Samnanger Municipality
We've now been on the road for just over half an hour, time for a short break. We stop at Bjørkheim Cafe, from where we have a fantastic view of the Fjord. There are public toilets here and a cafe. We stay here for 15 min.
Fossen Bratte
Fossen Bratte means steep waterfall and that is a statement: The river Eikedalselva thunders down in a single drop over 79 meters. We also make a short photo stop at this waterfall and then drive a few hundred meters along the old road to get an impression of what it was like to drive on Norwegian roads in the good old days.

Great experience of the fjords and the surrounding communities. Our guide, Gair, was great in explaining the history of the towns around the fjords making the day fun filled. The classical music on the bus was nice and the pace of travel was just right.

This is an excellent day tour to the Hardangerfjord that I would recommend to travellers that are in Bergen for a short stay/weekend escape. Geir, our guide and drive, was well organised and gave us information about the region and places we were visiting. The scenery along the trip was amazing, and ever-changing between snowy landscapes, waterfalls, and fjordland. Overall, the tour is well organised, reasonably priced and manages to offer the most in terms of sightseeing within the constraints of a day trip.

I highly recommend this tour if you want to get the real experience of the villages and countryside without having to deal with a large bus crowd. I had previously taken another bus tour with the fjord cuise and while it was ok I feel I got much more out of this one and it was more relaxing. First of all, the Mercedes minival was new and very comfortable for the full day trip. The group size is perfect for allowing you to interact with some of the participants and not constantly have to wait for everyone to return to the bus to move on. The driver, I believe it was Geir, was outstanding at narrating the highlights along the way and was very personable and helpful. The waterfalls we stopped at on this tour were much more impressive then those we stopped at on the large bus tour. While this did not include a fjord cruise, we followed along the water for a good part of the tour and were able to see the fjords extremely well from a different perspective and got as good or even better view than from the boats. It included a stop for lunch at a very picturesque village right a lake which had excellent fish soup. The ferry across the fjord was also nice and allowed for a good break to get out and stretch and grab some of the traditional pancakes you hear about. In summary, this was a superb day trip and would be worth twice the price for the value and experience received.

We had an amazing day out with Vlad, a wonderful lunch at a cider farm and stopped at many beautiful locations. Vlad is enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable, a wonderfully companionable guide

The scenery is exceptional even with bad weather. Thomas is a very knowledgeable guy and really wanted us to enjoy the day. I'd say this is a very worthwhile trip!

It’s a great experience although some places you feel it could have been better but that’s about the time we chose to come and not the provider the provider of the service went out of the way to support us and infact I feel they did a great job of it

The activity itself is a past, the guide at all times gives you explanations, in English as it marks the activity, hurts that our English is very basic and did not speak anything in Spanish... But if it's not your problem... It gives you a lot of information, we make many stops in very nice places. He took us to a place where we ate very well. Transportation is very comfortable and there were not many of us... Which I liked... Thank you Thomas for the experience....

Despite some rainy weather, this mini-bus tour was very good. Thomas, our driver and guide, was excellent providing excessive commentary not only about the sights but also many interesting stories about life in Norway. As you would expect, the scenery was spectacular both the visited waterfalls and the fjord. Only slight criticism is that we perhaps made 2 stops more than required (in our personal opinion), or there seemed like some better alternative stops. But overall, we enjoyed our bus-based fjord tour which was a good complement to our other ferry-based fjord tour.
