About this activity

(For group size more than 6 people, contact us). This tour allows you to explore Bergen and the surrounding fjord region in a single road trip. Experience Norway’s urban charm and rural allure in 8 hours. After all, Bergen is known as the gateway to the fjords.

Get on board our Tesla Model X seven-seater for a trip from the prettiest urban space in Europe to breathtaking Norwegian landscapes. You can go to places otherwise not easily accessible to travellers on a bus or any modes of public transport.

Take in Bergen’s historical wharf, quaint timber buildings and a fairytale church with a twisted story – along with the Queen of the Norwegian fjords and one of Norway’s most-visited waterfalls (even walk behind it!). Listen to the stories as captivating as the landscape.

This is a private tour. You can stop for a photo or a coffee wherever you want to. You can even customize it by talking to your experienced and friendly driver-guide.
