Excellent Small Group Tour of the Norweigian Countryside & Fjords - I highly recommend this tour if you want to get the real experience of the villages and countryside without having to deal with a large bus crowd. I had previously taken another bus tour with the fjord cuise and while it was ok I feel I got much more out of this one and it was more relaxing. First of all, the Mercedes minival was new and very comfortable for the full day trip. The group size is perfect for allowing you to interact with some of the participants and not constantly have to wait for everyone to return to the bus to move on. The driver, I believe it was Geir, was outstanding at narrating the highlights along the way and was very personable and helpful. The waterfalls we stopped at on this tour were much more impressive then those we stopped at on the large bus tour. While this did not include a fjord cruise, we followed along the water for a good part of the tour and were able to see the fjords extremely well from a different perspective and got as good or even better view than from the boats. It included a stop for lunch at a very picturesque village right a lake which had excellent fish soup. The ferry across the fjord was also nice and allowed for a good break to get out and stretch and grab some of the traditional pancakes you hear about. In summary, this was a superb day trip and would be worth twice the price for the value and experience received.

The activity itself is a... - The activity itself is a past, the guide at all times gives you explanations, in English as it marks the activity, hurts that our English is very basic and did not speak anything in Spanish... But if it's not your problem... It gives you a lot of information, we make many stops in very nice places. He took us to a place where we ate very well. Transportation is very comfortable and there were not many of us... Which I liked... Thank you Thomas for the experience....

Hardanger Fjord (+ Waterfalls) Tour By Bus - Despite some rainy weather, this mini-bus tour was very good. Thomas, our driver and guide, was excellent providing excessive commentary not only about the sights but also many interesting stories about life in Norway. As you would expect, the scenery was spectacular both the visited waterfalls and the fjord. Only slight criticism is that we perhaps made 2 stops more than required (in our personal opinion), or there seemed like some better alternative stops. But overall, we enjoyed our bus-based fjord tour which was a good complement to our other ferry-based fjord tour.

Long bus ride - If you want to spend your entire day either on a. Bus or on the inside of a ferry this is for you. We saw 2 water falls, had lunch and then it was just bus the entire way. Roads were closed and the tour company didn’t know about it until we were on the road. Causing us to miss a lot of the trip and arrive 90 minutes late. The tour company should have a better planning system to know when roads are closed due to construction. If I hadn’t begged to stop for water we would have been on the trip for 7 hours with no chance to even buy water.
