Ride Norway’s Rauma Railway from Åndalsnes to Bjorli for mountain views, waterfalls, 32 bridges, wartime history, and expert commentary.
“Amazing trip. Beautiful scenery and great commentary to go with it. The train had hot and cold drinks and snacks and toilets. The only thing you have to be mindful of is the tour is 2 1/2 hours only even if you get stuck waiting for freight trains to pass through (as we did on two occasions) so your time at the other end off the train may be limited to only 10 minutes as apposed to the 30 advertised. However to be honest the little museum at the end takes only a couple of minutes and there is nothing else around there unless you want to take lots of…”

Review of Oslo to Sognefjord by car, fjord cruise, and Flåm Railway, with honest advice on value, timing, crowds, guides, and what to expect.
“We had a great time with Janis on our tour! We booked kind of late but they helped us to make it all work even with lack of tickets for the train at the time we originally wanted to go. Janis was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. Most importantly he was a great driver, and I’m glad of that because we went in the winter. He was a great companion for the drive and if he did not know the answer to our questions he was honest about that (to be fair, I ask a LOT of random questions). I would recommend this trip, and I would do it again. The…”
