“This was a wonderful, well-organized day. I am so impressed with how well it was planned and how our guide, Michael, and driver, Linda, cheerfully and skillfully let us through it. Michael is an awesome guide - funny, warm, informative, and attentive to the scheduling. The morning drive passed by stunning scenery. The Viking Village was amazing - it truly put you in the footsteps of 1,300 years ago. The fjord tour was terrific - the boat was great with plenty of room for all despite being quite full and the views were breathtaking. The trainride from Flam was again beautiful and had a funny surprise! Pay attention to Michael’s…”

“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.…”

“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…”
