The Norway in a Nutshell tour is great for those with limited time in Bergen to exeprience a taste of the fjord scenery in Norway. As I had done the Bergen, Gundavagen, Flam, Myrdal, Bergen route on a previous trip to Bergen this time both my wife and I went on the round trip starting from Bergen to Flam on... More

There a number of four day/three night Norway in a Nutshell holiday packages available. We chose the one that took in Voss, Bergen and the famous Flam Railway. We travelled independently but our transport, activities, and accommodation were all arranged within the package. Day One we travelled by train from Oslo to Voss, where we were booked into the delightful... More

It may be "Norway in a Nutshell" but this tour provides the breadth and diversity of Norway's amazing landscape. From snowy mountains of Myrdal to Flam's harbour and Norway's fjords, a truly dazzling introduction to Norway's rich, diverse scenery. Tour includes passage by train, ferry and bus. A must do!

The Bergen Rail and most especially the Flam Railway rides were unbeatable. Especially the Flam...at one point you're allowed off to take pictures in front of a snow capped mountain with waterfall and pool....gorgeous. A three hour layover in Flam was about one hour too long. After a leisurely lunch and checking out the souvenir shops, there's not a whole... More

Took the tour as a side trip while on the way from Oslo to Bergen. Highly recommended for the scenery and experience of the region. I went in late April, so fairly cold but still very beautiful. In the summer it must be spectacular. The one big disappointment was the car ferry used as an excursion boat... completely inapropriate vessel... More

I was on a three weeks trip to Norway in August 2002. Here are my remarks: - Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Food, drinks and public transport might be 4 times as much as they are in Central Europe. Bring your own if you can. Accommodation in campgrounds is inexpensive, on the other hand.... More

This is always listed as a must do and it is pricey. The fjords are gorgeous. In fact the whole journey is gorgeous. The transport links all hook up efficiently. BUT the boat ride is awful, too small for the groups they take. It was not overly cold on the day we travelled but too long to stay outdoors on... More

Seeing the fjords of Norway in person is breathtaking! The magnificent mountains and beautiful water are perfect for people who want a full-on experience with nature. The train and boat rides through the steep mountain sides are a once in a lifetime experience. Be prepared, however, for some down time between trips. There is a four hour "layover" in a... More

We did the Norway in a Nutshell tour while spending several weeks in Scandinavia. This was one of the most scenic days of my life, not just of this trip! The town of Flam is beautiful as is the whole rail trip down the valley past countless waterfalls. The boat ride through the fjords was breathtaking as well! My only... More
