Nice to meet you, Bergen! - I took the I Love Bergen tour with Emma and it was the best way to learn about the city's history and the daily lives of its residents. The tour goes beyond what we find on regular travel websites and covers information that, as she says, we can't find on Google, such as the cost of living in Norway and the local lifestyle. I recommend taking this tour on your first day in the city, as that way you'll appreciate the tips for the rest of your trip.
