This excursion without lunch lasts 6.5 hours, while the version with lunch lasts 7.5 hours. If your ship is in port for at least 8 hours, you can join the tour without lunch and return in time for your ship’s departure. For ships in port for 9 hours or more, you may choose either the lunch-included or lunch-excluded tour. We routinely begin this excursion 30 minutes after a ship arrives in port.
Trollstigen is closed for the 2024 season. The risk of falling rocks poses too great a danger to keep the road open until adequate safety measures are implemented. Trollstigen plateau is still accessible. Due to the route change, we will not be able to visit Trollveggen on this tour.

5.00This is the tour company to use! From the first moment we reached the cruise terminal exit we were impressed. They had people in yellow jackets all along the way to keep pointing us in the right direction. It was a short 3 minute walk. They had comfortable clean buses with a bathroom aboard. We left right at the time they said we would leave. Lulu the guide and Bill the bus driver were excellent. We learned a lot about the area, the Troll myth and why the houses on the farms had grass on their roof. You have to take the tour to find out why. We made several scenic stops for photos with plenty of time to snap them all. We stopped at a popular beautiful camping location. We were expecting a box lunch but it was a very tasty buffet that was perfectly organized for all the people. The ship was charging twice as much to take the very same tour. You won’t go wrong with this company. I can’t say enough good things about them
Spectacular landscapes,

4.00This was a great excursion and really got you out to see some of the beautiful natural beauty that makes up this part of Norway. That being said, it is a long day and mostly on the bus and the bus had some very steep steps which was a bit hard if you have limited mobility. But all in all a wonderful experience and well worth it!
