We've been on several private, full-day, car-and-boat tours in the southwest of Norway, and this one was particularly great. Our tour guide, Vlad, went out of his way to show us some very special places that are off the typical tourist route. For example, the small, local car ferry from Vik stopped at numerous isolated, small farms at different points along the fjord, to drop off people with their supplies and to deliver mail to the local inhabitants who waited on their docks. Observing these intimate details of daily life provided a unique window to further showcase the incredibly beautiful fjord and vistas. Also, we rode up high into the mountains, which allowed spectacular views from a different perspective, and included a secret surprise destination.
It was great to spend the day with Vlad, who is highly personable and knowledgeable. Our tour was worth every krone.
