Atlantic Road optional Tour

[grandmadarlene]

Here is your review:

We actually took this journey once before in October 2013. Obviously we loved it or we would not have returned. Wanted to see all the extraordinary scenery ... this time with some snow on the mountains. We traveled with "Vantage" on both occasions and found their offer to be the best deal around for this journey. However the Optional tour to see the "Atlantic Road" was a huge disappointment. The description was misleading. It was $158 off the MS Richard With on May 24, 2015. While other excursions have been fine and some really good (i.e RIB safari to Saltstraumen), this Atlantic road was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. One hour for a PORTUGUESE Dinner, 1 hour for a visit to a Stave Church...Really!!!!! Have been to Norway 3 times and have seen many Stave Churches. I WANTED to see the Atlantic Road!! We were given FIFTEEN minutes at the one stop on the Atlantic Road and that INCLUDED lining up for the bathroom. Thankfully, I was not in need of the bathroom but given 15 minutes is a crime. I needed at least an hour to walk around and up the hill next to the stop. You could blame the driver and guide, but the other bus (Norse and German speaking) made the same 15 minute stop. So this must have been the plan from the start. If you want to see the Atlantic Road, you will have to do it on your own.
