is definitely a must-do tour.

Absolutely stunning scenery accompanied with a very friendly and informative host, who by the way takes great pictures

We had an excellent time! By the end of the day, we felt we had seen a great deal of Geiranger and the Glaciers. Maya was excellent and very personable! Well worth the $!

This was an 8.5 hr couch tour arranged by a group of us from our ship NCL Prima who met via Cruise Critic roll call. There were 27 of us on a comfortable coach that drove up into the mountains towards Stryn Norway for many fabulous panoramic photo stops to enjoy the views.Our tour guide - Iggy, was a delight to listen to during our travels as he pointed out great sights to see, explained the history of the region and other personal antidotes.The tour included a “picnic” lunch that was a pre-wrapped sub sandwich, fruit and snacks. We ended up just eating on the bus, since it was drizzling rain, but that was a very good use of our time.The highlight stop was Birksdalen Glacier which included a troll car (6 person buggy) ride up the mountain trail to get close to the glacier. The pristine fiords, interior lakes and rushing water everywhere were amazing sights to see.

We toured Geiranger with Renars as the first leg of our honeymoon. He was simply put AWESOME! So knowledgable, easy to be with, efficient, and showed us many special spots. Along with our tour with Igvar, this was the HIGHLIGHT of our Norway trip.Do not miss this trip - it's a once in a lifetime, bucket list experience.
