Our group was very appreciative of the amazing views of the fjord.s  Overall, a very good tour and I believe we got to see Norway from a rare vantage point.  The score reflects our opinion that the guides  humor was inappropriate,  off color and even sexist at time.s We're not prudes by any stretch but this was not the  time or place. 

A couple of things to be aware of  are that the ride  from the port to the departure point took us almost 90 minutes and you'll be taking the train back to Bergen.  The guide said  the train return is in the itinerary so I may have missed it. For us, it ended up being a nice experience. The train is efficient and clean, the views were lovely and we were able to see a bit of the city.   It took us about 25 minutes at a relaxed pace to walk from the Bergen train station back to port. We had plenty of time and fortunately for us had one in our group who can confidently navigate maps. 

Overall I recommend this tour.

We are a group of friends  above the age of 65 who travelled around the world extensively. During our travels we utilized the services of many good guides and travel companies. But after traveling with Bjorn and Norway Fjord travel ,I have to say that the best among others comes way behind Bjorn. He is undoubtedly the BEST.We always wanted to see Norway and our planning started in December. I had interacted with many guides but the moment I started my communication with Bjorn I knew that he is the right guy and after completing the tour I can confidently say that the end result is much beyond our expectations.

I sent him our itinerary with my knowledge( acquired from the net)and he fine tuned it to suit us to have a good experience. He advised us regarding the hotels and in a couple of places ,where we could not get a proper accommodation ,he helped us to get accommodation for in good places. His knowledge of Norway is immense- be it scenic roads, view points, history, culture, economy . He drove us for 9 days from May 27 to June 4th through enchanting Norway. He knew the lesser travelled roads with stunning sceneries. In Bergen we went with him into the Fjords in a RIB. He took us through Fjords into which the big ships were not able  go. We had the greatest time of our  lives during that ride. We went literally under a waterfall. If it was not for him we would have missed out some incredible parts. He is punctual & jovial. He is observant and sensitive to the needs, comforts and discomforts of travelers and tries his best to make everyone comfortable and at ease . His commentary mixed with humor during the journey about the scenic landscapes, made the journey interesting. Norway is a very beautiful country with Fjords, mountains, waterfalls and the pleasure of seeing it enhanced many fold, thanks to Bjorn and Norway Fjord travel.

Bjorn loves his work and that makes it very exciting to be on a trip with him. He knows the niches to go to and things to do (that make for great memories) and we are very thankful to him for that.
