About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S G0 contributionsBook your trip back to Oslo extra $200Great experience, doesn’t include trip back to Oslo so don’t forget that! You will need to go to the VY app to schedule your train trip back to Oslo by train or flight from Bergen! Add up to $200 more to this.. The night train was super delayed and didn’t get back anytime early! Best to fly out of Bergen after the trip.. faster and about same price as the 7+ hr train back or the 12+ hr bus alternative.. pick the trip that adds the sleepover and ride back! Worth the headache of trying to figure out it yourself! Views were great and worth it just the ride back was the nightmare.. but wonderful trip there!Written 15 November 2024
- F7652NOkevinr0 contributionsThe scenery was pure magicThis trip was magic. We were a bit hesitant about it being self guided. But all of the information, instructions and tickets provided made it very easy to follow. We traveled by train, bus, boat and then train to get back to Bergen where we started. The trip took about 10 hours from 8:00am to 6:15pm. We were kept fascinated with never ending views at each turn. Each one seemingly better than the last. We even saw the tvindefossen waterfall while on the bus leg of our journey. So beautiful. We couldn’t stop taking multiple photos of each highlight, thinking the light or change in angle gave a better shot. I think we are all guilty of that. The whole trip went flawlessly which is a credit to the organiser. We highly recommend you taking this trip. You’ll love every bit of it.Written 4 November 2024
- 200sherind0 contributionsExcellent tripMr. Long had planned my intenary, right from the time i stepped out from flight till I reached back the airport everything was taken care sooo well. Excellent hotel stay with food, cruise with various activities was soo interesting. My entire trip was so fun filled, it was worth the money I paid. Would highly recommend allWritten 2 November 2024
- Gerard P0 contributionsNo logistical planning and a simple magnificent day.This was a well planned day that all fell into place for us without having to do a thing. The sites were beautiful and we just followed the instructions without any problems. There was plenty of time to get to the next train, bus or boat and a guide is not necessary. What a magnificent day and the pictures are all incredible.Written 28 September 2024
- joiannes0 contributionsA wonderful way to see the beauty of NorwayWhat a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Norway. It was a long day but we’re so glad we did this. The views were amazing and it was very easy to get to each leg of the journey. Highly recommend!Written 25 September 2024
- sohoboym0 contributionsYou can do it!The Fjord cruise and trip to Bergen are a must do in an itinerary to Norway. The Oslo Fjord is nice but you’ve missed something if you didn’t see the ones in the west.Written 31 August 2024

- Darryl C0 contributionsDIY fjord trip had challenges but was spectacular !Hi we had a nice trip on the fjord, however it was quite a long trip to Flam via the comfortable ferry. Flam was amazing and sensation views as the weather was sunny for us and we stayed 1 night in the Svengen guesthouse bordering on the Fjord. Sadly the train trip to Oslo was broken up due to previous train being derailed and we had to transfer to VY coaches. We eventually reached Oslo around 7.30pmWritten 20 July 2024

- G654QYralfw0 contributionsTrip Review: Norway by Car, Fjord Cruise, and RailJourney Overview Our adventure began with a road trip from Oslo to Bergen, a route that offered a mix of challenges and breathtaking views. The drive through the mountains was demanding at times, but the rewards were well worth the effort. Driving from Oslo to Bergen Navigating the mountainous terrain posed some challenges, but the experience was ultimately enjoyable. Driving on top of the mountains provided a unique perspective on Norway's stunning landscapes. The winding roads and high altitudes offered unparalleled views, making every twist and turn an adventure in itself. Fjord Cruise Upon reaching Bergen, we embarked on a Fjord Cruise—a must-do for anyone visiting Norway. This cruise was the highlight of our trip, showcasing the raw power and beauty of nature. As we glided through the fjords, surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls, we were reminded of how small we are in comparison to the majestic natural world. The fjord cruise is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that leaves a lasting impression. Rail Trip Back to Bergen To balance our day trip, we took the rail back to Bergen. This leg of the journey provided a different but equally captivating perspective of Norway. The train ride allowed us to relax and enjoy the scenery from a comfortable vantage point, showcasing Norway's diverse landscapes and charming countryside. It was a perfect way to conclude our trip, offering a comprehensive view of what Norway has to offer. Final Thoughts Our trip through Norway was an unforgettable blend of challenging drives, awe-inspiring natural beauty, and relaxing rail journeys. Each part of the journey complemented the others, providing a well-rounded and enriching travel experience. If you're planning a trip to Norway, don't miss the opportunity to drive through the mountains, take a fjord cruise, and experience the scenic railways.Written 11 July 2024
- CarleneLawler0 contributionsNorway in 24hrs amazing.Fabulous way to see Norway with not much time. Easy instructions and everything runs right on time. Beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this. We had dinner at Zander Hotel in Bergen while waiting for 11pm sleeper train. Only comment would be on the last train from Voss to Bergen, a lot of people had pre-allocated seats and ours were “ free seating “ which meant we had to keep moving as in someone’s seat. It’s pretty busy so we ended up in the pram area near the doors which wasn’t that comfortable. Would be better to also have had allocated seats for that section (maybe this could be requested). Lastly good tip would be when get off at Flam, immediately go to the opposite platform and queue up right behind any of the painted carriage numbers on the ground (1-9) as it’s a mad rush to get on and find a seat. Only told to do this prior to boarding which meant everyone pushing to start lines.Written 8 July 2024
- ceslawton0 contributionsLook for alternatives to Rail Ninja. MTRX is very comparable. Unfortunately, as a visitor, you can be misled!Booked our trains several months in advance. Requested business/first class facing forward. They booked our trains and all looked well. Closer to the trip, one part of the rail was cancelled and I didn't understand we were being switched to a bus. I was of the believe we were on the train both legs. Arrived at the train station in Oslo at 9:45 for a 10 a.m. train. We attempted to board when the conductor told us this was a bus ticket at the bus terminal, which was impossible, now, to make their 10 a.m. departure. Realizing our situation, the conductor told us that this train, too, is going to Goteberg and would arrive for us to make the transfer to the second train on our agenda.. So, we had to pay cash to the conductor and boarded in economy. We felt grateful that this would not ruin our scheduling. The ride was beautiful. However, 60 miles north of Goteberg, we all were told we had to get off the train. Seems a power problem prevented the train to go any farther south. They had to call Goteberg for busses to get us there. We were able to crowd onto the first bus knowing we only and an hour layover before going on the Stockholm. Everyone was cordial and understanding. Problem for us is that we missed our connector. We had been booked on Vy trains by Ninja Rail which offered no help since we didn't take their bus that we paid for. When we got to Goteberg, I was able to find an MTRX exonomy that got us to Stockholm in time for a short overnight to make our return home trip. There are more options than Ninja Rail wants you to know! They don't mention MTRX which was comparable to Vy. Somewhere we were told that if the train was over a half hour late, you would get half your ticket rebated. I don't know where to go for this as our Vy train ended 60 miles short of our destination. Put our problems aside. the scenery is breathtaking and, still the best way to see that part of Norway.Written 10 June 2024

