Best walking tour of Bergen, you won't be disappointed - Don was a great guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. We did a walking tour of Bergen in 80 minutes. It was packed with information and interesting stories. There was a nice balance between the major historical facts of Norway as a country, Bergen as a Hanseatic port and the life of traders and people in Bergen. We also enjoyed talking about Norwegian life, food and language. One of the best walking tours we have been on, many thanks Don

Personable, Tailored Tour - Fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable of historical facts and the lesser known things that only locals know. Very welcoming and kind. Will make you feel like you’re strolling at home with an old friend as you learn and change the way you see everyday Bergen.

Amazing walking tour experience - Don unravelled the past of Bergen with colourful and interesting stories. He was full of warmth and candor, and patiently took us through some back alleys on a cold evening, to help see a different side of Bergen city. It was quite enjoyable and I would highly recommend to go for it.

Best and most promising way to To know Bergen - I have moved to Bergen Last year and this is the first time I get to see Bergen from a different perspective and it’s absolutely blew my mind. Our Guide Don took us around the center of Bergen and connected the dots of history and modern world efficiently by taking us back in time. It was fascinating and very interesting. He holds so much knowledge but also passion for Bergen and Norway. I would 100% recommend him

Best choice. Best guide Don. - Best choice. The 80 minutes tour was perfect for a family with 2 teenagers. Don Sebastian, our guide was great. Very very knowledgable, whether it was about history, politics, fun facts, architectonical curiositats, language... he packed so much knowledge and fun in the tiur, that the teenagers actually participated, asked and país full attention. Ah! And when we asked him for some local but not overpriced restaurants, his recommendations turne out to be the most delicious me'ls we had in Bergen..
In our case, we just came back from 6 days on a Havila boat - so we did not feel like going on a tour including the boat trip again. And the 2 hour tour was too long for us in frezzy Bergen with teenagers.
Absolutely recommemdable, and we wish you, to get assignad to Don. You'll enjoy.

Interesting tour with great historic details. - On a very rainy day we were with a group of 5. Tourguide Ani was a very good guide. He showed us many interesting locations and told a lot of historical facts. After the tour we took the ferry to get a better look at Bergen from the water. I enjoyed it very much.
