Nice day trip from Bergen - Very pleasant day trip from Bergen. You get to see nice spots without walking too much, really enjoyable. The bus stops often for toilets and refreshment. The guide Bas gave a lot of information on the places and Norway in general and made sure everyone was following safely.

Beautiful tour to the national park - Great bus excursion to the national park where we had 3 hours to enjoy a lake overlooking the breathtaking glacier.
We also stopped several times and each place was more beautiful than the other
Our guide Nekane and the bus driver was super friendly and the information to share was interesting with a touch of humor.
A tour I recommend

Majestic day tour and hike - Bas was fantastic and the tour was a perfect combination of events. Even though we had some wet weather, Bas kept up the happy mood with funny stories. The waterfall stop was lovely. And the national park was definitely the highlight of my Norway trip. The hike was easy enough and beautiful river views. The glacier lake was so special. I absolutely recommend this tour and hope you get Bas as your guide.

Disconnection guaranteed! - Very pleasant day despite a rainy morning (but this is also Norway...) with our guide Bas! The latter, very smiling, gave us a lot of information about the life, history, nature of Norway (with a lot of humor!). An extra guide that adapts to the people present while leaving us some freedom.
The icing on the cake: the discovery of Lake Glacier, just beautiful!
To do!! Guide really at the top!

We experienced this day as very beautiful, due to the knowledge of Guide Bas. The mountain hike was the highlight of the day. - Our Guide Bas, had a lot of knowledge and conveyed it well and clearly. That made it a nice day. He had an eye and attention for all the people who were with him. That's a nice quality.

Middle-aged Americans made it to the lake and were very proud of themselves! - We weren’t quite sure what to expect (besides incredible views), but were thrilled with our experience! Bas, our guide and Jarl were lively and enthusiastic, had interesting information to share. Bas told folk tales and played traditional music on the bus ride and Jarl delivered us safely back home. Both very kind and engaging and we would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is confident in a medium-level difficult hike. You will be rewarded ten fold for your efforts in hiking to the lake!

A must do - This trip was an absolute must. First, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the countryside, then we took a ferry to the park. The views there were spectacular. We had an amazing and funny tour guide named Bas. He was kind and helpful, telling us stories about the country while also making jokes and making us laugh. I definitely recommend this tour and Bas.
