Maria is a wonderful guide. She was able to show us Bergen and its culture in one day, and introduce us to the Norwegian mentality. She sang songs for us and told us various stories. The road was challenging due to various circumstances beyond our control, and Maria improvised and shared information that was not part of the original plan. Maria created a comfortable atmosphere and always made sure that everyone felt at ease. And we had a great driver Anita. Thanks to her, we could go and enjoy the fjords. Fjords are great all waterfalls are great, I don’t know english words to describe this beauty, but if it weren’t Maria and Anita, the trip wouldn’t have been so great.

This was a fabulous tour. We had already been to Flam via ferry and train but this bus trip was a totally different experience. We loved the scenery and comfortable mini bus. Our guide was very informative and easy to understand. There was an accident in the 11 km tunnel but he was able to stop at a place right before the tunnel where we could explore, use restrooms, and have ice cream. We got to go up to the stegastein viewpoint and that was fabulous too. We can highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the area.

On June 29, we were lucky enough to have María e. on this tour. Although it was scheduled in English, due to the large number of Spanish speakers, it was conducted in Spanish. Very well organized with enough time to see everything. I definitely recommend it.
