What an amazing experience - The experience was amazing! The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and an absolute delight to listen to. It wasn’t just the information provided, but it was told in such a fun way , that you don’t feel the time passing. I learnt so much on that tour, and I was so lucky to be by myself and ask all kind of question. I recommend this to anyone visiting Bergen.

Starting point of getting to know Bergen. - Starting from the ferry riding and then walking around the historic area, our guide Dan gave us lots of information on the history of Bergen and the architecture of the era. If you spend only one or two days in Bergen, this tour is a must.

A Taste of Bergen - Ani was an incredible guide, cannot recommend him enough! He was very accommodating and tailored the tour perfectly for my boyfriend and I. We did the two hour tour and it was a wonderful taste of Bergen with tons of information. Because of Ani we will definitely be back to Bergen, a beautiful city.

Very friendly, informative guide on walking and ferry tour - We booked this tour, expecting to be in a larger group.
It turned out to be just myself and my wife, so we virtually had a private tour!
Our guide, Anni ( apologies for the spelling) was a lovely friendly gentleman.
Even though it was just the 2 of us, he was really enthusiastic, and gave us a thorough run down of Bergen’s history, and lots of other useful tips for some other activities.
A great experience, that was over too soon!
Highly recommend

What a great tour!! - The experience was amazing.
Ani (I might have misspelled his name) did such an amazing job. He is a wealth of knowledge and the way he told the history and everything was absolutely great. I learnt so much. This is not one of those boring tours where someone just tells the history. It was interactive, this is a must do if you are in Bergen.
I was so lucky to be the only person for the evening tour and Ani took me everywhere, still explained everything in detail and even offered to take pictures.
Great experience !

Fantastic guided tour of Bergen with Don – history and insider knowledge - Our tour with Don was an absolute highlight in Bergen! Actually planned as a group tour, we were very lucky to get a private tour – and that made the experience even more intense.
We started with a scenic ferry ride to one of the offshore islands. Already here Don gave us exciting insights into the history and importance of the port. Then we explored the most beautiful corners of Bergen on foot. He led us not only to the famous sights, but also to real insider tips!
Don combined historical facts with fascinating anecdotes and repeatedly built bridges to German history. His stories about the Hanseatic period and the close economic and cultural links between Bergen and Germany were particularly exciting.
His sense of humor, passion for the city and his sense of detail made the tour unique. If you don't just want to see mountains, but really want to understand them, Don is the place to be! Highly recommended!

An Absolute Must! - What an absolute find! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Don was my guide and he took me on a wonderful story telling journey throughout the streets of Bergen. Amazingly he also managed to tailor some of the tour to my interests. The ferry ride was an added bonus as was the helpful handout listing some interesting facts about Bergen. Don answered all my questions with enthusiasm and went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful time and I most certainly did1 Thanks so much Don!
