“Thomas was a fantastic tour guide! He gave us loads of information about the area and Norwegian culture, and was super down to earth and fun to chat with! I am pretty sensitive to motion sickness in the car and the roads are very winding, but Thomas’ driving was very smooth and I did ok on the drive. The best thing about this tour is its uniqueness. It’s the only tour from Bergen that included a little bit of everything - stops to waterfalls, a choice between a sider farm or norheimsund, various scenic stops along Hardangerfjord, and a stop at the town of Odda for some waffles and coffee!…”
