Amazing! - Loved this trip! I was a bit worried about this being my first solo trip but I shouldn’t have worried at all. There were other solo travellers on the trip too and everyone was so friendly. The tour guide, Bas, was also really friendly, had a lot of interesting knowledge and was more than happy to take a few photos for me! You know you’ve gone to a beautiful place when the tour guide is still impressed by the views! The scenery was amazing and just breathtaking. The hike was not too strenuous and really beautiful. I could have looked at the glacier lake all day! Seeing some snow while we were driving was a bonus too. The mini bus was comfortable and we made plenty of stops throughout the day. The only thing I’d say is there wasn’t many food options so make sure you bring lunch. I’m so glad I went on this trip and would definitely recommend. Thanks for an amazing day!

Great Experience - 10/10 Tour while in Bergen - the whole experience was so worth it! the organization and coordination was seamless and easy. the stops on the way to the hike were so much fun and absolutely stunning. folgefonna park is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and we had plenty of time to hike around and explore independently. our guide throughout the day, Bas, was wonderful, informative, and very funny. He was able to show us an incredible amount of Norway while always keeping us on time, entertained and engaged, and excited for the next part of the tour. 10/10 recommend signing up for this tour with Bas!

Tour to Nacional Park Folgefonna with Velkommen Norway - Fantastic day tour out of Bergen in the national park Folgefonna. The nature is just beautiful and mystical, you really feel like you are in the land of trolls. And the tour guide, Bas, is just excellent, funny and full of knowledge. He was explaining everything and plus telling us little stories about trolls. So cute! You could see that he loves what he's doing! I would recommend this tour and, of course, Bas!

Fabulous trip to Folgefonna, waterfalls, snow and the brilliant guide Bas - I was visiting my daughter who is studying in Bergen for a year and we did this trip to see a bit more of Western Norway. I can only say that it was absolutely awesome. We started in a rainy Bergen and made our way to the Steindalfossen waterfall that you can actually stand behind. Because it had been raining for a couple of days, the waterfall was really powerful and it was something we were looking forward to and really enjoyed. On the way there, our brilliant guide Bas was telling us stories about the landscape, Norwegian culture and pointing out things that we would maybe not have noticed like the fish farms and the Hydro power waterfalls. The landscape was beautiful and on the way there we were thrilled to drive into a snow storm up high and Bas explained that this was the first snow of the year. Next we went on to the ferry that crosses the Hardanger Fjord. The rain had stopped and we were treated to views of snowy mountains and quaint little villages along the shore. This took about twenty minutes and after we were soon on the way to Folgefonna. This is a national park that is nestled between some very large (and on our day, snowy mountains. We hiked up to the glacier lake and were lucky that the rain had stopped and the visibility was good. This was a relatively easy hike, always uphill but never too steep and on a decent surface of compacted stones and gravel. It would have taken us 40 minutes but we stopped so many times to take photos as every corner we turned there was a picture postcard view that we had to capture. I think I nearly filled up my phone storage. Upon arriving at he glacier lake, we were treated to a beautiful emerald green lake surrounded by snowy mountains. It was truly stunning and the highlight of our trip. We had about an hour or so to take photos and eat lunch that we had brought and then began to make our way downhill again to the bus where we were a bit early so we carried on a bit to get some stunning pics of the fjord below us and some of the gushing rapids. Next up, we travelled back on the ferry via a different route where we were surrounded by the snowy mountain ranges. On the trip back to Bergen we had a couple of unexpected photo stops. One at a really beautiful waterfall and one at a huge suspension bridge that goes to an Island where Bas explained that there had been a sighting of one (and only one) Moose ! We got back to Bergen at around 7pm....a 10 hour day filled with the most amazing views I have ever seen. However, what made this a very special tour was our guide Bas. For the whole time we were travelling, he told us so many stories of Norwegian life, history, politics and the physical attributes of the majestic landscape we travelled through. We had some Christmas music when we were driving through the snow storm and some Edvard Greig music on the way back (he was a Bergen resident). We even got to learn about the story of Pier Gynt and the Halls of the Mountain King. Bas was a legend and also took photos of myself and my daughter at various photo spots so we didn't have to mess about trying to do selfies....and special shout out to Rolf our driver who kept us safe and on time through the whole day. This was a very memorable trip and I highly recommend it and can't speak highly enough about it. Thank you Bas and Rolf.

Bas made it very interesting with the different stories and facts about the places that we saw. He brought in so much of culture and stories of the local life which was great. The whole trip was well planned and executed. Thanks Bas and team!

Beautiful lake and guided tour - Really good trip! The scenery and the hike are beautiful. Bas was the guide and made the experience great! We stopped at multiple places for sightseeing before the main hike. During the bus trip, Bas was giving info and telling stories along the way, which made the traveling fun as well. Really recommend!

Value for money and an amazing experience!! - There was a good level of activity balanced with travel for a 10hr trip. The tour guide Bas was very informative and humorous and made it easy to chat to him and approach if there were any issues. It may have been better to structure the day with something more to do after the national park, rather than before. It was definitely worth the cost and time and a magical experience!
