“I really liked our two guides! They split the group of 14 people into two parts to better individually help everyone with learning to cross country ski and Hans (my groups guide) gave really helpful advice:) After getting the basics covered, we went as one big group at the start on the trails but even then the faster people could go ahead with one of the guides joining in and adjusting the route depending on our level as we went. It was truly amazing and you could chat a lot if wanted!”

“The guide was easily the best we’ve ever had! She was so knowledgeable, informative, and funny! Great sights in Oslo but the guide made it extra special. One note: if you’re on a cruise (as we were) and used to being met at the dock, heads up! This tour begins in the city center. It’s an easy 20 minute walk. We weren’t paying attention to that detail and realized too late, so had to take a taxi. The thieves charged €50 for a 5-minute ride!!!”

“The most lovely person ever! Håvard made our entire experience so special. I came for my birthday and it was excellent. I wasn’t really sure what cross-country skiing would be like, but it was so much fun. We were a big group of 13, and he accommodated all of us so well—even when some of my friends wandered off and weren’t as attentive. He was fantastic, took great photos of us, and was just overall amazing. He really made the whole experience memorable. To top it all off, at the end his mum made us the best hot chocolate we’ve ever had, and we got to try a traditional Norwegian…”
