The land of waterfalls and lakes
We arrived to Bergen a couple of days before the day of our Viking cruise on 20th of May. Bergen is named as the capital of fjords. This is truth. We set on a half day trip to the region of Hardangerfjord. This fjord is often called as the Queen of fjords. Amazing landscapes around. Tour was combination of the city sightseeing tour, funicular trip and return tour to the mountain region that is close to bergen. This region is the country of waterfalls and lakes. We managed to visit to waterfalls. One is shaped as bride`s veil, thus get this nickname as Bride`s Veil. Nice day.
Response from the operator: Dear Erik, Thank you very much for your very positive feedback! You are our permanent customer. We appreciate this fact also. We wish you to have as many as possible interesting tours in different countries. We will be happy to see you as our customer in Norway again.

Lunch from fried forest eatable mushrooms beside Gold Fish lake
After our walking tour in Bergen we agreed with our guide to hire him for the tour to Hardanger Fjord. The Fjord and waterfalls along mountain road attracted us and we took on this decision. In addition I had sharp desire to pick up eatable mushrooms as many tourists did with this agency. I have never had chance to try myself in this hobby - picking up of eatable forest mushrooms. After the stop at two amazing waterfalls we arrived to the Gold Fish Lake high up in the mountains. You can see fish of different color coming to the lake shores. It was so interesting process. Mushrooms are hidden in the grass or bushes of juniper. Experienced people can find them also not quickly. You have to know places where they are growing up. It was very delicious lunch! On the way back to Bergen we have visited also fruit farm that was not included in the program. We decided to repeat this tour next year again.
Response from the operator: Dear customer! We are proud that You decided to choose Vinol Tours again. Your positive words about the tour is the main result of our services. We are waiting for you again in Norway. We also can suggest You our tours in all Scandinavian countries. Thank you very much again!

Beautiful waterfalls
I was doubting about buying the whole day trip to Hardanger. December. Cold time. Hardanger is very popular tourist destination area in Central Norway. Thousands of square kilometres of National parks around the second longest fjord in Norway. Finally I bought private tour Bergen - Hardanger - Bergen. 9 hours. Tourist company gave me considerable discount, because 1 day before I ordered walking tour in Old Bergen from the same tourist agency. It was right decision. As all visitors to Norway I wanted to see fjords, mountains and waterfalls. During this trip we have stopped at 3 of very impressive waterfalls. In winter they are not so powerful as in summer but still very impressive. My guide knows so many real stories and legends about places that we have visited that I really was felling spirit of viking times the whole trip. Winter landscapes in Norway are very beautiful
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the review. We are happy that you are satisfied with our tours and level of our services. We appreciate that you gave high scores to our guide services and booked the tour to hardanger after the short walking tour in Bergen. Thank You very much again!

One day in Hardanger
We decided to order the wholeday trip from vinol tours in addition to our Bergen walking tour. I am happy that we decided to do it. All tourists are speaking about Norwegian fjords. This is truth that they are very beautiful. We got more. Two waterfalls, lake with gold fish, and the Queen of fjords - Hardanger fjord. Fosselva river is the sourse for Steindalsfossen, that is the most popular waterfall in the area of Hardanger Fjord. We were walking behind falling water of the waterfall and nothing bad happened with us! Our guide told us that 300 years ago earthquake in the mountains changed the route of Fosselva river that started to fall down from steep kleef. Thus, it was created naturaly safe way for people to walk behind the waterfall and to stay dry-feet. We stayed for the lunch in small restaurant on the the shore of the Hardanger Fjord. On the way back to Bergen the guide teached us how to find in Norwegian forests eatable mushrooms and how to cook them. This is absolutly new experience for me! I think that we will come back to Norway again!
Response from the operator: Thank You very much for Your positive review. You ordered 2 tours and Your satisfaction with our services is very important for us!

Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord cost?
+
Prices start at $1,703 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.
Is Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bride's Veil and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls with sceneries of Hardanger Fjord start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bergen?
+
On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bergen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bergen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
