Guided Fjord Tours · Bergen

Your own guide, from your hotel

A private guide picks you up at your Bergen hotel and drives you via Tvindefossen to the Viking village at Gudvangen, before the boat to Flåm, the Flåm Railway up to Myrdal and the train to Voss, where the car waits. It is the private version of the classic Viking village loop, made for families and small groups who want no meeting point and no waiting for others.

Private Day Tour: Nærøyfjord Cruise & Flåm Railway

About this experience

Guided Fjord Tours sells this as the private twin of its Viking village loop, but the order is reversed. Your guide collects you from your hotel in Bergen and drives to Gudvangen via Tvindefossen. After a guided walk through the Njardarheimr Viking village you board a battery-powered boat for about two hours through the Nærøyfjord to Flåm, with free time there; the Flåm Railway Museum by the station is free.

Then the Flåm Railway climbs to Myrdal, the Bergen Line takes you down to Voss, and the private car brings you back to your hotel. That last leg is the real gain over the shared tours: no walk from Bergen station with tired children, and no early meeting point.

The price shown is for one adult, so check the price for your group size on the booking page before you compare. The listing mentions food and drinks, but a guest says to buy food: plan on paying for lunch. It is not suitable for wheelchair users. And if riding the train downhill matters to you, the shared flagship does that and this tour does not.

Tips before you book

  • Check the price for your exact group size before you compare with shared tours.
  • Ask about child seats when you book if you travel with small children.
  • Views switch sides on the way up from Flåm. Most guides say sit on the right going up, and everyone gets out at Kjosfossen anyway.
  • Buy lunch in Flåm or at the Viking village.
