Full day and/or overnight tour from Bergen

We are arriving in Bergen in early June and will have 4 full days to tour Bergen and the surrounding area before we head off on NIN (the message from fjordtours says processing so hopefully nothing goes wrong) to Oslo.

We plan on doing 2 full days of sightseeing in Bergen and this leaves us with 2 full days to see the surrounding area.

We need help with planning the 2 days outside Bergen.

So far we are thinking of maybe:

A long day fjord cruise to Eidfjord (starts with a bus ride from Bergen to Norheimsund);

A ferry from Bergen to Balestrand, stay overnight and ferry back to Bergen the next day;

An overnight tour to by Glaciertour.no "Cidery-taste-tour-to-balestrand-and-fjrland-2-days-tour" assuming it is offered this year;

OR

Rent a car and make our own overnight itinerary (suggestions on a route with stops and where to stay overnight would be appreciated).

Other suggestions are welcome.

Renting a car is not our first choice because we end up spending most of the time looking at the road and not enjoying the trip.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Rent a car and make our own overnight itinerary (suggestions on a route with stops and where to stay overnight would be appreciated).

Drive Hardanger scenic route and overnight in Utne, Odda, Voss or Eidfjord. Use also ferries to / from Utne. Add Flåm / Gudvangen for Stegastein, Flåmsbana and Nærøyfjord the second day before returning to Bergen. Avoid days with cruise ships in Flåm port.

And believe me: you will enjoy this car round trip. Been there with own car a few times.
