We recently had the pleasure of taking a private round-trip tour from Oslo to Sognefjord via Flåm, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Our guide, Helene, was phenomenal—she was not only engaging and knowledgeable but also incredibly organized. Every detail of the trip was perfectly planned, making the experience seamless and stress-free, right down to having a bottle of water and some chocolate for us in the car when she picked us up. The scenic Flåm Railway ride and the boat cruise on Sognefjord showcased Norway's breathtaking beauty perfectly. Helene made sure we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the journey, and her engaging stories made the hours fly by in the car. This tour is a must for anyone short on time but eager to experience the fjords. If you get a chance, definitely ask for Helene; she truly elevated our adventure with her outstanding organization, thoughtful conversation and attention to detail!

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.

Our guide was super friendly and knowledgable. We had frequent stops for sightseeing and he knew the best spots. The car was clean and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend planning and booking trips with them. They can also help in booking accommodations at the right destination if you plan a multi-day trip.

It was great, there weren't many people and we could enjoy the views in peace throughout the trip. The captain of the boat was very friendly and explained many things to us.
