City Siteseeing - Great way to see and learn about Bergen. This private tour covers the city and includes many of the historic sites, including the mountain tram. The tram offers a great view of all of Bergen.

A Fun Bergen Day! - Reysa is a wonderful professional guide who showed me the beautiful sites of Bergen. He shared the long history and events of the city through stories and I even got to share tea with his partner and dog. A great day!

Tour Like A Local - Alessandra was fabulous! This is the first time we had done a 'tour like a local' and we loved it. She brought us to places that we would have never found on our own.

Private tour is the best way to go - A fantastic private tour that takes us literally all over the city from the top to the wharf along the cobblestone streets and into the neighborhoods. Not only did we get information on how people are living today our guide even had Internet photos of what it looked like back at different times in the history. Shared with us the different Countries that have occupied Bergen and explained why the city is built as it is on an active seaport based around fishing in timber. Couple streets were amazing and the tiny pathways between the small wooden homes definitely needed a guide so you would not get lost! The fish market with his fresh seafood was a delight and really enjoyed the funicular to the top of the mountain to see the view of all Bergen. Pointing out the historical features from the dates on the buildings to the special designs that indicated what type of business it was all the way down to the special colors of paint on the houses indicating the wealth of the neighborhood the historical tower and Fort were amazing to have been built so long ago. Perfect weather ordered for a day walking around the town we covered almost 10 miles in and out of the tiny corridors and special areas of Bergen.

Great guide - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. - Tommy is an outstanding guide through beautiful Bergen. As we walked the old town, he shared the highlights of the history and geography of the town. He was also very open to sharing about life in Norway. Also gave us excellent tips about other stops on our trip.

Not a Local Guide - Our tour guide, Bright, was super friendly, polite, and spoke English very well. He was a third-year college student from Ghana and communicated perfectly before the tour, asking what we wanted to see and arranging when and where to meet. However, he wasn’t quite what we expected in terms of a “local” guide. We were hoping for someone who had spent most of their life in the area and could share deeper insights into the local lifestyle, hidden food spots, and unique community facts.

Not worth it - This by far has got to be one of the worst walking tours we have had. We walked in silence for the most part. I had to ask about the buildings , landmarks and statues. The answers were a few brief words and that was it. Did not learn anything from the guide about the history and culture of Bergen. We saw other guides and would have much rather been a part of their group. The gentleman was nice and friendly but lacked the knowledge and enthusiasm I would have expected . Definitely not worth what we paid for. We could have just walked around ourselves for free.
