One of the Very Best - Can't Wait to Book Again!

5.00My family's day with Vlad visiting the Hardangerfjord and Folgefonna glacier was, unanimously among all seven of us, the highlight of our two weeks in northern Europe. It is clear how passionate Vlad is about Norway's culture, history, and landscape. It's a rare treat to work with a guide who can make each minute of a 3- to 4-hour tour so interesting and informative, let alone for the 10.5 hours we were together! Vlad brilliantly engaged our whole crew from Grandma to the kids, and was always prepared to make each moment special - even while we had a brief wait in the van for the next ferry across the fjord. It's incredibly refreshing to have a guide who's perpetually more interested in asking if you're interested in taking a few more minutes to see something off the beaten path that few others do, and never feel like we're in a rush to finish the tour. My only regret is that we only booked one day - without a doubt I will be planning my next trip to Bergen around Vlad's availability!
Overall it was a great experience and a lovely trip. I recommend this to all tourists coming to Bergen.

5.00The best part of the tour was Vlad, our driver and guide, who took us to all the beautiful locales which the tour was supposed to cover, it was indeed a marvellous experience for all of us. The cost of the tour was surprisingly very economical as the tour covered many places. The visit to to the glacirer was extremely great and the walk behid a large waterfall was an experience very uncommon. Overall it was a great experience and a lovely trip. I recommend this to all tourists coming to Bergen.
Incredible, absolutely worth the money

5.00This tour is more than worth your money. Our tour guide, Vlad, was an excellent host. He was energetic and knowledgeable and helpful served us some warm Norwegian drinks which were excellent. The trip itself covers the most important areas in and around Bergen and you see the most beautiful sights. Highly recommend this one.
