Many travelers from same cruise ship interested with this tour. The meeting point was crowded. Fortunately it was quite organized and we were on the bus shortly after. The bus driver was Bernstein. She was also the tour guide on the bus giving us lots of interesting and funny info. We had a blast. We went to see the reindeers first. In fact we saw two at the small shop. Plus we saw a bunch by the road side. Then we went to the North Cape. A bit windy but no rain. Everyone there was in high spirits. On the way back B took us around the town a bit and finally we stopped to go see the northern light show, and returned to the ship. Thoroughly enjoyed the excursion. Would recommend this to anyone.
Chaotic at best

I purchased an excursion to coincide with cruise ship being in port. North Cape Express with Sami family visit. Did not receive vouchers in a timely basis. Kept calling Viator. They would send messages & I would send messages. Kept being assured they were “on their way”. Then about five days before the excursion (already on ship but thankfully checking email) received an email saying my trip was cancelled but offered an alternative. So, with no choices left, I took the alternative (fewer features) trip. But, THEN I started getting vouchers for the ORIGINAL trip! Now I had NO idea what trip I was on or what time. Various vouchers had various times. (8:30, 11:15, 1:00). No clue what time I needed to get off the ship (tender port). So, got off in time for 8:30 to check in just in case. Found out we weren’t scheduled until 1:00! So, 4 hours to hang around town with no shops open yet. Regarding the actual trip—— massive chaos at the check in point!!! Everyone just crowding. “Don’t worry folks we have room for all of you on multiple busses” — even though only one bus was sitting there!!! And when we got to North Cape— “I’ll pick you up right here—- just look for Natasha in the green jacket”. Ya right!!! Started searching parking lot shortly before pickup time —bus in different place and Natasha had removed her green jacket. So much for identifying feature!!! I have used Viator numerous times with no problems but this vendor should be removed. DOES. NOT LIVE UP TO VIATOR STANDARDS in any regard. What a mess!!! Now I can’t wait to get home & see what they have done with my credit card!!!
Stay away from North Cape Tours company!

The North Cape Tours bumped all those who purchased through viatar as they resold all tickets to walk up people. We were canceled from first choice accepted a back up then pushed from an 11:15 to 1pm tour making return too close for our comfort. They were rude and dismissive. They could not say a nice word about viatar, whom we have always had good experiences with. They tour operators admitted that viatar bought tickets and that they resold the tickets. We watched as the first excursion that we were told was canceled left. Then we were rudely told as we were boarding our bus that we were on 1pm even though ticket clearly said 11:15. While trying to resolve the issue one lady came over and said to ignore us and move on to "full pay" customers. I do not recommend North Cape Tours!
Beautiful excursion to the North Cape

Bus left on time from the visitor center. Commentary went through audio tour and the way was with a lot of humor. We had a laugh. We made 2 short stops at a viewpoint and at the reindeer farm on the way there. This was not really a farm but 1 Sami man in costume with a reindeer on a rope. Thereby a tipi and a souvenir shop. It was a nice photo opportunity. Then drove on via a beautiful route to the North Cape. We had 1.5 hours there which was sufficient. Then drove back and a last photo stop of 10 minutes at a fishing village. We found the excursion well organized and beautiful.
Impressive North Cape, Norway

This was a well planned and thorough excursion. Our driver was the most competent we’ve seen in a while and she had great commentary. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the North Cape.
