Il n'y a pas Zéro étoile, sinon c'est ce que j'aurais choisi ! service commercial NUL ; dommage que je n'avais pas lu tous ces avis avant de réserver le train de Flam pour notre excursion durant notre croisière. La compagnie a décidé la veille, à cause d'une tempête, de partir plus tôt, nous avons averti la compagnie de chemin de fer la veille de la réservation ; le matin, sur place, pas moyen de décaler le billet, ni d'avoir un remboursement. Deux mails envoyés, ils ne veulent rien savoir 165 euros de jeté par les fenêtres !

Don't book,
Due to bad weather our ship will be leaving port early so we couldn't do the train as planned. We got to the ticket office at 7am, to see if we could change to an earlier one. We were met with the most unhelpful people I have ever met. They wouldn't consider changing our train although there were still 272 seats available. As for a refund, NO CHANCE. It was a very expensive and stressful experience, I work hard for my money so please don't waste yours

We were supposed to go on a cruise to Flaam, but due to bad weather, we had to leave the harbour early, so we couldn't make it to our booked trip. I can see that they have plenty of seats left on several trips that left earlier. But we weren't allowed to rebook. Terrible service. I would be very careful about booking with them; they just want your money.

We booked the Hike & Bike package for the Flåm Railway and ended up paying for bike rentals we never used because of the confusing booking process.
The website showed bicycles next to the package, which made it look like we could choose our bikes online. Only after arriving did we discover that this option belonged to a different package and thus paid double the bikes. By then, it was too late to cancel or request a refund.
Despite explaining the situation and providing our booking numbers, Norwaysbest refused to refund the three unused bikes package, at least one of it would have been nice. They then told us that we should have spoken with the bike operators which we did but they couldn't help us, as they said Norways best is using a third party provider tool and only the could have refunded us! Sending us in a circle and sitting on the money is not customer friendly. Especially because on that rain day NO ONE was using the bikes and they had plenty of them left. We spent around 10,000 NOK in total and received no flexibility or goodwill.
The user interface is poorly designed, and customers end up paying for unclear information. A company at this price level should take responsibility for a confusing booking system instead of making travelers bear the cost.
In general it seems Norway people do not understand customer service and just try to avoid the customers concerns.

Jeg bestilte en tur gjennom Norway’s Best, og alt gikk helt perfekt. Turen var godt organisert, guiden var kunnskapsrik, og hele opplevelsen ble uforglemmelig.

The bikes are low quality and have no bells on them as is required by law in Norway...too expensive to fit all those bikes with bells? So who is liable when you ride their bike but have an accident with a pedestrian walking the Flam footpath..of which there are many??

We booked a trip in Flam with Norways Best to tour the fjords via Naeroyfjord cruise. It got cancelled at the last minute so we had no time to book anything ahead. We were stuck in long lines trying to book anything as most things were sold out. We really wanted to tour the fjords by boat.
They convinced us the only thing available was the Stegastein viewpoint at $103 so we booked it. Then we left the office and found the Safari company where we were able to book a small boat through the fjords. By the time we went back to cancel the viewpoint, stood in the wrong unmarked line for trains, had to start over in another line, the woman informed us we couldn't cancel. This is horrible customer service! She wasn't the least apologetic either. The whole fiasco was the fault of Norway's Best, but we got charged. I will never book with you again and will tell everyone I know not to book with you. Very poor service!

As many other said before avoid them ! There is no service, they just have a site and you book everything yourself and if something goes wrong they - if you find them- say it’s your problem, they are covered by the small letters in their site. If you like this kind of service go on and keep making them rich . I prefer other companies who care for the customer. There are others! And they offer the same. Look them up!

We booked for a package train / bike and zip line but we couldn’t do it because of the tempest Floris. The agency refuse to reimburse or find a solution (postpone). The just told us it was a normal weather for Norway! You don’t put children on bike or zip lane even if it is open (the argue of the agency) ! Result : more than 400€ lost!! Thank you for your client service !

