Our family was in Bergen for just a few days and we wanted to maximize our stay with a visit to the glacier. We booked this trip with Vlad who was an exceptional guide/driver. His communication prior to our visit was professional and responsive and helped us plan our time efficiently. His knowledge of Bergen and Norway was exceptional and his heartfelt love of Norway was wonderful. During our trip he enthusiastically pointed out stunning scenery and personalized our trip so we could stop and take photos while also keeping us on schedule since he was so familiar with the country. He made this such an exceptional day for our family and went well out of his way to make this such a special trip for which we are grateful.
Vlad is Your Man!

Our day with Vlad was the highlight of our visit in Norway. He was a great guide, driver and talented photographer! We saw so many beautiful, non-touristy places! Don’t hesitate booking a day trip with him!
Awesome tour and service!

Vlad was great and very knowledgeable. We booked a private tour to see waterfalls and Folgefonna Glacier. The waterfalls were so beautiful and the ferry rides were so interesting. The landscape was amazing going up to Folgefonna. Even though the clouds were low and it was rainy, it was still a great day. Vlad made up for the weather by taking us to places just as beautiful that were not affected by the weather. He was very good at maximizing our time so that we got to enjoy every moment we had on our limited time off the ship. Excellent tour company! Don H

We had this tour in a cloudy, rainy day. However, we still had fun & were able to explore areas around Bergen. We saw the waterfalls, visited the glacier, and stopped by very nice sceneries. The tour guide was very helpful & nice as well. It was a great experience.
