3.Viking Village, Nærøyfjorden Cruise and Flåm Railway

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 155 reviews · 12 hours · from $435

This 12-hour Bergen tour combines a Mercedes minibus ride, Tvindefossen waterfall, Njardarheimr Viking Village, a two-hour electric cruise through Nærøyfjorden, and the Flåm Railway back to Bergen. 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.”

We stop at Circle K for gas-food- bathroom break. Alekss was a superb driver and we were confident to get to all our stops on time. We did not have to worry about our getting tickets for the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 69 reviews · from $454

You receive tickets and instructions, but must manage every connection yourself. Pack light, start early, and expect a full day.

“The views were awesome but our first train was delayed due to bad rail road conditions and it delayed everything else. I reached out to Easy Travel and they said we will miss the bus cause everything is booked so closely together. They said we should take a cab for a 2 hour drive! I asked other travelers that booked with other companies and they said their company assured them that the boat and the bus will wait. We decided to risk it and follow the other travelers which I’m glad we did or we would have missed out on the beautiful boat ride.”

12.Full Day Guided Roundtrip From Bergen To Sognefjord With Flam Railway

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $969

Hotel pickup, reserved transport, and help with the day’s connections are included. Guides such as Emma, Federico, Sveta, and Anika have earned strong praise, though the high price demands careful thought.

“We had a fabulous experience on this tour with Federico as our guide. Federico was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful guiding us through the various aspects of transportation. Because ground transportation was by car and this was not a large group, we were able to get to a couple of locations the buses don't get to. The fjords, valleys, and waterfalls were breathtaking. If we are able to make it back to Bergen, we will ask that Federico be our guide again, if possible.”
