What you'll see and do
Bergen
Our tour starts in the city of Bergen - the Gateway to the Fjords. The city was founded in 1070 and contains many historical and cultural landmarks. We will pass some of them on our way from the city and also on our return to Bergen.
1 minutes here
Osteroy Municipality
Sørfjorden or the South fjord is part of the Osterfjord which is a peculiar natural phenomenon: an salt water inlet that surrounds the largest inland island in Northern Europe - Osterøy Island - enclosed by contitental land. We drive along the South fjord until we come the the crossroads in Trengereid. (Usually we do not stop here.)
1 minutes here
From the village of Trengereid we take Route #7 to the Hardangerfjord. (Usually we do not stop here.)
1 minutes here
Hardangervegen or the Hardanger Road is Norwegian route #7. This road is a tourist attraction in itself. We will see beautiful sights along the way: mountains, lakes and waterfalls. On the way to the Hardangerfjord we will make two photo stops at 2 waterfalls: Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen.
1 minutes here
We make a stop at Fossen Bratte waterfall - 259 feet (79 meters) tall. The view is great and you can take some memorable pictures here. A short walking tour to the bottom of the waterfall is highly recommended - you simply must feel the roaring freshness and gentle and pure water drops on your face.
20 minutes here
Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall
The next stop is at Steinsdalsfossen waterfall - 164 feet (50 meters) tall. You can actually walk behind the falling water without getting wet. A walk behind the waterfall to the view point is highly recommended.
25 minutes here
Hardanger Fjord
The Hardangerfjord is the second longest fjord in Norway. We will be travelling along the fjord to Vangdal - a view point where we will make our next stop.
1 minutes here
After leaving Norheimsund we come to Vangdal. We make a stop at the outlook over the fjord not only to enjoy the view, but also to visit two sights with stone carvings. There is some walking involved down and up moderately steep trails to see the petroglyphs from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age.
30 minutes here
Hardanger Fjord
We continue our jourley along the fjord. Enjoy the views: natural beauty of the scenery with small quaint villages scattered along the coast. There are a lot of fruit farms on the Hardangerfjord. During summer we can stop at a couple of fruit stands and buy some fruits and berries (available in season).
1 minutes here
Our next stop is at the little hill called Omaholmen with a stunning view of the Hardangerfjord - one of the best views in the area. After that we'll be driving farther along the Hardangerfjord.
15 minutes here
We will pass the village of Mundheim and head towards the neighbouring fjord - the Fusafjord. (Usually we do not stop here.)
1 minutes here
We cross the Fusafjord on a car ferry. The ferry ride takes approx. 15 minutes. While on the ferry, we can leave the car and enjoy a different view of the fjord.
20 minutes here
Osoyro
After disembarking the ferry we pass through a small town of Osøyro before returning to Bergen. (Usually we do not stop in Osøyro.) Our tour ends in Bergen.

A fantastic day with Vlad
We had a beautiful, incredible, sunny day on this tour with Vlad. We toured the Hardanger Fjoyd, waterfalls, and pretty villages along the way. Our stop at a homestead for lunch with the charming owner was very special. Vlad was very informative about the places we visited and a super nice man. We had an enjoyable day. Thank you so much! Bonnie
Response from the operator: Dear Bonnie, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We're glad you had a great experience with us and hope to see you again. Sincerely, Vlad

A Very Relaxing and Enjoyable Day!
What an exciting surprise to be picked up in a Tesla X with gull wing doors! This vehicle was extremely comfortable and afforded excellent scenic views through the generously-sized windows. Our guide, Jana, is a lovely person who offers the right amount of commentary to keep things interesting. The itinerary was quite nice, giving us amazing fjord views and the opportunity to visit two beautiful waterfalls. Steindalsfossen is absolutely stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the power of the waterfall as we walked behind it and the breathtaking view of the town and countryside from the observation deck! We also participated in an optional farm to table lunch, featuring carrot soup and a wonderful selection of area specialties. The proprietress (Anna?) was energetic and quite interesting to talk with. The only callout is that the farm to table experience was pricier than we thought, so check first if you have a budget for lunch that you are trying to stay within. Overall this tour was a fantastic experience, and we are pleased to highly recommended it to those with a day available in Bergen!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for leaving us a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed this private tour. I agree that Norwegian prices for meals and beverages in restaurants/cafes are high, especially for alcoholic drinks. So that the final price for a meal might be higher than expected. Welcome back to Bergen and our beautiful fjords another time!

One of my favorite tours ever! Jana is amazing!
My friends and I went on a private tour with Jana who was incredible. She was super knowledgeable, engaging, entertaining, and very gracious and accommodating. We made several stops including a few extra at our request, and lunch at the farm was very memorable. Highly highly recommend this tour and THANK YOU again Jana!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for leaving us a review. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour. Welcome again another time!

PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $1,318 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 126 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours?
+
Around 44 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 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 PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours?
+
Included: Local guide; Bottled water; Hotel/port pickup; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Driver/guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 46 listed pickup locations in and around Bergen. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR: Queen of the Fjords - tour from Bergen, 6 hours offered in?
+
