For a wonderful insight into the lives and history of the people of Lerwick take ‘A Step Back in Time’.

Our tour starts in the fishing port of Lerwick, founded back in the 17th century. The centre is full of character, especially by the water’s edge where the older buildings are situated.

Our tour gives us the opportunity to enjoy the unique, picturesque landscape of the Shetland Isles with visits to one of Europe's most impressive archaeological sites and one of the most accessible seabird colonies in the UK.

Ålesund is the largest town on the northwest coast of Norway. It has a spectacular setting - built on three islands close to the ocean and with a backdrop of impressive mountain peaks.

This tour shows us parts of the splendid town and takes us to the breathtaking viewpoint on Mount Aksla, for the best panoramic view of this spectacular scenery.

The community of Giske consists of several islands that are connected to the mainland by bridges and a long sub-sea tunnel. We shall explore two of the islands today – the ‘Saga Island’ of Giske, and picturesque Godøy.

The largest tank contains 4,000,000 litres of seawater and we can view the marine life through an acrylic panel that is 26.5 centimetres thick, 18 metres long and four metres high.

We shall visit the Open Air Folk Museum at Sverresborg. Buildings have been brought to the site from all over the area and reassembled to provide a cross section of life and architecture and an authentic insight into the urban and rural culture of Trøndelag County.

Granåsen Ski Jumping Arena opened in its present style in 1991 and our tour today will take us to see some jumps taking place, as well as seeing something of Trondheim itself.

Our walking tour will show us Trondheim up close as well as Nidaros Cathedral.

The trolley ride passes through an area with picturesque old wooden houses in vivid colours, most of which were built after a devastating fire in 1842.

The track crosses the river and ascends above a waterfall to the top, where we will have a fantastic view of the Briksdal Glacier – an arm of the mighty Jostedal Glacier.

Our experienced local skipper will steer our course on a short cruise to the bottom of the fjord arm at Loen, to one of the best fishing spots.

Enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the deep, green Olden Lake aboard the comfortable M/B Olden.

This full day tour will highlight the best of the area, including a cruise on the UNESCO World Heritage listed Geirangerfjord.

This tour allows us to see the most spectacular area in Norway from the air, from the comfort of a modern helicopter!

We shall walk up to the Kjenndalen Glacier – part of the mighty Jostedal Glacier, the largest glacier in mainland Europe – for a fantastic view.

In the afternoon we board our train bound for Myrdal and Flåm. The first part of the journey will be on the Oslo – Bergen Express across the vast, barren Hardangervidda mountain plateau (we will have a good view of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier).

This is a unique opportunity for a closer encounter with the Sognefjord. Figuring on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the Nærøyfjord is a spectacular fjord arm – part of the mighty Sognefjord – so narrow we will almost be able to touch the mountains on either side. The fjord is sheltered by these mountains and is thus perfect for kayaking.

We will travel as far as Østerbø. Here refreshments are served in the small mountain lodge, once a farm but uninhabited since the 1920’s.

From Flåm (meaning ‘large expanse of land between high mountains’), we board the train to take us to Myrdal. The track we will follow is an engineering wonder, ascending to 867 metres (2,844 feet) within just 50 minutes. It has a gradient of 1 in 18 over a distance of 20 kilometres (12 miles). The world famous railway was built between 1920 and 1940, and was in fact opened by German troops, who had a large military camp in Flåm.

Many tales have been born in the area of Gudvangen. Sailing into the Nærøyfjord and sighting the cliff called The Hoof, we can surely understand why.

This walking tour will show us the sights of Bergen in the company of an experienced guide and we shall also have a trip on the Funicular.

Our tour will take us up one of the seven hills that surround Bergen to get a bird's eye view of the city and surroundings, followed by a drive through both old and new parts of Bergen.

Catch a glimpse of Bergen’s past in a corner of western Norway that abounds in culture and history.
