One of its arms, Nærøyfjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is the 12th-century Urnes Stave Church near Lustrafjorden, an excellent example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture.

We took this gorgeous tour even without any info, but it was the best part of our trip! Well-Organised, fast and comfortable. Every point was perfectly organised with the help of guide, who told us facts about sights all the way, he pointed the best views for making photos, this is very important for me as tourist. All transport tickets were sent to us, we didn't have any problems. Next time in Bergen we obviously would take these tours. Recommend! Recommend! Recommend!

I have visited Norway just before the start of pandemic Covid-19 spreading. Unfortunaly, I didn' t have during my stay in Norway any walking tours in one of the most popular Norwegian historical cities - Bergen. Suddenly I discovered that one of Bergen tourist agencies suggests virtual online walking tours. It was so nice. International tourism is almost died now. Live online tour was a discovery for me. I was sitting with my smartphone at home enjoying stories of my local guide Ole, who was doing the real tour for me in the center of old Bergen passing with his camera medieval quarters. Tour was shorter than standard real tours. For me 1 hour was enough both for getting historical information and for the shopping at the end of the tour. My trophy became 3 magnets, a cup and 10 cans of blue berry in capsules that help to encrease immune system. Ole sent me them with DHL. My recommendations!

Unforgettable experience! recommend it to everyone. Our guide (Frode) is a very friendly man with great knowledge of Viking and Norwegian history. Our guide always reassured us by saying exactly what would happen during the course. Also, we always left the luggage inside the car of our guide (so we didn't need care about it). All the times that we did the train ride, and arrived in a train station, our guide was there waiting for us. He always reported us what would happen in the next track and when arrived again at the end of this course, he was there waiting again. Always at the exact time marked. Almost at the end of our tour, the weather was changing rapidly and so as not to risk being stopped at the train station for 5 hours, our guide drove 400 km with his own car to our hotel in Oslo. making a great effort to always make us comfortable. in summary: I recommend 100% for everyone. perfect trip with the perfect guide.

Would thoroughly recommend this tour. We were trying to decide between this one and Norway in a nutshell but we’re relieved we chose this one. The waterfall absolutely was beautiful and the viewpoint shouldn’t be missed! The fjord cruise was absolutely amazing, it’s environmentally friendly and so so quiet, you glide across the water. The van was very comfortable and the driver very knowledgeable. We definitely recommended this to anyone visiting southern Norway - highlight of our trip. Also there’s usb charging on the boat and van.
