Fantastic hike and experience - Fantastic hike and experience - capped off with a visit to the guide's family beautiful house on a cliff overlooking the city where you are warmly served coffee and bakery items. Hike is moderate difficulty - it's a a few trails and some rocks with a few places with ropes to help as needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

You should do this. Seriously. - Jan is a wonderful host. I made a mistake about my pick up location and he was very accommodating. Our hike was *incredible*. We had such a great time. Jan gave us a heads up about difficult sections and gave us time to take in the scenery. He never rushed us, and when we were a little slower, he patiently waited for us. Our conversation was so interesting and I am so so so glad we booked this excursion. If you are considering this, you should absolutely do it. I felt like a real local Norwegian.

Great addition to Bergen stay - This was a perfect addition to our time in Bergen. Olav was kind, outgoing, and very easy to be with. The hike was gorgeous and a lot of fun. Our two young kids managed pretty easily but Olav did a great job keeping them engaged. We loved getting to learn more about Norwegian culture while enjoying baked goods and coffee after the hike. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to see a different side of Bergen!

Wonderful hiking experience - My mom, brother and I came to Bergen and signed up for this hike. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Olav was our guide and he was wonderful. My mom needed some hand holding while making it up some of the big rocks and Olav was patient and helped her without a problem. Visiting the family home was an enjoyable experience and getting a chance to visit and talk about the different areas of Norway and the culture was something wonderful.
I can’t recommend this hike enough. I do recommend folks bring an extra pair of socks if it’s a rainy day and make sure your shoes have good tread, the roots can get a bit slippery when wet.

Great, informative tour guide and beautiful Norwegian views! - Olav was a great tour guide. In the early morning of May 17th (The National Day of Norway), he took me on the hike where the views were stunning! I was able to hear the cannons go off from the city center, which was a tradition for that day. He brought me traditional Norwegian food as well as water for the hike. The views from the top were stunning and Bergen goes down as the most beautiful city I have ever been to. Thank you Olav! It was worth every penny.
