Indescribable - An experience to do once in your life. Small group guided tour. Tasting of local products (king crab, reindeer sausage, smoked salmon).

A must do - The tour was much cheaper than the ones being offered on the cruise ship I arrived in Honningsvåg on. The driver was informative and gave us lots of information on the way up. The stop at the Sami village was interesting too.

A day at the head of Europe. - Exciting and very refreshing experience!! The museum is interesting with the history of the first explorations and a beautiful panorama between mountains and sea. The excursion with Jenny from viator was excellent.

North Cape Experience - On our way up our driver was excellent, great spotting of wildlife for us, and loved the narration. On the way back our driver said nothing and the speaker system was not working and we could not hear the narration in the rear of the bus. Would have liked to have an extra hour at the cape, we were unable to see the video as we had to leave.

Stressful tour because lack of communication with local provider. - Sami Families Tour is just a gift shop.
Had problems with local provider. Couldn't download tickets, called them multiple times nobody picked up the phone. Tourist information staff tried to help. But in the end we were running from bus to bus checking if they had our names on their list. Very stressful.

Must see the North Cape!! - Loved seeing reindeer as we drove to the North Cape. No one should miss The North Cape if they are in this part of Norway!!
The excursion team seemed a bit disorganized, we wound up having three different bus drivers over the course of the journey. Perhaps just early season ironing out.
All in all, I’d recommend!!

Great and Challenging - The driver was excellent, informative, and engaging. The North Cape experience was great. Their 3 D movie and light show was superb. The only place you fell short was booking and follow. When I booked it was for 9 AM I got there and was not on the manifest. I paid for the tour again on the bus. At the return they found my original manifest on the 11,15 tour so they refunded my money.

Good excusion but awful bus management - Really enjoyed the tour. The North Cape was a fantastic place to visit
. The issue was time management by the bus drivers.
The bus up was not in the parking lot at the departure time. We left 17 minutes late. Our driver didn’t announce the return time in fact I didn’t hear him speak. He relied on the automated commentary. It was nicely done, but the volume was low.
The major issue was the return. The meet up time was 2:30. Again the bus was late! We didn’t leave until 3:00 and our onboard time was 4:30. Our driver changed before leaving and was changed again in transit. The trip down included three stops. Just as we approached the bus stop shortly after 4, the driver continued to drive through Honningsvåg. When he stopped by the park by the church, he asked if anyone wants to get out. You can hear everyone say, we need to get back to bus stop. Got back to our stateroom at 4:30
