Testimonials

We are back from our wonderful trip and all thanks to you both (Mercury). Planning and bookings were well done as expected. Your set itinerary made the best use of our time. The hotels and tours were very comfortable, especially with kids. Even with compressed timelines, we thought that we saw the best of both countries. We had an issue with day 1 Tour guide and it was taken care the next day.

As always, Mercury Travel has delivered a truly wonderful travel experience for us. Norway was a great travel destination. The parts of the country we visited were beautiful, people were friendly, everything we ate was delicious, and there were many fun things to see and do. The hotels we stayed at in Oslo, Svolvar and Tromso were all great and each excursion we took was memorable and fun.

I would like to take this opportunity to convey our thanks to you for making our holiday experience in Norway & Netherlands a truly memorable one. The hotels, pickups, tour sights , guides & other arrangements made by Mercury team were superb & very well executed. We were lucky to see the Northern Lights 3 times - thanks to cloud breaks. The Snowdrome & sledge ride was a grand experience.
