Guided Viking Village, Nærøyfjord cruise and Flåm Railway from Bergen. Trains, waterfalls and UNESCO fjords, all transport included.

“This experience provided exposure to Norway’s diverse beauty in the area northeast of Bergen, through an array of transport: motor coach (narrated tour as we passed through tunnels, and by villages, lakes, streams), walking (through Viking Village with an interesting presentation of the Viking life!), electric boat (Fjords!!), and two types of trains (waterfalls, villages, mountains and streams). Long day (10 hours) but truly felt comfortable with the idea of a return to further explore and relax in these beautiful areas.”

More importantly, my friend left her belongings in the car when we were dropped off at Viking Village. She only realised it when we on board the vessel. A message was sent to Geir and he immediately confirmed that the items were with him. He then made arrangements to deliver them to our hotel on the following day.”

“Nice experience, but not enough detailed information from Easy Travel. Our guide, Ray, was Great. He did everything that an awesome Tour guide would do. He explained the Norwegian culture, took us on an extra hike to a waterfall , and made our adventure memorable. The Fjords were breathtaking. So beautiful and eye opening. Unfortunately, Easy Travel could have given us more information concerning the train. We had rear facing seats on our train from Geilo to Myrdal. We did not appreciate Easy Travel not giving the option of our seating assignments. We also had incomplete information of the Flam train’s direction of reverse direction and us facing backwards again.…”

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

Self-guided Oslo to Bergen day trip with the Flåm Railway, Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord cruise, bus to Voss, then rail to Bergen.

“Unfortunately, the boat from Flåm to Gudwangen was cancelled due to technical difficulties (beyond anyone’s control), but Viator was quick to reach out with alternate travel plans and happy to refund those legs of the journey I had to forego. As I was traveling alone, I was lucky enough to hop on a different boat and enjoy my time on the fjord. I was determined to not miss out on this once in a lifetime adventure and I’m so glad I did not. Absolutely breathtaking! Part of traveling is going with the flow. Thank you, Viator, for being so accommodating.”
