“This experience provided exposure to Norway’s diverse beauty in the area northeast of Bergen, through an array of transport: motor coach (narrated tour as we passed through tunnels, and by villages, lakes, streams), walking (through Viking Village with an interesting presentation of the Viking life!), electric boat (Fjords!!), and two types of trains (waterfalls, villages, mountains and streams). Long day (10 hours) but truly felt comfortable with the idea of a return to further explore and relax in these beautiful areas.”

The stop off at the station house before returning was fascinating. There is a collection of memorabilia relating to the Norwegian gold run during WW2. Despite the weather not being great, it was still well worthwhile and one of the highlights of our cruise. Thoroughly recommended.”
