6 Day Norwegian Fjords Tour: Oslo, Flåm, Balestrand and Bergen

Begin your remarkable journey through the Norwegian fjords with a private transfer from the airport directly to the heart of the vibrant city of Oslo. Upon your arrival in the bustling city center, you’ll be able to check into your centrally located hotel.

Spend the first day of your Norwegian fjords adventure with one of our friendly guides, for a private 3-hour walking tour of beautiful Oslo. Experience a perfect mixture of old and new, and visit the historical Akershus fortress, completed in the 12th Century.

Walking through the picturesque town, you will arrive at the main street – Karl Johans Gate. Named in honour of King Charles III John, the street is steeped in royal connections and is home to Oslo’s Cathedral, Parliament and the National Theatre. Next, take in the neoclassical Royal Palace and the famous City Hall – where the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony takes place every year.

Ready for more? After the private tour, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the city’s incredible attractions at your own pace.

Invigorated by a perfect breakfast, it’s time to continue your Norwegian fjord tour. And what better way to do so than by exploring Balestrand – an idyllic village on the northern shore of Sognefjord?

Choose between a morning or afternoon express boat, then get the camera ready for some of the most unforgettable sights in the world – away from any hustle and bustle.

Your hotel is just steps away upon arrival, giving you magnificent Sognefjord views in abundance. Enjoy the serenity of the deepest and longest fjord in Norway, before returning to your outstanding hotel for a delectable dinner surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain landscapes. Yet another treasured memory on your trip to the Norwegian fjords.

Today’s highlight is the wonderful city of Bergen. Following a hearty breakfast, take a morning departure to Bergen on another superb boat ride through the Norwegian fjords. After taking in magical waterfalls and scenic landscapes, you’ll be met by a tour guide for the next chapter of your Norwegian fjords adventure.

You will be accompanied on a leisurely walk to your central Bergen hotel, before a captivating 3-hour walking tour in the afternoon. As the capital of Western Norway, many refer to the city as “the gate to the realm of the Norwegian fjords”.

Highlights of the private tour include medieval Hansa Bryggen (The German Wharf), the beautifully preserved Bergen fortress and the famous local fish market. Make your way through the unique narrow streets and take a stop at the city park where you’ll be surrounded by charming greenery.

Along the way you’ll ‘meet and greet’ the statues of famous faces from Norwegian culture – including world-famous composer Edvard Grieg, author Henrik Ibsen and philosopher Ludvig Holberg. There’s even an optional 3-hour tour by Tesla car to the Edvard Greig museum.

After the main tour, you’ll be taken on a spectacular funicular ride to the top of mount Fløien – one of seven striking mountains surrounding the city of Bergen. On top of the world – or so it may seem – you can take in glorious views over the city. A truly outstanding addition to your visit to the Norwegian fjords.

Day five begins with a filling breakfast, followed by a fascinating 4-hour tour of Bergen’s famous fish farm, travelling by car. Celebrated for its fishing traditions, the authentic farm allows you to embrace the true Norwegian way of life and enjoy learning all about how salmon is bred.

After your marine discoveries, take the afternoon to explore Bergen at your leisure. Venture around the city, surrounded by mountains and colourful wooden houses on the old wharf. If you want a little more direction you can join one of our optional tours to learn more about the historic second city of Norway.

On your final day of your Norwegian fjords tour, enjoy your breakfast and make a leisurely departure by shuttle transport to the airport – shuttle ticket included.
