We had an excellent tour , our guide Michael was very kind, informative and did everthing possible for us to have a great experience out there. In addition he did the all the explanations in Spanish, and that was a valuable plus for us. Not to mention the marvelous landscape of the region, like the train to Flam , the Naeroyfjord ant the rest of the highlights included. Thanks Guided Fjord tours!

Fantastic scenery throughout the entire tour—van portion, trains to Flam, catamaran tour boat through fjords back to Flam, then return van trip back to Bergen with scenic stops. Paul was a great driver and guide. He had all of our tickets ready to go and personally escorted us to the entry points and was always waiting for us at the exit areas. Really enjoyed his insights and personal attention!! This was at least equally scenic to our experience in Switzerland — fairly expensive tour but avoiding the crowds and personal guide made it well worth it for the 4 of us!

This was the worst tour I have ever booked." And I have taken over 50 tours all over the world.
The tour as presented on GUIDED FJORD TOURS web site was not the tour I experienced.
And this was a very expensive tour and not worth the price with what transpired.
1. Tour stated there would be an english speaking guide. There was no guide simply a taxi driver who gave no information on the sights along the drive to and from the boat and train rides. Description led one to believe the driver would also be a guide.
2. We were to be driven in a PRIVATE car. Instead we were picked up LATE by a taxi. I did not pay to be driven in a taxi for over 6 hours. A ride in a taxi from the airport to your hotel is one thing but not for 6 hours. The driver was very unkempt and the taxi smelled of perspiration, cigarette smoke, old food and smelly diapers. I tend to get car sick and had to stop to throw up with the smells and had to ride with the windows down the whole time.
3. The taxi driver was very confused about the trip details. I had to read from the email exactly what he was to do. He was going to take us to the train station to catch a train to the boat instead of driving us the 2 hours.
4. When we reached the boat he said he would pick us up in Flam. I told him he was to pick us up at Voss. He argued with me and said we were to take a round trip train
ride in Flam. This was INCORRECT but all he had was 2 round trip tickets. Here we are out in the country with no ability to get the correct train tickets.
Riding back to Flam added an additional hour of driving time from Flam to Bergen and since we did not get picked up in Voss missed the beautiful train scenery from
Myrdal to Voss. We were late to our 7:30 dinner since the trip was over 11 hours not 10. When I questioned the train ticket I was told they had problems in Myrdal not running. However when we got to Myrdal people got off to catch the train to Voss and people got on to take the train to Flam. The taxi driver either did not know to buy 2 different tickets Flam to Myrdal/Myrdal to Voss or made a mistake buying a round ticket and did not want to repurchase correct one
or simply was INCOMPETENT,
We paid 15000 K or over $ 1,500 for this PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR which we did not receive per the web site details.
If this tour had followed the details per the web site I would not be complaining about the cost. IT SIMPLY DID NOT and is false advertising.
I have contacted the tour company GUIDED FJORD TOURS two times
about some sort of refund and have received NO RESPONSE.

Paul seamlessly lead our group of seven through the tour pointing out historical points and local anecdotes that made the 10 hours fly. As the trip lead, it was so relaxing to sit back knowing that every step was going to be managed with the best aspects highlighted. Highly recommend!!

Si bien en un principio nos dijeron que no había posibilidad de hacerla con guía en español, finalmente sí que pudo ser.
De todas maneras, se agradecería la opción de más excursiones con guía en español.
La salida, preciosa.
