The cruise we booked originally was cancelled last minute as there was an engine issue with the boat but the company arranged an alternative trip or we could have a refund if wanted. We opted for the alternative trip. The Mostraumen & Osterfjord cruise was truly breathtaking with magnificent views of the rugged cliffs, quaint villages & hamlets dotted along the banks reminiscent of ‘Moominvalley’ and beautiful waterfalls everywhere we looked. I cannot comment on The Alversund Streams cruise, I’m sure it is wonderful but we were not disappointed with the alternative cruise provided.

Everything worked great with GetYourGuide, but it was difficult with the actual organizer. We only received all the information very late, which was a bit exhausting for us in the planning (16 hours before the start of the trip). The trip itself was very nice! Unfortunately we were not able to do the full cruise due to weather conditions but a replacement was arranged. We liked the Flam Railway best, followed by the shortened boat trip. It is a long journey and we would recommend taking plenty of provisions with you. Since we traveled in winter, a cafe/restaurants were closed.

Great way to explore Norway in a day without any of the hassle. We had a wonderful time and found the tour super comprehensive. What I will call out is however that we did not receive the details of the tour (including when we would depart Oslo the next morning, which was before 7:00 am) until the night before which made it difficult to plan. We had booked the tour weeks before and a bit more input woudlve been largely helpful.

The pickup is punctual and the driver give us some inside about Norway. It’s great pleasure to meet up with nice tour guide Paul and Po (hopefully I spell the name correctly). It’s great trip throughout the whole journey for this private trip especially when you’re traveling with family and dragging with luggages. Overall great experience.

It was a great trip. All the tickets were taken care of and going to the different modes of transportation was easy. I was even able to upgrade my overnight train seat to Oslo to a sleeper car and get some good night sleep. I did this at the train station when I boarded.
