Magnetic North Travel Reviews 

Magnetic North are efficient in every aspect from beginning to end, very knowledgeable and are always willing to listen to customer advise, queries etc.

Magnetic North Travel (MNT) provided outstanding commitment to my needs as client from the time of my first contact till the end of the trip and after. I provided MNT with an outline of the tours I wanted to do and my agent did absolutely everything else. She took my many changes of mind in her stride, researched them and then came back to me very quickly with brilliant solutions / suggestions. She then put the 3 tours (Finland, Arctic Coast Norway and Lofoten Islands Norway) together with stays at a bunch of other destinations into a very useful App which I could use offline. In addition to having all of my many tickets, vouchers etc, maps and the day by day details, the App included all of the detailed cycling routes together with tailor-made suggestions for side adventures such as hikes, alternative cycling destinations, beaches, museums, galleries etc. My agent also set up a WhatsApp group so I could post updates / photos / etc as the trip progressed. She responded very promptly to any post I made which gave me a strong feeling that assistance would be available quickly if I needed it. As it turned out, the trip progressed like clockwork and no assistance was needed.
All in all, this was an awesome trip of a lifetime thanks in no small part to the awesome agents at MNT .... and incredibly good luck with the weather.

Had a great time. Group of 4 cycling the Archipelago trail in Finland. Wonderful scenery. Great food. Very good accommodation. Perfect itinerary. The MN app is amazing. Good communication. Everything went well. We will use this company again.

We had a great time.

The islands were lovely. And accommodations were very good.

A suggestion would be to arrange the first and last day with less time on the highway.

Maybe start and end at different towns????

I was recommended Magnetic North by a friend when I was planning a trip to Norway for my elderly mother and myself. I wasn’t disappointed with the service I got! I explained what we had in mind and Annie put together an itinerary which was great. It included hotels, 4 night Havila cruise, transfers and flights. Everything went extremely smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely use MNT again and recommend it to others.

Communications were excellent
App was particularly well set out and very easy to follow.Best I’ve ever used and have done several European Cycle trips with different companies .
Hotel accomodation was faultless for star level
Locations very pretty
E bikes good
Annie truly listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly
Will definitely use Annie from magnetic north travel again !!

Our trip to the Faroe Islands was our second holiday with Magnetic North and as with the first everything was perfect, great itinerary and excellent trips and advise. The App is particularly helpful and an organised WhatsApp group ensured we were in constant contact in case anything went wrong. We travel a lot and I cannot rate Magnetic North high enough.

We had a terrific experience planning a trip with Annie and the Magnetic North team to Iceland, Sweden and Norway. I had a million questions, which Annie patiently worked through, and crafted an itinerary that worked really well for our family of four (including two active teenage boys). The biggest challenge for me with travel is often figuring out where to splurge and where to save. It’s easy enough to plan something on your own when you are either trying to get the cheapest deal or money is no object. What I find far harder is deciding what experiences or hotels are worth spending more on vs. saving. This trip ticked all the boxes- for example, arranged private hotel transfers and private guides for hiking, but no need for a private guide to see a city like Upsala- just took the train from Stockholm and wandered a bit.

The Swedish biking along the archipelago was absolutely great- and organized through a local touring company. Even though the weather didn’t perfectly cooperate (with rain on many of the days)- we still had a great time and really got a flavor of the countryside.

The Magnetic North app is brilliant. Easy to see what is on plan each day, with all tickets etc attached.

Every transfer etc went very well- never had an issue finding our driver or guide at the airport or hotel and the hotels were always well situated and lovely. The only issue we had on the entire trip- the room in Oslo didn’t have sufficiently sized beds for our teenagers- was handled immediately and effortlessly through a What’s App message. Even though it was late evening, Annie handled it immediately, and found another additional room that made everything work. That issue alone made using this travel company worth it. I don’t want to spend my vacation time arguing with a hotel clerk regarding a room. We simply had a drink at the bar, and it was resolved within 30 minutes.

I have already recommended MN to a number of friends, and would absolutely use them for a future trip.

Annie put together a fantastic itinerary for us and everything went smoothly.

The team at Magnetic North travel put together a wonderful holiday package for us to Northern Norway, Lofoten Islands and Svalbard. The team worked closely with me to tailor the trip to meet our needs. The included accommodation and tours were of high quality, the App was very helpful and the itinerary was seamless. Thank you Laura for the support you provided to us on the trip and for going above and beyond to help us with some travel issues out of the control of Magnetic North. Thanks for everything, we will recommend you to our friends!

The whole trip was wonderful, so well planned and organised. Laura and her team were so knowledgeable and helpful. We had the most fabulous holiday, so much fun. I cannot recommend Magnetic Travel highly enough. Many thanks

The whole trip was perfectly orchestrated and fulfilled all of my expectations. When I had a question a response can very quickly regardless of time. If you are going to Norway, using them is a MUST!

Great arrangements and choices for accommodation and trips. Excellent app for the trip with speedy updates including flight info. They were very quick to help in real time when one of our flights was cancelled.
Highly recommend.

Laura was great throughout. Great accommodations. Good directions. A pleasant experience overall.

We had a great time in Norway, doing a self-drive from Bodo, to the Lofoten islands, up to Vesteralan, Senja, Tromso and onwards to Kirkenes. We had to postpone the trip previously due to the pandemic but Laura and team were very helpful to re-schedule and made things happen for us this year. Accommodation options were awesome (each place had its own charm and provided a mix of self-catering to half-board) and their proposal for sight-seeing options were mostly enjoyable. Laura also made herself available during our trip to assist on some queries which we were appreciative of. We encountered very small hiccups which was overshadowed by majority of everything else that went spectacularly well - an overall unforgettable experience in the midnight sun. Thank you very much!

Our trip to Lofoten and Vesteralen was well planned, all flights and hotels worked well. The car (from Sixt) was a bit of a bone of contention, but we managed.

Well organised itinerary and helpful throughout the travel. The app was amazing and made the day very easy to follow. Magnetic North has the best contacts for experiences and well chosen hotels .

Thanks to Magnetic North we had an amazing holiday in Norway, skiing, kayaking, hiking and a wilderness spa. Attention to detail and local knowledge meant we had experiences we would never have had otherwise. Perfect for adults or families. We couldn’t recommend highly enough.

The trip was very well planned. The app well laid out and easily navigable. Lots of helpful information there. Laura was always available to answer questions and advise when we called an audible. She was helpful and responsive all the way through.

Helpful travel agent provided exactly the off-grid holiday I was after. Easy car hire, a variety of luxury and affordable accommodation. Excursions were perfect as a solo traveler. Zero complaints. All excellent. If you’re after a bespoke Nordic holiday, this THE company to speak to.
