Beautiful boat ride! - The movie at the museum was spectacular! Don’t miss it! Boat captain shared factual information along the way that was very interesting. Website is poorly maintained: There is inaccurate info about where to meet to start the tour. Time to depart was wrong. Map was a joke. Tour guide, Kristopher, was unprofessional (i.e., he frequently used foul language which is insulting and inappropriate). Foul language is fine with your friends, but not around families with children and strangers. Example: he told us not to order food at the museum because they are, “Slower than f*ck”. He needs to stick to a script.

Eventful full day fjord and glacier tour. - This full day fjord and cruise trip brings us via minibus to the Storesvingen viewpoint to see the Vik village from top, follows by a visit to famous Hopperstad stave church with interior guided tour. Then cruise through the fjord via a small sightseeing boat for around 2h. Subsequently there is a bus just beside the boat at the pier which brings us to the Norwegian glacier museum. There we enjoyed a panoramic video of the glacier. After a while, the bus will bring us to an area to see the Boyabreen glacier close up with some time for photo opportunity. After that we went back via the same way until we reached Vik where we were then transported via the minibus to Twindefossen waterfall for a photostop before going back to Bergen. Very nice sceneries throughout the entire journey. Toilets stop are available frequently, in Voss bus station, stave church, on board the cruise, glacier museum etc. Worth the money for the whole experience! Strongly recommend this tour!
