At the conclusion of a European tour, we wanted to see more of Norway. My wife found Jandis Tours and was connected to Vlad Morozov. Vlad and his firm provided highly professional and personable service throughout. He is very knowledgeable and provided excellent local perspective and commentary on historical elements. He was a very good tour guide, taking us to some very fun side stops, and arranging for a superior tour of the fjords - on the nicest tour boat I have been on - a stark contrast to the crumby, cramped little vessels in Amsterdam and others. It was a long day, but Vlad kept us informed, and sometimes entertained, and always actively engaged in the tour. The cost was more than reasonable, and I think he received the largest gratuity I have ever offered.

The tour title says it well, you couldn’t ask for more, natural beauty of Norway in a nutshell , our guide Vlad did a great job describing everything from Bergen towards the end. A great plus for any journey to this beautiful country, I highly recommend the cruise toward Flam as a part from this tour.
