Review of Bergen’s self-guided fjord day trip by train, bus, boat, and Flåm Railway, with practical tips on timing, crowds, food, and value.

“All worked brilliantly! Tickets & instructions arrived soon after booking and the organiser double checked that everything had been received. On the day all worked like clockwork and I enjoyed a beautiful trip with the fjord cruise and the Flam railway. Only comment is that this version comes without reserved train seats, so in the morning you have to be quick to spot an unreserved seat in the train because the majority are booked by tour groups.”

Also sad that “pack” mentality still exists in our world. Would very much recommend this tour, even in the rain.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · from $538

Review the Bergen to Oslo Sognefjord cruise and Flåm Railway trip, with practical advice on scenery, food, timing, price, and planning.

“This was a very easy well organized self-guided tour that showcases the amazing Sognefjord and Flåm. Bus journey includes a phot stop at the top of the valley that leads to to Sognefjord. The electric Fjord ship was just fabulous but if you need a seat and want to be outdoors make for the back of the second deck and sit on the black deck boxes. We choose and extended stop in Flåm and we found that to be painful as you are trapped in a tourist shopping town with few decent food options. The train museum was worthwhile and that’s it. We waited to have lunch and that was…”
