3.Viking Village, Nærøyfjorden Cruise and Flåm Railway

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 155 reviews · 12 hours · from $435

Travel from Bergen by Mercedes minibus to Tvindefossen and Njardarheimr Viking Village, then cruise Nærøyfjorden and ride the Flåm Railway back to Bergen. English-speaking guides such as Thomas, Geir, Stig, and Bjarte lead the road portion, while the final train journey is unaccompanied.

“The minibus was very comfortable and Geir was an excellent driver and a very informative guide. Adding personal experiences to his commentary gave more insight into the Norwegian way of life. He left us at the Viking Village but gave us very clear instructions for boarding the boat for the fjord cruise and the Flam and Bergen trains. A guided tour of the Viking Village is included in the price. It is optional but well worth joining as you only have a limited time in the village. The boat was a lot bigger than I expected. There was plenty of inside seating but, as it was a fine, sunny day…”
