Everything worked great with GetYourGuide, but it was difficult with the actual organizer. We only received all the information very late, which was a bit exhausting for us in the planning (16 hours before the start of the trip). The trip itself was very nice! Unfortunately we were not able to do the full cruise due to weather conditions but a replacement was arranged. We liked the Flam Railway best, followed by the shortened boat trip. It is a long journey and we would recommend taking plenty of provisions with you. Since we traveled in winter, a cafe/restaurants were closed.

Fantastic tour with everything well planned by Frode and our guide Baul. I was travelling with my parents. We don’t have to worry about the tickets or where to board the train, boat etc, and the car is always waiting at the station and the port to take us to the next location. And our guide is very knowledgeable and shared many interesting cultural and historical information with us. The tour went very smoothly and we were lucky enough that the sun finally came out so we could take some really nice photos at the view point. Thanks very much! We had a great time!

The pickup is punctual and the driver give us some inside about Norway. It’s great pleasure to meet up with nice tour guide Paul and Po (hopefully I spell the name correctly). It’s great trip throughout the whole journey for this private trip especially when you’re traveling with family and dragging with luggages. Overall great experience.

The trip was absolutely wonderful. Guide Gimndes - Dziky was very friendly, informed and he showed us many new things. We spend 11 hours with him.

Agnis was amazing. He was very accommodating and even took me to see two stave churches.
