Our recent trip with Liam was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality even when we only booked the trip four hours prior. He picked us up and the adventure immediately began. The highlights of our experience included the gorges, exploring Voss, taking a scenic boat ride along the fjords and the lookout point. Each activity was well-organized and timed perfectly with the fjord and train schedule. He was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. What truly set this experience apart was the attention to detail and the genuine kindness of Liam. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and made lasting memories.

Went on this trip in October and loved it. The tour guide , Bas, was really friendly, had a lot of interesting knowledge and was more than happy to take a photo for me! I was a bit worried as this was my first solo trip but I shouldn’t have worried! There were other solo travellers on the trip too and everyone was so friendly! The scenery was amazing and just breath taking. Loved it! The hike was not too strenuous and just beautiful! The only thing I’d say is there wasn’t many food options so make sure you bring lunch with you. It was a bonus to see some snow as well! Thanks for such an amazing day!

5 out of 5 stars

Great experience! Our guide was very attentive to the group and went the extra mile, taking us on land to explore the charming village of Botne. The boat was great and offered a really unique way to see the fjords. Definitely recommend for a fun and different perspective on Norway’s stunning landscapes!
