The Experience
What your day looks like
This tour starts from Oslo where you board a Bergen Railway train taking you on a journey across Norway’s spectacular mountain terrain. Once you reach Myrdal, you will then have to change to the world-famous Flåm Railway. There is a reason why this railway is considered one of the most beautiful train rides in the world, which is also why it is one of the leading tourist attractions in Norway. There is absolutely no better way to enjoy the very best of Western Norway’s raw beauty and picturesque scenery. From Flåm your trip continues on a fjord cruise to see the two fjords that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Nærøyfjord is the longest fjord in Norway, it is one of the inner branches of the Sognefjord and it is only 500 metres wide in some parts. Meanwhile Aurlandsfjord is considered one of the Sognefjord’s wildest and most spectacular branches due to its magnificent and picturesque views with tall mountains overlooking the fjord. After the boat ride you will then arrive at the old Viking village Gudvangen located at the end of the Nærøyfjord. Gudvangen has been a popular tourist destination for decades. In Gudvangen you will get on a bus which will then take you all the way through Nærøydalen valley offering one of the most spectacular scenery in all Norway. Moreover, during the warm months from May to September the bus goes all the way down the famous steep hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva. Once the bus reaches Voss you proceed by train on the Bergen Railway to conclude your tour in Norway’s second largest city – Bergen.

The Self-Guided Norway Tour: Oslo to Bergen was great albeit for one reason: We were instructed to find bus #950 with signage of "Norway in a Nutshell" after departing the ferry following the fjord tour. There were probably 12 busses parked and not one of them had the signage "Norway in a Nutshell" displayed. Additionally, the bus #950 arrived late and the bus number was not displayed well which caused us and many other traveler's issues in locating the correct bus to Voss. The trains were all on schedule, the ferry boat was lovely and comfortable and if only the weather would have been sunny vs. rainy it would have made the trip even more enjoyable. I had read some prior reviews about storing luggage being problematic, and since we were travelling with luggage, I was concerned; however, this was a non-issue as the trains, ferry and bus all had adequate luggage storage assuming you are carrying one suitcase and one personal item. I highly recommend the tour as a way to see the beautiful Norway countryside and experience multiple waterfalls and of course travel on the fjord.
