About the company

We are based in Skien (Norway) and are a tour operator whose vision is to organize exciting trips with focus on culture, activity, joy of life and nature experiences. We are truly committed to our tours and our concept is group tours by bike, as well as cycling and hiking tours. We also tailor and organize individual tours for groups of friends and companies. Since the company was founded in 2001, the number of destinations, employees, partners and guides has steadily increased in line with the growing number of customers. Today, we have four enthusiastic employees, and Helge is Oliven Reiser's founder and works mainly with business development and quality assurance of our tours. Our focus is primarily on cycling holidays in several European destinations such as; Italy, Spain, France, England, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Czech Republic and Hungary. In addition, we offer exciting overseas cycling trips in Vietnam and Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Japan, Morocco, Brazil, Chile and India.

What is the Oliven Experience?

With us, you can travel in a group, whether you want to meet new people on one of our group tours, or with a group of friends who want a special and active vacation. You can also travel on your own, with the people you love - such as a couple of good friends, a group of girls or boys. There is a lot of possibilities. We specialize in cycling and hiking tours for everyone, with something extra and 24 years of experience. Travel with or without a guide, we'll help you either way. The choice is yours. It is very important for us to always include and collaborate with local partners and enthusiasts. These are the people who know what should be experienced where you are, who can share traditions, and who always work in the best interests of our travelers. We might take our clients to somewhere they would not have found on their own. When exploring our chosen destinations, we are committed to traveling in a sustainable and responsible way. Our small group tours help reduce environmental impact and provide a more intimate experience. We also support local businesses, contribute to community initiatives and encourage our guests to leave only their own footprint.

The Oliven experience is a journey of the heart and senses.
