“It was the perfect tour with amazing scenery of the fjords. The start and end location of the tour was just one minute away from the Radisson Blu—very convenient. The boat was small but cozy, with nice tea and coffee facilities. Fishing was also fun; we saw an eagle and the fish caught by the tourists, was added to the freshly cooked fish soup. By the way Stephanie’s fish soup was the best food we tried during the trip. The hosts were friendly and attentive—I definitely recommend it!”
