    Worth doing at any time of year
    Lynette_L, Mar 2024
    The most memorable parts were the train ride from Oslo to Myrdal especially when close to Myrdal up where the snow fields are. Also the cruise was great- very beautiful. The Flam railway was interesting but would be better in summer rather than winter. The bus trip and train to Bergen were a necessity but would also be much nicer in the summer. Also the program was easy to follow and connections smooth. No crowds this time of year so could take it easy.
    Would highly recommend an option for staying an extra day in Bergen.

    All phases of the trip were on time and easily managed! Tickets were sent via text or e-mail to make it problem free!
    Fantastic scenery and experience
    Vibeke_T, Dec 2023
    The amazing scenery and the ease of all the connections. It was a spectacular and relaxing journey as there was minimum walking and my 87 year old mother also found it very scenic and relaxing.
    We saw wonderful sights in a short time.
    Leann_P, Sep 2023
    Loved the Flam train and fjord cruise! The night train with the sleeping car was great. The digital ticket process was cumbersome but in the end worked out.
    Tightly organised itinerary, stunning Fjord views
    SujinP, May 2023
    Great itinerary, all very well timed and organised. Tickets were sent immediately after booking so we had peace of mind well ahead of our trip. The train journey from Oslo to Myrdal had absolutely stunning views and was an unexpected highlight. The fjord cruise was amazing and made all the travel time worth it. Only docked one star as the night train from Bergen back to Oslo had very uncomfortable seats - definitely worth paying extra for a sleeping compartment if this option is available.
    The beauty and greatness of nature
    LEONG_S, May 2023
    It is the best experience in all my life of travelling in capturing the beauty of nature. The trip fulfills my expectations and witness the beauty and greatness of nature. The bus driver us exceptionally good and friendly.
    Response from Host, May 2023

    Good but not perfect
    Pankaj, Jul 2022
    This is a good option for those wanting to experience the landscapes of Norway when short of time. But for the price and how packed it is, id recommended doing a more relaxed trip. What disappointed me the most is that there is a strict no refund policy especially when you are paying such a hefty price and when finding replacements doesnt seem difficult. Also, the tour allows only 20 minutes in Flam when the place has the stunning Stegastein Viewpoint to be seen. Missing that out is a shame. Otherwise its a well planned trip with clockwork precision. But value for money, I dont fully think so.
    Quintessential Norwegian experience.
    Philip_A, Jul 2022
    The fjord was beautiful, exactly what I had in mind when I booked my Norwegian vacation. The flam train ride was a pleasant surprise too.
    Awesome views

    It was a good trip but tedious . An overnight in Bergen would have been better. Beautiful sites though
    Response from Host, Sep 2022
    Dear traveller, We are glad that you have appreciated our trip! Oslo - Oslo trip is created for the people, who don't want to overnight in Bergen and have a limited amount of time for sightseeing, so if you have plenty of time, you should consider our Self-Guided Oslo to Bergen tour, which is one way. Best wishes, Elena Easy Travel Team
    Really cool!
    Arjun_R, Jun 2022
    Totally recommend for people traveling to Oslo and wanting a proper fjord, glacier experience. Everything runs smoothly and got back to Oslo in 24 hours
    Norway in a, nutshell..
    sandy0552, Sep 2019
    Our group decided to do the Oslo to Oslo tour. It, was, a fast paced. Twenty two hours, but scenery was majestic. Changing trains. Then buses, and ferries. Drivers.. Both train and bus conductors, and, drivers would stop for photo opportunities and beautiful points of interest. We only had two hours, at, Bergen. But this, trip gave us, a, taste, of, Flam, Myrdal and, Bergen. Someday we will go back to Bergen, This trip was, awesome.

    Irina N, Aug 2017
    Truly enjoyed Norway in a Nutshell tour- Oslo-Oslo. Tour is very well organised and packed with best places to see if you are pressed on time. Scenery is breathtaking and Fjords are magical. Tour is very well planed and timed. Tour is SELF-GUIDED, do your research before hand because there will be none to explain where to look and what to see. When booking tour make sure to contact tour agency to specify if you want OSLO-OSLO or OSLO-BERGEN!!! Arthur tour agent was very helpful and kept in contact with us through our journey to make sure we don't miss any ferries and busses. Make sure to bring your phone charger or power bank- trains go through high elevation and battery tend to drain very fast.

    Excellent ROLEX TIMED TOUR. Tiring to make it in one 24 hours stretch . The trip back to Oslo is never ending ...7 hours plus. Suggest - if you have time - break it and sleep in Bergen .
