This tour was beyond fabulous. Between Andreas as our guide and the scenery of the Briksdal glacier and atop the Loen Lift, our day with Andreas couldn't have been better. He is very personable, easy to converse with and will provide you with so much more information than you would get on a group tour. Andreas also provided us with a nice lunch of some Norwegian food items and beer. The day flew by and we were sorry that it had to end. I can't recommend this tour and guide enough.

I have now visited Norway for the second time with Andreas Skogrand, owner of Private Guided Norway, as my guide...once was just not enough! It was truly an EPIC trip that was an absolute blast from start to finish! He handled everything, all I had to do was get there! Leading up to the trip it was easy, he's super friendly and a great communicator. He had so many cool things planned…Lofoten Islands eagle safari, cod fishing, learn about & visit ocean salmon farms, seeing the Northern Lights, taking the Hurtigruten down the coast, ATVing in the mountains to camp in a teepee and have dinner made by a private chef, visiting Roros-a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nidaros Cathedral in Trodenheim, fabulous hotels & spas, shopping, beautiful restaurants/meals…the list goes on. It was truly a trip of a lifetime.

There are no words to adequately describe Andreas. He is exceptional in every way - knowledge, driving, flexibility, personality and accommodating. 

We spent 7 days with him and truly felt like we were leaving a family member. He goes above and beyond in every way.

Molde - Trollstigen

August 2024

Trollstigen was excellent, we were not able to go on to Trollstigen road itself, but this was due to rockfalls - nothing the guide could do anything about. Our guide was still able to take us up to Trollstigen via the back road.
Very happy with the tour experience, good communications, the guide had an easy going manner and was helpful in customizing our itinerary.
Good communications, fair prices and was able to organize a trip to Trollstigen after our cruise line had cancelled their excursion there.

We visited The Briksdalsbreen Glaciers, were a sight to behold. We felt the power of the falls.
It was raining and cold, but we enjoyed the sight. We took a ton of photos and videos.
Definitely a must go to tour. Highly recommended.

Nordfjordeid, Briksdal,

This tour provided the best of both adventures our cruise offered, the troll cars and skylift. We were so pumped that we could do both with Shore Tours Guides.
We had the BEST day with Andreas! He did an excellent job of showing off how truly magical Norway is. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to his stories and learning about Norway. Our boat was a little delayed with tendering services and Andreas did a great job communicating and pivoting so that we were able to maximize our day. We were so surprised and delighted by the snacks he shared with us. It was a 15/10 day and would ABSOLUTELY recommend booking a tour with Andreas!

Our outstanding experience!
Our tour of the Olden Valley up to the Briksdal glacier was the highlight of our Nordic Cruise. Andreas, our tour guide, was "The Best". He was personable and knowledgeable providing most interesting insights into the history, culture, and environment of the region. The fjord scenery with the mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and glaciers is truly magnificent. This tour is a "must not miss" for anyone visiting the Nordfjordeid area.
The tour was extremely well organized and executed.

Andreas was amazing. He was waiting for us when we got off of the ship in Olden and we were on our way. It was great having someone that knew the area and how to navigate efficiently. We arrived at the Troll cars before anyone else and arrived at the glacier before the crowds. We spent about 45 minutes at the glacier. He is very knowledgeable on the history and the geology about the glacier. After the glacier visit he drove us to Loen and took us to the Skylyft. We spent some time on top of the mountain and took in the views. Andreas had a picnic lunch for us which included beer, sodas, water, local cheeses, crackers, different local sausages and some sweets. We drove around Loen before returning to our ship. I would definitely use Andreas again and highly recommend his services.

Easy booking process and great follow up with detailed instructions.
I thought there was more to the Atlantic Ocean highway and that it was a bit longer. Town was beautiful and picturesque. The hike down from the Varden lookout was fun and challenging.
Andreas deserves a 5! He was very attentive, personable, knew the history and accommodating. He provided a tailgate picnic of traditional Norway foods that made it memorable.

Even with the very rainy and wet conditions we had an amazing day! It was our entire group's favorite port and that was in large part due to the our wonderful guide. Eric was wonderful and we especially enjoyed the local foods he set up for us to snack on after our troll car ride. Thanks for a great day in Olden! :)
This was the only tour we found that included both the troll car ride to the Briksdal glacier and the Loen skylift and both are absolute must-dos while in Olden. We had a fabulous day, even with the uncooperative weather. ;)
