Great day they started a bit crazy

5.00We had scheduled for a noon tour that ended up leaving at 12:15 due to bus returning a bit late from previous tour. Rainy & foggy weather. . But no problem— still plenty of time to get back before ship all aboard time. However, 3:00 return time became 4:00!!! But, as much guests fault as anything— everyone kind of took a little extra time at each stop and guide didn’t push departure times. Troll cars were totally fun. Hike to glacier was a bit much if any mobility issues. First stop at troll wall was pretty rainy and foggy so we made another stop there on return drive when weather had cleared some. This extra stop added to the late return but it was nice she arranged it. Troll road drive was cancelled due to a landslide in 2024 and road closure. No fault of tour company but kind of disappointing. Yes, I would book this tour again.
Pleasant trip

3.00Coach trip around the Åndalsnes area. We were informed of revised itinerary due to the closure of the Troll Road. Enjoyed the trip around but the stop at a Troll campsite was a waste of time in my opinion. Guide gave us some information about the local area which was interesting.
Great tour

5.00Your tour guide did a great job. We just wish the rock slides had not closed the road up the mountain…. That was not your fault at all. Thanks for a great tour.

5.00Dennis and union the driver provided a great tour compensating for the troll road being closed due to rock slides. Many water falls, troll wall. Got us close to the road to see it winding.
Tour does not actually take you up the Troll Road as described - only up to the bottom of the closed road to take pics

2.00Took some nice pictures of the troll wall, but the details for this excursion need to be re-written to reflect the fact that this tour no longer actually travels the winding road. Unfortunately, the description still mentions that you travel the hairpin turns (which you don’t) and mentions that you get to look out over it from the top (which you don’t). You do get to see it but they drive you to the bottom as high as they can before the road closes and then you take pictures.
