Curious about Norway? 

Heddal Stave Church

 

Have you ever wondered about the homeland of farmers turned pillagers – where powerful waterfalls cascade into a frenzy of simmering pools, glaciers rumble with stories of the past and medieval stave churches stand tall, whispering with voices of the old gods. 

Sagas that were once shared around village campfires have transformed into legend. Myths featuring mammoth trolls, kings so powerful they were rumoured to be gods and landscapes crafted from other worlds.  

You could become a part of it all – when you journey with Back-Roads Touring on a small-group tour crafted for the curious.

Norway: Fjords & Glaciers

 

Our 8-day adventure of Norway encourages you to explore your curiosity – on a journey that slows the pace, allowing you time to sink into a moment, a place, or a feeling that only Norway can provide.  

With a maximum number of 18 guests per tour, those spontaneous “can we stop here?” moments are easier to navigate. Plus, you’ll travel via luxury minicoach, allowing you to venture through small towns and Nordic villages filled with the scent of homecooked pastries and warm bread. In comparison, a 52-seater coach would only allow a glance at these places, resulting in a holiday that skims the surface. Ask yourself: is that a travel experience you wish to have? 

Another way our expertly crafted small-group tours dig deeper into discovery? Each adventure is led by an expert Tour Leader who leans into the curious nature of a traveller – sharing deep insights and local recommendations with every guest they meet.
