From there on, the Hardanger Fjord will be on our right all the time, until we enter the Vallavik tunnel after about 50 minutes and then cross the Hardanger bridge. This is a 55-meter-tall, 1,380-meter-long engineering feat that was the longest bridge in Norway and the 10th-longest in the world when it opened.

It was raining during our tour that was also hindered by road constructions but Lorenzo was accommodating and flexible and made the trip a success. We enjoyed the waterfalls (we actually went under one of them) and going around the Hardangerfjord, shopping and lunch pick up at Voss. We wished we had more time. One of us unknowingly left a wallet with money in his van. He sent a message with picture. We were already sailing but he worked it out so that he could return it electronically. What more can you ask for. Lorenzo, you are the best. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

Our tour from Eidfjord was a wonderful experience. The check-in was easy as was finding the bus. Our tour guide, Bas, who is so enthusiastic about Norway he has made it his home, shared his love of the country with us. During the tour Bas engaged the entire group with very informative comments both on and off the bus. This tour was so well organized and enjoyable we would be very happy to have a chance to do another tour with Bas in the future.

The tour was great. A nice contrast for a visitor to Oslo who is close to nature. The route to the fjord is already something special, but sailing through the fjord arms in an e-boat is breathtaking and also a bit mystical. The Flåm Railway route also has a special charm. Our guide Bjørn did a great job. Super friendly and entertaining. The trip is really expensive, but for us it was worth it.

Awesome opportunity to tour the waterfall, the dam and see the countryside with a knowledgeable guide! I was also very appreciative that they kept up with our boat itinerary, so when we were scheduled to be late, the guide knew it before we did and proactively reached out to me! This was well worth the money and I thought it was far cheaper than it should have been!

The tour and tour guide was excellent! The tour was very organized and everything was explained as to what we were doing.
