The world is full of remarkable stories — let’s go and discover them together. Nordiva Tours was founded in 2014 by Tamara and Ilana, two passionate explorers with a deep love for history, classical music, and the art of travel. With backgrounds steeped in culture and an appreciation for the stories that shape our world, we set out to create something beyond the ordinary: journeys that don’t just take you places but truly connect you to them. For us, travel is more than just moving from one destination to another. It’s about immersing yourself in the rhythm of a city, uncovering the echoes of the past, and experiencing the little moments that turn a trip into a lifelong memory. Whether it’s an exclusive concert in a historic hall, a stroll through centuries-old streets, or a bespoke itinerary tailored just for you, we craft every journey with thoughtfulness, creativity, and a passion for the extraordinary. Driven by the shared passion, our team has grown thoughtfully over the years. Kostia, with his keen eye for detail, joined us to curate unique activities and uncover the practical aspects of Northern European travel, inviting travellers to embrace the region’s unique narratives. Marija, a guide with a deep understanding of local lore, complements our expertise, revealing the enchanting secrets that lie off the beaten path. Each member of our team shares a commitment to crafting journeys that resonate with authenticity and discovery. What we do We live and breathe Northern Europe, constantly uncovering its hidden gems and timeless wonders. When you travel with us, you don’t just visit — you experience. Our carefully curated journeys go beyond the expected, bringing you closer to the people, traditions, and history that make this region so extraordinary. Forget rigid itineraries and tourist-packed sights. We craft immersive experiences for travellers who seek something deeper — an authentic connection to the heart and soul of a place. Imagine stepping into a composer’s home in Bergen, tracing Viking legends along Norway’s majestic fjords, or savouring a quiet moment in a tucked-away Nordic café. Every journey with Nordiva is designed to feel personal, meaningful, and entirely unique. Because the best travel isn’t just about seeing the world — it’s about experiencing it in a way that transforms you. With Nordiva, you’ll discover Northern Europe in an entirely new light. Why we do it Now more than ever, we believe travel is essential — not just for the thrill of discovery, but for the connections it creates. In a world that can sometimes feel divided, stepping into new cultures, meeting different people, and hearing untold stories are powerful ways to build understanding and empathy. At Nordiva, we don’t just plan trips; we create opportunities for meaningful encounters. Whether it’s visiting a family-run farm, listening to history come alive through a passionate local guide, or simply seeing the world from a new perspective, we believe travel has the power to shift how we see ourselves and each other.

Trondheim, Norway. Read more. Testimonials From our happy travellers From the very beginning and throughout our trip, our travel agent was such a pleasure to work with. The trip she planned was even better than we expected and her availability and check in during our trip were exceptional. We would highly recommend working with her for your travel to Scandinavia. Lisa T. Our experience with Tamara was outstanding. I’m not exaggerating when I say we couldn’t have done the trip without her. The day before we arrived, Norway experienced a huge storm that derailed a train that was necessary for our itinerary (The train from Oslo to Myrdal, on our way to Flam). Tamara worked incredibly hard to get us a private driver for a portion of that train ride. She stayed in contact with us via WhatsApp throughout our stay and managed several last-minute meal and itinerary changes. Erika D. I recently had the pleasure of working with Nordiva’s travel agent to plan my dream vacation, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received. From the moment I contacted them to the conclusion of my trip, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for travel. From the outset, they took the time to understand my preferences, interests, and budget constraints. They patiently listened to my ideas and provided invaluable insights and suggestions to enhance my itinerary. Lauren R. Our travel agent did a great job of incorporating my extensive requests into a wonderful one-week tour for us in Norway. She gave us savvy suggestions for seamlessly putting together a rather packed tour of sites to enjoy. We flew in after a week in Iceland and traveled from Oslo to Bergen to Ålesund, with multiple excursions in between. There were a couple of unexpected problems, such as an overnight fjord cruise getting canceled just over one day before we were supposed to board, but she rapidly readjusted our itinerary to keep us smoothly seeing all the sites as planned.
