Review of Geiranger’s 80-minute bus tour with multilingual audio guide, Eagle Bend, Flydalsjuvet, Seven Sisters views, price, tips, and drawbacks.
“Was ok. Good for bus ride to get great views! The audio didn't work however. At first stop bus dropped us off and left to turn around pick us up in different location, with no notice! People on our bus were a little panicked until we found where bus was. If you want bus ride this is good though.”
Review of Bergen’s 10-hour self-guided fjord trip by train, bus, boat, and Flåm Railway, with practical tips on timing, tickets, and value.
“Easy connections thanks to detailed instructions in the email. Only difficulty was four of six train tickets were not in the email! Then, intermittent Wi-Fi and Internet (tunnels?) caused saved emails to disappear. Fortunately able to email request for missing ones to be sent. Advise carrying backup paper and fully charged devices. Not clear in email that bus and boat tickets were not necessary. Jackets we brought were required in fjords and fortunately it did not rain. All said, best day of our trip!”
Explore Ålesund, Godøya, Alnes Lighthouse, and Aksla on a three-hour island tour with audio commentary and coastal views.
“De rit met de kleine touringbus was geweldig en we hebben een heerlijk genoten van de stops. De chauffeur was goed en hielp ook daar waar nodig. 's avonds op het schip zagen we de bezochte vuurtoren ook nog staan. Uitzichtpunt Alska was fantastisch.”

Review of Oslo’s 22-hour Sognefjord trip by Bergen Railway, Flåm Railway, fjord cruise, bus, and sleeper train, with practical tips.

Review of Bergen to Oslo by train, bus, and fjord ferry, with Flåm Railway, Nærøyfjord, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This package included a fantastic itinerary of Norway fjords and trains. The scenery is stunning. The weather on our trip day, however, was rainy and cloudy, so just consider that you might not see the sights in the same way as in the advertised photos! No fault of the company.”
See Molde, Varden viewpoint, marble caves, and the Atlantic Ocean Road on a scenic 3.5-hour audio tour from Norway’s coast.
“Nice tour. Guide gave good information. Initial Meeting place is not very well informed as there are a lot of guides from other companies with a viator placard as well.”
Explore seven Norwegian coastal cities at your own pace with GPS audio tours, flexible timing, and useful history in English or German.
“It is a very nice idea. I have to say beforehand, that we wanted to use it just for the city Tromsø so not for all the coastal cities. The main part of the audio was rather to get us to the next tour point as to tell us about the city (the audios were often times pretty short) so we haven‘t learned so much about the city or the monuments through this city tour but despite of that it was fun to walk through the city.”
Explore Bergen’s landmarks, artists, sailors, and wartime past on a flexible 45 to 75 minute audio walking tour for $8.99.
“It was easy to understand the guide, follow along on the map, and go at my own pace. User friendly app”
Review of Tromsø’s $6.39 self-guided audio walk, covering Arctic landmarks, practical app tips, route limits, and overall value.
“I would recommend doing this walking tour the first chance upon arrival in Tromsø. It would have truly helped to see where everything was from the start. We did it on our last day, but it was still interesting to hear a little bit more history than we had before. It was great that the tour automatically paused until you got to the next stop. Made it very convenient to get those photo opportunities, if we needed to go off the tour path for a few minutes.”
Explore Oslo with 11 Viking-themed puzzles, from City Hall to Akershus Fortress, in a flexible, low-cost walking game for private groups.
“Passer på den dag det ikke regner eller er veldig kaldt. Må være litt tolmodige, noen av hintene var vanskelig å skjønne.”
