  This tour was disappointing. Inadequate instructions for the meeting point. We booked because the tour group was advertised as a maximum of 35 people, but you guessed it, 60 on the bus. The “tour” of the fishing village was a photo stop only. The visit to the Sami Family farm a stop to buy their souvenirs. The driver, Bernadette was friendly and the recorded commentary was funny. A positive note was that we had 2 hours at the Cape because the bus went back to pick up another tour group before returning us to Honningsvag. Fortunately we had superb weather but realistically there were probably better options for a basic bus trip.

  This could possibly have been the worst experience I’ve ever had on a tour. I booked this tour through Viator online by speaking to a chat person named Jillian. I was very clear that we wanted a small group tour and asked if she could set that up for us in Honningsvag. She said she would put us on a minivan bus that would hold no more than 15 that we would have a 3 1/2 hour tour that would include meeting a Sami family with stops along the way to the North Cape for photo opportunities. When we showed up at the port to meet our tour, we were told we were on a large bus not a mini bus. That was just the start of the bad day. The large bus couldn’t get their audio guide to work on the way to the Cape and the supposed stop to meet a Sami family was a 5 minute stop for a picture of a poor reindeer tied up next to a shed of a building where an old Sami woman was selling trinkets. We did not meet a Sami family. We got no information about the Sami and there were no other stops to take pictures at points that might’ve been of interest. There were many times on the way up and the way down that we passed herds of reindeer and could’ve had the bus driver stop for a photo op, this did not happen. Our driver was rude and not helpful and mostly in flexible when we try to talk to him about our situation. Upon returned to our ship, we called.Viator to let them know how horrible the tour was and that we wanted a refund. We were denied a refund even after we escalated our claim. Viator did not stand by us as customers and allowed their vendor to misrepresent what the tour actually was. Needless to say.we would not recommend using Viator or North Cape tours. Buyer be ware.

• Viator oversold excursion

  Viator claimed in a message to us a couple of days before the excursion date that our tour was not operating that day and switched us to a stripped down version of the tour at a different time. However, when the tickets showed up in our basket, the original time was listed on the ticket so we went to the meeting place at the time on the ticket. Shortly after boarding the tour bus, the tour operator kicked us off the bus because we were supposed to be on the later tour as mentioned in the messages but NOT in agreement with the tickets we had received from Viator. During our discussions off the bus with the tour operator, we found out from the tour operator directly that Viator had oversold the upscale tour. The tour operator also said this is frequent problem they have with Viator. The tour was fine but the hassles we had to go through on the ground due to Viator overselling the upscale tour, giving us conflicting information on which tour and time we were supposed to be on, and then having to get off a tour bus we had been allowed to board left a sour taste with respect to Viator.

  Did not know what time my tour was. I found the tour guide a she was extremely friendly and patient. She felt bad that I did not know my scheduled time which was 3 hours later. The tour guide even sought me out at North Cape and asked I if had seen every thing and asked if I would like to take an earlier shuttle back to the ship.

  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.
