Full Day Private Tour to Flam with Pick Up
Description
Sit back and relax and let your driver-guide inform you about this incredible piece of Norway. On this private tour, you will experience one of the most beautiful and popular fjord areas in Norway. The narrow and spectacular Nærøyfjord is surrounded by steep mountainsides with snow-covered peaks rising 1,800 meters above sea level, with cascading waterfalls and idyllic villages along the fjord. One of those villages is Gudvangen, which in the Viking Age was an important place for trade. Add to that one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, recommended by National Geographic and Lonely Planet.

The tour is an effective way of combining the fjord cruise and train ride with private driver covering the other parts of the tour. You don’t need to worry about getting the tickets or rushing to catch the train or cruise. Everything is arranged well and our driver guide Tony is very friendly and gives us a lot local knowledge. While it’s more expensive but worth it.

This all day tour was awesome! We were met right on time at our hotel in a very clean Mercedes by Roald. Because he was born and raised in Norway, Roald was able to share some myths, tales (Trolls and Helga) and share some personal stories of growing up in Norway. He also showed us secret scenic spots along the way to Gudvangen (including best cinnamon rolls). Yes, the Fjord cruise and Railway to Flam was beautiful, but the secret spots were breathtaking! Scenery with snow and clouds reflected in calm clear water was spectacular! This was the highlight of our trip! Roald repeated many times the navigational part of the cruise to the Flam Railway and next railway to Voss. (I was afraid we would not make the connections) But it turned out to be very easy, thanks to him! Roald was informative and at times quite funny. He went above and beyond. (Even made our dinner reservations, etc) What a great tour and we hope to be back in Norway one day!

we had the best time with Roald today. we saw norway through all modes of transportation. the boat through the fjords was magnificent! do not skip the fjord cruise! beautiful day!
Highly professional staff, who kept us well informed. Our tour guide Roald was amazing, so knowledgeable and extremely patient with so many of our toilet breaks and a toddler melt down. It was the perfect tour, we saw everything that we wanted to see and the Flam railway was fantastic! Perfect views. Highly recommended for families with young kids.
Great tour of the fjords and the Bergen area. Roald was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. We enjoyed spending the day with him. He made the trip easy and relaxing. We would definitely suggest this tour and would take it again.
The tour is a perfect amount of time to get a quick overall of several areas around Bergen and see the fyrods.
Great tour the area is outside of Bergen. Lovely company excellent car. Very timely and pleasant experience. We recommended to anybody.
Thanks you! We are really glad that you wnjoyed our tour and guide’s company.
Our Flam Real Experience AS Tour provided the highlight of our two-week trip to Scandinavia. We visited beautiful valleys and waterfalls away from the usual tourist spots with our guide Roald. He shared his knowledge about the Norwegian fjords and the area around Bergen. And Roald answered all our questions about Norwegian culture, history and industry. My husband, son and I wished the day could have been a bit sunnier. But our experiences driving the mountain roads with Roald, gliding along the Naeroyfjord on the ferry, and riding the Flam Railway were invaluable. I thank Sonia for arranging our tour; and I am grateful to Roald for giving us such an extraordinary day. I highly recommend this exceptional tour.
