Great Day Hiking! - We had a great day hiking with our guide, Jorgi (I’m sure I spelled that wrong!). The weather wasn’t great and it rained a bit and was foggy so we didn’t have any views, but Jorgi had so much interesting information about Norway and the local plants. We had a great time and it was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Norway.

Amazing private guiding experience. - It was an amazing hike with a great young guide Thomas - he was very friendly and shared lots of great info about life in Norway and the mountains around Bergen. The hike was an easy one (at our request) but the views were amazing. Thomas met us 10 minutes early at the appointed location and drove us in his (very clean) personal car to the trail head. Booking online was easy. Definitely recommend this company.

7 Hills of Bergen - Excellent guide with lots of local knowledge ... good challenge and stunning mountains. We set off with the intention of doing all 7 hills round Bergen ... about 35km and about 2800m. Was myself and 21 yr old daughter. Set off about 8am ... we only did 4 of the 7 (about 28km) because daughter's knee was hurting walking down last mountain (and if being totally honest I was knackered going up ... but then I should have prepared / trained better in advance !!) . The last 3 hills are really a hill plus a couple of peaks where don't go right down and up. Nevertheless, despite not finishing was still an excellent challenge and we both had a great day (finished about 5pm). It is not a particularly technical hike but is not easy either. There is a mixture of paths / stones & rocks / woodland / etc with some quite steep sections. Definitely recommended (scenery, challenge, Tor the guide and Norway Mountain Guides the company) ... hope you do the 7 !
