What our guests are saying:
“Trolls are Norway’s big, clumsy forest giants — sometimes scary, often silly, and always a little smelly. They hide in the mountains, turn to stone in the sunlight, and are best avoided unless you’ve packed an extra waffle or two.”
Every tour we operate includes a 24-hour cancellation window, meaning you can cancel for a full refund as long as it’s done at least one day before the tour begins.
