Overall, our tour and cruise starting in Helsinki on 1 November 2025 was enjoyable. However, we were very disappointed with the Flam Railway segment of our ‘Norway in a Nutshell’ day trip. Our train from Flam to Myrdal was scheduled for 4:30pm, just as it was getting dark. Consequently, we missed all the 'spectacular scenery' highlighted in the tour notes. I later asked the conductor about earlier train options and learned there were many seats available on the 2:30pm train, which other tourists took. While they enjoyed the return trip, we had to wait for two hours in Flam, seeing nothing but darkness. The stop at a waterfall, lit by colored lights, felt unsafe due to the icy ground. This poor scheduling made for a very long day; after starting in Bergen at 8am, we didn’t reach Oslo until 10:30pm. I suggest considering an overnight stay in Flam or rescheduling the Flam to Myrdal train to an earlier time.
