Great tour of the city - We were lucky enough to have only two other people in the group so it was almost a private tour experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed both the walking and the boat part of the trip. He stayed with us the whole time. Would book again.

Great walking/boat tour of Bergen - Wonderful tour. We learned a lot about the history of Bergen and Norway. Toured the Fish market, the Hansa area, a UNESCO site, saw a lot of the old and new Bergen. Dan recommended several restaurants and other sites we could visit while in Bergen. The time passed quickly and we would highly recommend this tour.

Very recommended - Very good way to discover and get to know Bergen loan and from afar. Small group, we learn much more than in large groups. Dan is a great Guide, ex-newspaper, who knows how to talk about things that interest.
