Self guided tour from Bergen to Oslo
Unable to download tickets finally received the morning we were leaving. They were issued wrong- we were leaving Bergen to Oslo but tickets issued leaving Oslo to Bergen. Ticket agent recommended purchasing the last leg in case tickets were close to being sold out. Cost us another $75 each. Flam train broke down shortly after leaving. Took an additional 3 hours and we finally boarded buses to get to Oslo arriving there at 12:45 am in lieu of scheduled 10:30 pm. We understand train breakdowns happen and no one’s fault. We were disappointed to miss the Flam RR experience plus having to pay additional money.
Response from the operator: Dear traveller, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear that your journey didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Regarding the ticket issue, I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive them on the morning of your departure — especially with the incorrect direction initially showing. I sincerely apologise for that mix-up and the additional cost you incurred. We always recommend that guests carefully review their tickets upon receipt and well ahead of their travel date, as mentioned in the itinerary, so that any issues can be addressed in time. As for the Flam Railway breakdown — while these types of disruptions are fortunately rare, I understand how disappointing it was to miss that part of the journey and to arrive in Oslo later than scheduled. I appreciate your understanding that this was outside of anyone’s control, and I truly regret the inconvenience it caused. We’re constantly working to improve the experience for our guests, especially during the busy travel season, and your feedback is very helpful in that effort. Thank you again, and I hope the rest of your time in Norway brought memorable moments. Br, Easy Travel team.

A wonderful way to see the beauty of Norway
What a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Norway. It was a long day but we’re so glad we did this. The views were amazing and it was very easy to get to each leg of the journey. Highly recommend!

DIY fjord trip had challenges but was spectacular !
Hi we had a nice trip on the fjord, however it was quite a long trip to Flam via the comfortable ferry. Flam was amazing and sensation views as the weather was sunny for us and we stayed 1 night in the Svengen guesthouse bordering on the Fjord. Sadly the train trip to Oslo was broken up due to previous train being derailed and we had to transfer to VY coaches. We eventually reached Oslo around 7.30pm

Not worth it
This trip was not worth booking through Viator. Other than providing the tickets (which you can buy yourself), there was no other service.

A great day!
The trip was beautiful and a great use of time if you only have one day and wish to travel from Bergen to Oslo. If I had it to do over again and had the time, I would drive, and definitely spend more time along the way.

Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $417 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 Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise?
+
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 Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise?
+
Around 5 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Self-Guided Full Day: Bergen To Oslo with 5-h Sognefjord cruise 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?
+

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.
