Awesome! Highly recommend. - Aleks was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable, charismatic and fun. If we ever come back, we will ask for him to be our guide again (assuming that's possible!) The trip itself is long (full day) but absolutely beautiful and breath taking. Protip: consider eating on the boat because places to stop are few.

Do it if you can! - Amazing day touring the countryside of Norway!!! Private van service to Voss, train to Flåm, 2 hour cruise of the fjords and private drive home. Our tour guide Sergei was punctual and we enjoyed his commentary on the drive to and from our destinations. He was so polite and kept us on task. Very organized and loved the special waterfalls he showed us on the way back!

Good trip/Great guide(Ivan) - Ivan was our guide and he made the trip a 5star excursion. Book this excursion but be careful on Geirangerfjord private excursion(taxi driver as guide).

Amazing sites - This tour was amazing. Just realize that you do have a driver that will pick you up, but will drop you off at the different venues then pick you up when you reach your different destination's.

This is a beautiful place to visit but November isn’t ideal. - Five stars if you take this trip in the Spring or Summer. Our guide Ivan was friendly, informative and well-organized. This tour involves him driving us from Bergen to Voss and putting us on a train while he drives to meet us later. It’s no big deal to take a train to Myrdal then cross the tracks for the famous scenic train to Flam. We just didn’t realize we were on our own for that leg . At Flam he puts us on the two hour fjord cruise and meets us at the end to drive a couple hours back. Plenty of time in the car and at lunch to learn from the guide, but a good part of the day - the train and boat - you are on your own. We enjoyed it except that with the early sunset in Nov the last hour in the fjord was dark. It rained incessantly for the week which is now apparently par for the course in Western Norway so come prepared. We came in Nov because it was our only time off. The tour was a highlight of our trip but we recommend a better time of the year.

Disappointment - Flam railway and the natural beauty of the Fjords. Our guide was a wonderful person but all he did was drive us. He's not from the area and thus wasn't able to be a knowledgeable guide. We spent $1700(!) But could have done better by doing it on our own!

This tour is not private - Nothing about this tour was private except the car ride. We were given little information before the tour about the details and ended up in the car for 5 hours, on a train, and on a packed ferry in the fjords. At this price point, we were expecting at least a private boat ride in the fjords. The driver was kind but overall a frustrating experience. I will be contacting the tour operators for a refund.
