Description
Experience the beauty of Norway’s fjords on this private tour. Marvel at stunning waterfalls, charming villages, and enjoy a scenic cruise along the fjord before riding the iconic Flåmsbana train.
Sit back and relax and let your driver-guide inform you about this incredible piece of Norway. On this private tour, you will experience one of the most beautiful and popular fjord areas in Norway. The narrow and spectacular Nærøyfjord is surrounded by steep mountainsides with snow-covered peaks rising 1,800 meters above sea level, with cascading waterfalls and idyllic villages along the fjord. One of those villages is Gudvangen, which in the Viking Age was an important place for trade. Add to that one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, recommended by National Geographic and Lonely Planet.
