I have never taken so many photos in just one day. This is the second time I have done this trip and it is simply fantastic. All done using interconnecting public transport it runs like clockwork. The ferry trip down the fjords is a highlight for me. The scale of the mountains and the fjords, just leaves me spellbound. It... More

Obviously, if you are going to Norway, then you have to do this. Great views and a fun relaxing journey. I went at end of April and it was awesome. Can't imagine how pretty it would be during the summer when it is greener.

This really is Norway in a Nutshell, We caught th 8am express boat (very new, very comfortable) from Bergen and sailed through the pretty islands and up the fantastic Sognefjord to Flam. Here we caught the wonderful Flam train with the most amazing scenery. We went through deep snow (even though it was May) and from Myrdal transferred onto the... More

one of the sweetest trips ever (we did the day trip, but you can do the trip over a few days). i liked the train and the bus trips, but nothing beats the boat sailing through the fjords. the fjords are beautiful, and so are the waterfalls from where you can drink the freshest water. i dont have enough words...

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful - there are video's online of this... we watched them before we'd learned about trip advisor.... I am very happy we included the Norwary in a Nutshell to our trip. It's a compact way to include a lot of sites that you may miss while there. Norway is full of nature and astounding views! I've never visited... More

Myself and my boyfriend went on this tour a couple of weeks ago and had a really wonderful time. We did the day trip, started in Bergen (although there are options from Oslo and Voss also and also stopover options), caught the 8:30ish train to Voss and were then transported by coach to Gudvangen where we caught our ferry through...

Excellent. So glad I got to experience this. A very comfortable and breathtaking way to see Norway. The Fjords were spectacular.

We took the 1 day Norway in a nutshell tour. We started off at the Bergen train station and ended in Oslo (very late). We booked about two months in advance and we picked up the train tickets the day before we left, that way we would be all ready. We each brought a big suitcase and it was completely... More

By ordering the NIN tour, you will guarantee that you will have a seat in the public transportation to the Fjords. I set off in the Bergen railway station, got off in Voss, took the bus to the ferry station. It was a magnificent 2 hour trip, seeing the fjords and the villages, snow capped mountains. I was lucky it... More

My partner and I read about this tour while searching the internet for interesting destinations in Norway, and we can tell you, that it was amongst the most memorable trips we have done.The great thing about this tour is you can choose how long you want it to be. We chose to make a 3 day stop over in Gudvangen... More
