Review of Bergen’s full-day fjord tour, with Njardarheimr Viking village, an electric Nærøyfjord cruise, and the Flåm Railway.

“Michael was energetic, introducing himself as a coffee lover and funny person. Throughout the tour, he told us about various things from the history of Voss to Norway's oil and gas industry. We were lucky to have Michael with us during the Flam train ride to let us know which side the views would be on. Overall, Michael made this trip fun and energetic, and big thanks to Linda as well for driving us all around.”

6.Viking Village, Nærøyfjorden Cruise and Flåm Railway

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 155 reviews · 12 hours · from $435

See Norway in one full day with a Viking village, Nærøyfjord cruise, Tvindefossen waterfall, and the Flåm Railway from Bergen.

“It was a great and fun day, blessed with beautiful weather and a clear blue sky. The Viking Village felt more like a tourist consumption experience; to be honest, I was expecting something much more authentic, but had fun with a couple activities, archery and axe throwing. The Nærøyfjord cruise, however, was simply magnificent, clear, calm waters with breathtaking views wherever you looked. Then the magical journey began through the mountains Myrdal, as we ventured deep into a white, snowy, picturesque landscape. Special thanks to our guide, Bjarte, for his exceptional guiding throughout the tour.”