Noi abbiamo comprato i biglietti per la flamsbana. È un treno che ti porta fino a Mirdhal a vedere tutto il panorama bellissimo con spettacolo finale nella cascata con musica. Circa 72 euro a persona. Museo del treno. Gratis. Eccellente
Complimenti

Liegezeit während der Kreufahrt geändert, die Stornierungszeit war 2h zu spät, die Information erhielten wir jedoch von Kapitän erst dann. Kein Entgegenkommen von Norways Best. Zug bezahlt für 6 Personen und kein Mitfahren möglich, sonst hätten wir das Schiff verpasst. Keine gute Option für Kreufahrttouristen!!

Best of Norway tour from Flam. We were running late, 3 minutes late. I accept that and while I was outside looking around the building for transportation. My wife went in to BON office and she asked were the tour was. The lady said you were late "that is your problem". Zero customer service, zero compassion my wife was in tears. I lost my cool with them. Love to post picture of the rude lady. When I went the corp, they said you were 6 minutes late (6 minutes, in the town of Flam 6 buildings) The management team responded to my email. our employees in Flam would never say that, so no refund, no anything, ypu were rude. a
It is illegal to post picture, I will post.
FLAM team awful. Sales manager does not understand.
How easy would have been if she would have said "I am sorry, they left, I can try to help you"
By the way they had all out contact info never called cell.
Use another company.
Dont use Flam Best of Norway.

Hello,
We were in Oslo over the weekend and booked a fjord tour online. The tour operator provided the wrong address! We deliberately ended up at the wrong address. Our entire Saturday was wasted! Furthermore, the operator was NEVER reachable, NO contact, and the address was incorrect. After several attempts, the tour operator responded rudely and blamed us. A disgrace and definitely not recommended! We're young and also saved money on this trip. Canceling would have been the least of our worries! NEVER AGAIN!

If I could put zero stars I would. After communicating with another couple who just returned from Norway and got ripped off from this company I decided to hopefully ward off people to not use them.
I had booked a stay at one of their hotels in Flam for one night
Unfortunately I had a health issue and missed our opportunity to use the booking.
When I reached out many times by phone to the Freitheim hotel they absolutely refused to credit our stay to go towards another night at their hotel.
Our friends that we spoke with this evening had a similar situation with a transportation service they needed to change which of course they refused.
Steer clear of this company. They are making money hand over fist and have no idea what true customer service means.

Kom på tiden. Sjåføren var dyktig og hyggelig.

Worst costumer service! STAY AWAY!
Booked a ticket less than 24 hours before departure, but website changed arrival/departure back to standard, called costumer service when they opened and was just told that they could do nothing because of their policies.

We enjoyed a comfortable and truly beautiful fjord cruise through the Nærøyfjord. Most appreciated of all was the crew going out of their way to stop in Undredal the following day to pick up a bag I’d accidentally left behind at the dock! They kindly delivered it to the Flåm visitors center where I retrieved it on my way back through the area later that week. A huge thank you to everyone who helped me out! :)

Unprofessional. Buses don’t arrive, angry drivers, confusing costumer service. At least the give refunds. DO NOT USE unless you have no other option.

Great experience. Lovely railway carriage with spectacular views all along the route and a quick stop at the amazing KJosfossen waterfall. Left and arrived on time. Well organised for getting on. Good communication from Norway's Best as well. Thank you.

Worst experience in Norway! I wanted to book from Flam bikes from Flam for me, my husband and my child (1 years old aged). The website is not clear and get you easily wrong during the booking. I called twice from Italy the unique telephone number I found on the the website to have more informations, the 2 girl which I spoke with were terribly not informed and not sure about what to answer to me. BUT one said to me that I could not attack the child seat to an electric bike , but there were no problem for the child trailer. I AM SURE OF THIS ANSWER. So I booked online 2 electric bikes and 1 child trailer. When we arrived we waited long and then the guy there , in a brutal way, said us that we can use just a normal bike with the trailer. OH NO, but OK I said, if it s not possible to do in other way. But NO REFOUND for the challenge of the bike. I mean, WHY??? The price was already very high, and I didn't want to pay more than was correct. He was ablsolutely not sorry and just said it was explicated in the website (???the website sucks) and said me that the number I called was not right ( ????there were no other numbers)....simply he didn't care.. stay away from them, bicycles are nice but they are NOT CORRECT
