Comfortable and quiet boat. Good information provided. Food and drink available. Overalla good value activity.
Very nice boat. Light snacks on board so consider bringing some food. Wonderful scenery. The guide was very knowledgeable.
One of the most stunning experiences you can be lucky enough to have, highlighting our trip to Bergen. Everything was well organised and efficient, our guide Mara (?) was amazing providing the right amount of detail in a balanced and informative way. She also came around the boat chatting with people and answering any questions, which was lovely. We were also really lucky that the sun shone throughout the trip a rare occurrence in rainy Bergen! Would totally recommend.
Very informative! So relaxing and beautiful, Mara was our guide and she was so knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend.
Superb trip, highly recommended. The tour guide was excellent and the boat well equipped.
This was my first ever boat tour and it was beautiful! Was I nervous? Absolutely. Should I have been looking back? No! It was such a nice experience and the guide was so kind. The tour was about 3 hours, about an hour and a half in and the other hour and a half back to Bergen. The week I spent in Bergen was a sunny week (the guide joked I brought the sun from Texas with me), so it was beautiful being outside on the top. But being from Texas, I rode back in the bottom that was enclosed lol! We also got to go in the very front of the boat as we came back to port. It was such a fun experience and I wish I could do it again! If I ever find myself back in Bergen or anywhere in Norway, I would absolutely do another tour!
Pleasant boat, interesting tour to many beautiful landmarks, very good guide (coming originally from Costa Rica)
A very comfortable and beautiful cruise up to a small town framed by waterfalls at the end of a narrow fjord. The guide was terrific, speaking perfect English and sharing highlights along the way. Indoors was warm and cozy, while stepping outside was a bit colder with wonderful views. Total time was 3 1/2 hours, the perfect length.
Windy but beautiful boat experience. Very friendly staff and gorgeous views along the whole route. So fun!
Amazing Fjord Tour! Our tour experience was a highlight of our trip. Our guide was great throughout and gave us details not only about the fjords but the history of Bergen as well. Highly recommend!
