    What you'll see and do

    1. Bergenhus Fortress

      This is a short round-trip by car to the amazing Osterfjord area. Our professional driver-guide picks you up at your hotel in Bergen centre (or cruise ship port) and our tour starts. Departure is usually at 9:00am unless otherwise agreed.  Leaving Bergen we drive past some of the sights. The Medieval fortress of Bergenhus is one of them.

      1 minutes here

    2. From Bergen, we will travel to the Osterfjord – a fjord that surrounds one on the largest continental islands in Europe – Osterøy island, 127 square miles (330 km2). Our first stop is at the viewpoint right after crossing the bridge over the fjord.

      10 minutes here

    3. Returning to mainland, we move on to Dale, where the famous sweater factory is located – “Dale of Norway”. We can visit the factory outlet and maybe pick up some woolen souvenirs there.

      20 minutes here

    4. From Dale we take one of lesser-known roads going north: steep mountains, narrow fjords and secluded villages along the way. Our next stop is at the Stone Age settlement on the Bolstadfjord: a short walk on a moderately steep trail is required.

      30 minutes here

    5. Moving on we come to yet another narrow fjord – the Eidsfjord – and make a stop at the magical Hesjedalsfossen waterfall: one of the most iconic sights, and yet an offbeat attraction.

      10 minutes here

    6. Mo

      We continue our journey and reach Mo (pronounced “Moo”) – a cosy village between two waterfalls: Geitaskaret and Kvernhusfossen. Here we can have lunch at a small restaurant/café overlooking the Mofjord and Geitaskaret waterfall.

      40 minutes here

    7. Leaving Mo, we make a short stop at the Kvernhusfossen waterfall before returning to Bergen – an almost non-stop 1.5-hour drive.  In the winter, some of the waterfalls and fjords may be frozen.

      15 minutes here

    8. Our next and last stop on this tour is at the Mostraumen strait - the 600 meters long, very narrow channel connecting two fjords. During the tide there is a strong current here and, of course, an amazing view (regardless of the tide).

      15 minutes here

    9. On our way back to Bergen we'll continue our ride along the Osterfjord - now to the west of Osterøy island. (Usually we do not stop here.)

      1 minutes here

    10. Before returning to Bergen we will cross the fjord on the second longest bridge in Norway - the Nordhordlandsbrua - part floating part suspension bridge. (Usually we do not stop here)

      1 minutes here

    Truly Exceptional

    My wife and I were recently in Bergen, Norway after ending a Viking Norway cruise. We decided to remain a few days and see the Bergen area on our own. We were so fortunate that we discovered Vlad and Jana Morozov, the owner/operators of Jandis Tours. They picked us up at the cruise port as we disembarked the ship and we took off from there. Wow ! We spent an entire day with Jana and another entire day with Vlad. When it was over, Jana picked us up at the hotel and took us to the airport. We just cannot say enough great things about them. They were great ! They were always prompt and had great suggestions. Because of them, we were able to see fjords, waterfalls , small villages and other sites that most people never see. If you are ever in Bergen and thinking of a guided tour, you will not find anyone better than Vlad and Jana. They are truly exceptional !

    Response from the operator: Dear Buddy, thank you so much for your kind review! It means a lot to us that you had such a positive experience. We're looking forward to the chance to make your next trip just as amazing! Sincerely, Vlad

    Authentic tour of REAL Norway! Scenic views were amazing! Tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating for all ages

    Away from the crowds, this trip allows visitors to experience authentic Norway. Beautiful views. Scenic vistas. Interesting tour guide who was so friendly and knowledgeable - he even paired the drive with the perfect music to highlight the experience. We were able to stop and explore sites and places most visitors to Bergen would never have the chance to experience. We capped the afternoon off with a picnic lunch in a Norwegian village amidst touring fjords and scenic waterfalls. Great experience for all ages and abilities in the comfort of a personal and comfortable vehicle. Would highly recommend to families, couples, or individuals who are seeking to explore and experience a day away from the crowded tour buses. A true authentic Norwegian adventure!

    Response from the operator: Dear Kara, Thank you very much for the review and booking the tour with us! I am very glad that all of you enjoyed this trip. Hope to see you and your friends and relatives in Norway. Sincerely, Vlad

    Best tour I have ever done!

    This is the best tour I have ever done! Vlad made the day so much fun and it was so interesting learning about the secrets of the fjords. Everything had been thought about, down to the music that Vlad played as we drove through the fjords and tunnels and the refreshments he had made for us. I can’t recommend this tour enough, we saw things we would have never known existed without the knowledge of a local :) Truly the secrets of the fjords!

    Response from the operator: Dear Lauren, Thank you so much for the review. I am enjoying my job a lot when you like the tour. Best wishes and I hope to see all of you again! Yours sincerely, Vlad

    GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.

    How much does GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $769 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 GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours?

    +

    Around 4 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours 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.

    What is included in GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours?

    +

    Is GUIDED TOUR: Secrets of the Fjords - the Osterfjord and Mo, 6.5 hours wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
