Get started here! - Our guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic. I thoroughly enjoyed Bergen by foot and boat. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating, and clearly enjoys his work. This was a great way to get a good overview of Bergen and its rich history. I am looking forward to seeing more of Bergen.

So much information to provide great context to the city - We book the tour to get a nice overview of Bergen during a short 2-night stay. Don was super friendly and had so much information to provide great context to the city. Only one other guest was on the tour, which made it really intimate. We found that taking the walking tour and the ferry to see Bergen from the sea was a great option. Don even left us with a list of recommended spots in town. Highly recommend!!

Informativ and funny tour 😊 - We had a great and very informativ private tour (3-4 h) with Don in Bergen - Norway. We started at Fisketorget and went by ferry to one of the islands, later we went to the old part Brygge and other parts of the older city.
Don gave us an insight about Bergen and the life of the Bergenser. Beside that we got a lot of great tipps for meals and coffee and "schillings boller" and more sightseeing ideas.
We have booked the tour with the tourist office. An absolutely recommended tour with a great and funny tour-guide.

Nice introduction to the city including nice photo opportunities. - A fun tour with beautiful photo opportunities. A friendly guide who tells you a lot about Bergen in an enthusiastic way and is just as interested in all your questions and where you come from.

Highly recommend this experience! - My son and I booked a tour of Bergen. Little did we know what we were in for... An intimate tour from hill to sea, with new stories and histories filling every nook and niche. Our guide was entertaining and studiously well-read, making for a wonderful companion, and even offering us a local favourite for food we otherwise wouldn't have found - best meal of our trip! This was the second-to-last day of our trip, and my son and I both found ourselves wishing we had booked the tour sooner: our walks were all the better for knowing Bergen's true colours.
