What To Expect
Eidfjord Municipality
After a convenient pickup, we will kickstart our adventure by taking the winding roads of Måbødalen, where each turn reveals a breathtaking view. This route is known as one of Norway's renowned 18 scenic roads! As we ascend, your guide will share captivating stories, all the while you see the landscape transform before your eyes. The higher we climb, the rockier the terrain becomes, with fewer trees and a more rugged ambiance, eventually leading us to the largest high-altitude plateau in Northern Europe.
This hotel still has the same atmosphere as when it was built in 1891. It was a popular destination frequently visited by the renowned Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Today, it remains a favored spot, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in the present ambiance, enjoy a coffee and pie, and explore the souvenir shop.

1.00Tour operator, Velkommen Norway (VN), failed to arrive at pickup spot 9am 03/08/2025. A total of 17 people, a number of whom had received tour confirmation from VN 02/08/2025, were waiting for tour operator to arrive at The Joker supermarket. Differing pickup times were on email communications from VN: 9am, 9:15am and 9:30am. At 9:40am, one guest rang the number on booking confirmation - the person who answered the call, advised they "would the tour operator and call the guest back". No call was returned from VN. After waiting for over an hour, the group purchased tickets from an alternative operator. To date, no refund has been received from Viator or Velkommen Norway nor any communication regarding explanation for failure to collect the 17 people who booked the tour.

5.00Very nice excursion. The bus ride itself is already very nice. Bas the tour guide told interestingly and enthusiastically what we encountered. I was able to see a lot with a foldable electric wheelchair. At the falls was a piece and a plateau suitable for wheelchair users. I could watch here for an hour while the other family members walked the stairs back over the falls. The driver made sure that the wheelchair was safely transported in the hatch in the bus. We had fortunately radiant weather that morning. A nice excursion to see the nature of Eidfjord.
Excellent excursion &...

5.00We went on the Eidfjord tour to Voringfossen Waterfall and National Park tour. Our tour guide was a young French women who shortened her name to ‘Sam’. She was a great tour guide. She clearly knew and loved the location. She gave a well conceived presentation of the local geology and history. These can be dry topics, but she was very interesting. We learned a lot and loved the views.
Great shore excursion

5.00Wonderful tour by a 45 passenger bus. The pick up was right next to the ship had no difficulty. We had a wonderful tour guide. Her name was Sam. We visited the waterfall, the Hydro electric dam and the lake, saw glaciers, and also visited the largest national park in Norway. Very full itinerary and we had a wonderful time.
Stunning nature.

4.00The trip was great but the stops took too long. This should have been a 2.5 hour trip, not 3.5. Guide was informative.
Wonderful scenery,...
