Amazing Tour of Bergen - My husband and I had an amazing personal tour of Bergen. We learned so much about the history as well as the current daily life. Our guide was so knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Two hours was the perfect length.

Rich cultural experience in Bergen - We had a wonderful time touring Bergen with Teresita. From the Bergen funicular to the fish market, walking through Bryggen Hanseatic wharf with its historic architecture, visiting St. Mary’s Church, all the while learning the culture and customs of this beautiful social democratic country. Teresita helped us understand the reasoning behind certain customs and what makes a foreigner reside, love and thrive in this colorful city. Thanks for the great tour and the rich knowledge shared!

Amazing tour guide! - Reza met me at my hotel, introduced himself and we hit it off immediately. He was very personable and friendly. We mostly walked in the UNESCO area and he told me all kinds of great stories and gave me great information! We then went up the funicular for amazing views. If you request this tour in Bergen, ask for Reza. He is fantastic!!!

City Siteseeing - Great way to see and learn about Bergen. This private tour covers the city and includes many of the historic sites, including the mountain tram. The tram offers a great view of all of Bergen.

A Fun Bergen Day! - Reysa is a wonderful professional guide who showed me the beautiful sites of Bergen. He shared the long history and events of the city through stories and I even got to share tea with his partner and dog. A great day!

Too bad but neatly resolved - Unfortunately, the guide had fallen ill and was not reachable. However, neatly resolved and the money we had paid in advance was refunded within 48 hours.

Not a Local Guide - Our tour guide, Bright, was super friendly, polite, and spoke English very well. He was a third-year college student from Ghana and communicated perfectly before the tour, asking what we wanted to see and arranging when and where to meet. However, he wasn’t quite what we expected in terms of a “local” guide. We were hoping for someone who had spent most of their life in the area and could share deeper insights into the local lifestyle, hidden food spots, and unique community facts.

Not worth it - This by far has got to be one of the worst walking tours we have had. We walked in silence for the most part. I had to ask about the buildings , landmarks and statues. The answers were a few brief words and that was it. Did not learn anything from the guide about the history and culture of Bergen. We saw other guides and would have much rather been a part of their group. The gentleman was nice and friendly but lacked the knowledge and enthusiasm I would have expected . Definitely not worth what we paid for. We could have just walked around ourselves for free.
