It’s worth noting that this is a rough program, and it can be adjusted to adapt to the specific needs and interests of the target customer. Also, it’s important to note that the tour organizer, the Norwegian Cultural Center, will be responsible for arranging and reserving the activities and accommodation, and providing the tour guide.
