English-speaking guides such as Geir, Thomas, Tom, and Stig lead the road portion, then help you manage the independent train connections.

“It was a great and fun day, blessed with beautiful weather and a clear blue sky. The Viking Village felt more like a tourist consumption experience; to be honest, I was expecting something much more authentic, but had fun with a couple activities, archery and axe throwing. The Nærøyfjord cruise, however, was simply magnificent, clear, calm waters with breathtaking views wherever you looked. Then the magical journey began through the mountains Myrdal, as we ventured deep into a white, snowy, picturesque landscape. Special thanks to our guide, Bjarte, for his exceptional guiding throughout the tour.”

“Despite the inclement weather we had an awsome time on this tour. The crew fitted us with Infrared electric heating jackets run by a powerbank and on top of that a full covering thermal suit. It was like being in my own personal sauna and I actually had to turn the heat a notch down and we were initially so afraid to freeze. The fjords we ventured were completely of the tourst radar and we saw no other tourists while out there at all. Only a local fisher man that showed us the Langoustines he got in his traps. Words and pictures cant describe the tour well enough and the…”

“A bit confusing. Original info did not match info we received on what’s app. We talked to two bus drivers and they did not have our name. Then talked to cruise boat and they did not know our info, but let us on. Thought it was a 5 hr cruise and train ride back. But whatsapp info had 4 Google drive documents that were our tickets to a 30 minute bus ride to train station for train ride to Voss. Then a 1 hour 15 min bus ride from Voss to Gudvaugen. Then a 2 hour cruise to Nærøyfjord. From there to Flåm. We got on a cruise to Flåm.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · from $538

You will receive PDF transport tickets and follow the detailed itinerary without a guide. The journey includes dramatic fjord views, mountain rail travel, and time in Flåm, but no return ticket to Bergen.

“This was a very easy well organized self-guided tour that showcases the amazing Sognefjord and Flåm. Bus journey includes a phot stop at the top of the valley that leads to to Sognefjord. The electric Fjord ship was just fabulous but if you need a seat and want to be outdoors make for the back of the second deck and sit on the black deck boxes. We choose and extended stop in Flåm and we found that to be painful as you are trapped in a tourist shopping town with few decent food options. The train museum was worthwhile and that’s it. We waited to have lunch and that was…”
