Warning - no views
Fjord tours operate the Norway in a Nutshell experience. The promotional literature promises wonderful views from the Bergen train line (seven hours of the experience). They do not point out that a window seat is not guaranteed. For the first leg (Oslo to Myrdal five hours) our window view was complete obscured - there was literally no view. Then on the final two-hour section (Voss to Bergen) the train was cancelled meaning reservations were no longer valid on the subsequent train so we had to stand or sit on the floor of the train and again had no view. Fjordtours just books the seats from the Vy network and allocates what they are given - they have no say in ensuring they are window seats. Customers should be made aware that for much of this experience a view is not guaranteed but unfortunately this is not pointed out in their promotional material.

Okay tour, but unnecessarily stretched
The Bergen–Voss–Gudvangen–Flåm–Myrdal–Bergen route was okay overall, but the itinerary felt unnecessarily stretched. The clear highlight was the cruise between Gudvangen and Flåm.
There was quite a lot of unnecessary waiting time in both Gudvangen and Flåm, where there is relatively little to do for such long stops. The itinerary could easily be shortened by around two hours without making the connections feel rushed.
Another point to consider is the price. Although booking everything independently means arranging five separate journeys, it would still be considerably cheaper than purchasing the packaged tour.

Thank you for such a considered review – this is genuinely useful, and we're glad the Gudvangen–Flåm cruise stood out.
On the waiting time, you're right that it can be tightened. The departures on this route can be combined in several ways, and you can choose the combination yourself when booking on our website – some have noticeably shorter stops than the ones you experienced.
On price, booking the five legs separately is certainly possible, and for some travellers that works well. What the package adds is a single booking with connections that line up, and a team to contact if a train or boat runs late – we help with the onward arrangements rather than leaving you to sort them out mid-journey.
Best regards

Thank you for the feedback – we're sorry your ship's schedule changed after you'd booked.
Tickets are issued by the operators for a set date and departure and can't be transferred once the change deadline has passed, but if cruise timings shift we can often help if we hear early enough. Costs like these are also frequently covered by travel insurance.
Do email us at booking@fjordtours.com if you'd like us to look at your booking.

Seamless and Stress Free Norway In A Nutshell Experience
Our experience with Fjord Tours Norway was excellent from start to finish. Everything was extremely well managed, and all the transport connections were seamlessly integrated, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. We didn’t have to worry about timings or logistics at any point.
A special mention for the luggage handling, our bags were transferred promptly and efficiently between destinations, which made traveling even more comfortable. Overall, it was a hassle-free and well-organized experience that allowed us to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Norway.

A magical trip.
I was able to make adjustments to my booking up to the last minute. Every part of the journey was well organised and explained. The bus driver from the fjord was great fun and so helpful. Sadly it was a rail replacement service from Voss to Bergen but the station staff were extremely helpful.
The scenery from the train was so beautiful. We were sat on the left but it looked gorgeous on the right also. The train from Myrdal was charming and old fashioned- more lovely scenery. The boat across the fjord was magical with great information on screens and a lovely cafe for coffee etc.

In a nutshell, indeed.
We really got to see and experience a little bit of everything! Highly recommend. The self-paced development of the tour made it a relaxing way to travel and the directions to connect between all the travel legs were easy to follow. It was fun and breathtaking. Additionally, by extending a few nights in Flåm, we were able to participate in local fjord experiences that checked the box for taking an actual fjord cruise…something that had been on our bucket list. We decided it was better than a cruise because there were less people and we had personalized experiences and stories from the locals. We want to go back and see and experience more!

Thank you for such a wonderful review! We love hearing that the extra nights in Flåm opened up those special local experiences — it's exactly the kind of personalised journey we hope travellers discover. So glad the fjord cruise ticked that bucket list box! Norway has plenty more to offer when you're ready to return, and we'd love to help you plan the next adventure.

The arrangement and coordination between train, ferry, and buses are great. You are a very experienced tour company. I would recommend my friends and all who are visiting Oslo to get Fjord Tours to arrange for the Norway in a nutshell.

Bergen to Oslo
It was a long day and the tour was easy to follow. Locations were within easy distance to walk to, to get to each aspect of travel. Scenery was spectacular! We travelled from Bergen to Oslo in one day. Used the luggage transfer service that made travel easy as did not have to worry about lugging bags. When we got to destination hotel they were ready and waiting.

The best of Norway in a Nutshell
Each leg of the journey - the Voss train, the bus to Gudvangan, the electric boat to Flam, the Flam train and then the train on to Oslo was special - the Fjord boat ride the highlight.

Tour was so incredible. Wish we would’ve had more time on the actual cruise part as the travel between bus and train was quite inconvenient and rushed. Do research on weather and stops offered to get the best experience with planning.

We're glad the cruise left such an impression — the fjords really are something special from the water. We hear you on the pacing, and it's worth knowing that overnight stays in Flåm or Gudvangen can make the journey feel much more relaxed. Great tip too on researching the seasonal stops — it really does make a difference. We hope you'll join us again with a little more time to spare!
