Excellent Walking Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Bergen with friendly guide Martin. He was very knowledgeable & informative about contemporary life living in Bergen. We also explored the historical sights of the Bryggen quarter & St Mary’s Church. Most enjoyable even walking in the rain!

Great insight into Bergen. - Wonderful insight into Bergen. Despite the wet & windy conditions, we really enjoyed the walking tour. We learnt so many new and interesting facts about this city, from a historic, cultural and contemporary viewpoint. Our guide Martin was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. He also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants, and a printed guide for lots of extra activities during our stay in Bergen. Due to the changeable weather make sure you have waterproof rain gear and/or umbrella. We would highly recommend this tour.
