"We are a family of five with three teenagers. We wanted an active vacation in Norway that connected us with its wonderful scenery and people. We planned a two week trip where we visited some of Norway's popular highlights on our own, then asked Heritage Adventures to recommend and organize a five day hiking trip through Norway's beautiful Sognefjord region.
Heritage Adventures listened closely to our family's specific interests, and created an unforgettable tour for us that far exceeded our expectations. Their customized journey, led by capable and personable Norwegians guides, allowed us to learn and see things we would never have found on our own. It was truly the highlight of an unforgettable trip. We especially enjoyed our daylong hike through a most scenic fjord valley with our wonderful guide, the halfday hike amongst high mountain farms, and our spectacular overnight at the Stigen Farm. All along the way, we enjoyed comfortable accommodations, a personal and friendly atmosphere, and really felt more in touch with Norwegians and their remarkable country. Heritage Adventures helped us experience a more private side of Norway that is difficult to access as a tourist. Ingjerd made sure the whole trip was trouble free so we could relax and enjoy Norway with just the right amount of supervision. Thank you Norwegian Heritage Adventures !

"We are now back home in Wisconsin from our wonderful trip to Paris, Iceland, Faroe Islands and Norway. I want to let you know that all the tours you arranged in Norway for my family were exceptional. The guides on the fishing, hiking, kayaking and biking tours were always very professional and had great knowledge of the areas we visited. All the four of us truly enjoyed our visit to Norway and I have a feeling we will be back. I will keep your email address for future trip planning. Again, thank you for your outstanding activity/excursion planning".

"Our small group of six enjoyed a most exciting and interesting shore excursion privately arranged for us when we visited the Sognefjord onboard our private yacht.
Ingjerd in Heritage Adventures designed a day tour being a highlight on our Norway cruise. We thoroughly enjoyed both the train ride on the Flam line and the spectacular viewpoint overlooking the fjord. Even more unforgettable was our privately guided cruise from Flam to Gudvangen in the Naroyfjord World Heritage Area. The friendly local guide from Heritage Adventures had both a lot of knowledge and many fascinating stories aswell as a flexibility and big local network. This made it possible to arrange sudden stops at small farming villages along the fjord. Here we got in touch with the local people and their culture, heard their stories and tasted their local food. What an experience ! Thank you Heritage Adventures for sharing these treasures with us. We recommend you ! "

"Our two very successful private cruises in Western Norway were nothing short of a stellar experience for our well-traveled guests. This is due in no small part from the expert guidance and attention to detail that we received from Ingjerd Anda and her Heritage Adventures custom tour company. Her vast local knowledge covers the best locations, guides, hikes, restaurants and more than a few very special events that sent our guests home with fond memories and great photos. In the early stages of planning I found myself overwhelmed with too many options and limited online available information, Heritage Adventures had all the answers and some even better suggestions. I certainly hope to return to Norway in near future for many more miles of unspoiled, magnificent cruising". –

"My wife and I just completed a trip to Norway organized by Heritage Adventures (July 3-9). Prior to the trip we worked back and forth with Ingjerd in Heritage to get the trip to be what we wanted to be in a completely custom way. Heritage is very well connected with hotels, restaurants and other vendors in Norway. They were able to get is great rooms in hotels which others had told us were fully booked and impossible to get. They know great restaurants and secure the best tables. We had private guide when appropriate, but wanted to be on our own when possible. They have great integrity and stand behind their work and product, - they listen to what YOU want your trip to be! I recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for a great custom trip to Norway".

"Dear Ingjerd,
I am writing to tell you what an exceptional job you and your colleagues did when you arranged our tour of Oslo,the fjords and Bergen. We especially appreciated the great treatment our granddaughter, Jane, received.
Many people who are fortunate enough to be able to travel in extra comfort and luxury do not understand that true luxury is more than staying in the nicest rooms in top hotels. It is having someone meet you at the airport, handle your luggage, take you in true comfort to your hotel, and then guide you around the areas you wish to explore, someone who plans the day and keeps it on track so that you don't have to think about appointment times and transportation. I believe one gets more consideration from people when activities, such as the kayaking and the glacier walk that we did, are booked through a respected agent such as yourself. Furthermore you know the best providers of the services required.
For those who know what they want to do and see, having someone work with you and arrange it for you makes the planning of the trip so much less stressful. Alternatively, if you don't want to think about it, but just want someone to ask about your interests and then plan the trip, your company is just the ticket. I especially appreciated your advice regarding which stave church to visit. You steered us toward one that was not
filled with tourists, but was at least as interesting as more well known churches. The man who did the private tour with us was especially pleasant, knowledgeable, and interesting.
Thank you for your efforts and patience with my very demanding nature. I am glad to hear that you are expanding the company to include more of Scandinavia. In this case, I am sure we will work with you again soon in the not too distant future. We wish you good luck with your expanded endeavor"