- I8107ZEkareng0 contributionsWonderful trip… don’t be afraid… just do it!Had a little trouble at first with understanding exactly what I had to download. I had no trouble downloading confirmation to my Apple wallet, but didn’t realize I needed individual tickets, even with a call from agent. Gratefully someone on train explained, we called & tickets were forwarded to us immediately. Once on the trip, it went like clockwork. My husband was a pessimist, didn’t want to go. We both LOVED the trip! The boat trip was magnificent! The old fashioned train ride was glorious. All so easy to navigate. We saw so much of Norway & met so many lovely people along the way. So grateful we did this!!!Written 21 May 2024

First of all, this review is written from the perspective of almost not being able to do the trip at all because of terrible storms and flooding and landslides so we felt blessed that we were able to make it.
Janis (the cool one) was amazing. He was flexible with all the activities given the extra time because of the cancellation of the train portion of our trip. He got us to the boat just in time for boarding with no waste of time. We made many stops and diversions along the way to see secret Little photo opportunities off the beaten path.
As possible request that you divert to the meteor park for a nice hike to stretch the legs and it's a beautiful views and a little bit of science history.
The cruise was amazing and we were again, lucky enough to get perfect weather.
There was a option to stop and buy tickets to visit the inside of a old church which we opted out of again, leaving more time to adventure and see some special hidden away sites.
On the trip home we stopped at an amazing dinner at beef restaurant which was delicious.

beautiful views by road, friendliest guide ,best spent money
This was the Most Wonderful One day in Norway. We saw the most magnificent Sognefjord via a luxurious cruise organised by this tour.
The private guide , Yohanas or Johannes ,( my spelling night be wrong, apologies) picked us from our hotel .
He was the most intelligent, warm, friendly guide we have met. And he was so kind.
At each step he took extreme care to see that all our needs were fulfilled.
He was one of the main reasons that this day will be cherished in our mind forever.
We began our tour by car from Oslo to Flam( it seems this is the way to go, if you are ready to spend extra, and want luxury.)
During the tour, Yohanas/ Johannes kindly told us whoever wants to sleep, can. ( He saw my husband was tired)
Luckily, I didn't and he shared the most delightful information about what we saw, and also about Norway. The way to Flam via car from Oslo seems to be less advertised online( usually people take the train tour) .
I think the private tour is the best way to see the fjords -
1) if you have less time.
2) if you wish to not face the hassle of changing trains, cruises and being back by an overnight journey at Voss ( exhausted the next day)
3) if you truly wish to experience all in a nutshell - but with luxury.
4) pass by the most breathtaking views on the way- pristine lakes, snowy mountainous, colourful wooden cottages, gushing waterfalls, and so much more.
5) if you wish for Johannes to enthrall you with information about the fjord, Norway.( also, he stopped each time my child has to use the WC)
6) By road, he will also show you 2 scenic points on the way back, which were so beautiful.
After Flam we went on the Flam Railway, ( truthfully we weren't that impressed as all the sights has been seen by us on the way to Flam)
The cruise to the Fjords was enchanting. It truly is worth everything to see nature in its staggering beauty.
A special mention for Johannes/ Yohanas who
let us put our music , didn't mind when my husband snored for a few hours on way to Flam, asked my child questions to put her at ease. His attentive care made this day so so special.
A big thank you.

This was an excellent day trip for my daughter and I to truly appreciate Norway's amazing landscapes. We especially loved the boat cruise along the Sognefjord and the train ride after. Each provided truly spectacular views - including a spotting of a Huldre!

We were lucky enough to get Adis Ibric as our tour guide for the day. He picked us up at the hotel at 8 am and spent his whole day taking care of us until we returned to our hotel around 11 pm. The full day tour was completely worth it. We experienced what seemed to be 4 or 5 different type of environments during our car/train/boat tour. The sights were magnificent and the tour is set up wonderfully. Our guide Adis was extremely knowledgeable and sociable which made the time fly by as we had many different conversations about nature, culture, sports, etc. He made sure that we had everything we needed and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our tour!
