A great experience - I booked a private tour and transfer, in January, for our Kystruten Kirkenes-Bergen trip in June. Very helpful, and easy to arrange. Our flight from Oslo arrived early morning, and... read more we were met by Greg who provided a tour of the region just for us, and then dropped us off at the hotel with our luggage. Informative and very interesting tour covering the history, places, and life in the area. Nicely paced and exactly what we wanted. Much to remember but the boarder with Russia was a highlight for us, and we enjoyed learning about what it is like to live there. Recommendations for dinner, and we were collected and transferred to the ferry dock the following morning.

  A wonderful day in Kirkenes  - We booked a package with Booking Kirkenes. It included pickup at the cruise port or airport, Russian border tour, king crab excursion, visit to the snow hotel, husky pups and... read more dogs and reindeer. It also included dinner, breakfast, a night in one of the chalets and transportation back to either the airport or cruise terminal.
It was quite pricey but it included everything we wanted to do in Kirkenes. We were disembarking from a Havilla cruise and wanted to spend the night in Kirkenes.
The only snafu was our fault. They were really good at informing us what would happen, reminding us several days ahead and let us know someone would meet us at the port at 9:45. We disembarked at 9:20 or so and looked for someone. Anyways they did exactly as they said they would but we didn’t wait. It’s a long story but we ended up in the right place and had a wonderful day. I really wasn’t interested in the Russian border but it was a terrific, very informative tour, with a lot more to it than just seeing the border. The king crab excursion was awesome. Boat ride to the traps, great stories and history of the area and a fabulous meal of crab. We ate until we could barely move. We checked into the chalet and it was lovely. A walk to see the pups, dogs and reindeer helped settle all that food. The snow hotel is amazing but too cold for me to sleep there. We had to eat dinner in only a few hours but it was so delicious that we forced ourselves. They packed dessert for us to take back to the chalet. We had met our match.
The breakfast next morning was excellent and they picked up,our luggage and us and drove us to the airport. The whole experience was wonderful. It was a very expensive 24 hours but we will never forget the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
