“De omgeving is prachtig. Het varen op en een RIB-voertuig is een superervaring. we waren als gezin de enige boeker op de dag dat we gingen. Het was wat regenachtig waardoor het landschap er nog ruiger uit zag. Het uitzicht was echt fenomenaal. De gids vertelde veel over de historie en dan met name over de bewoners van het gebied, de tijd van de Vikkingen en de Duitse bezetting tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog maar ook over de wijze waarop de bewoners zich redden in de winter. Echt een bijzondere ervaring.”

He took us to four waterfalls and then in Voss we rode up the Gondola and had lunch at the restaurant (delicious!). He provided great tips (and not just for the tour, but Bergen in general). Highly recommend, much easier taking this tour at our pace instead of with 20+ people on a small bus. Far more comfortable and able to spend the time we want at…”

“It was raining during our tour that was also hindered by road constructions but Lorenzo was accommodating and flexible and made the trip a success. We enjoyed the waterfalls (we actually went under one of them) and going around the Hardangerfjord, shopping and lunch pick up at Voss. We wished we had more time.
