Kode Art Museums Of Bergen
Bergen is a city that has worn many hats. It was once the medieval capital of the Kingdom of Norway, and it was Scandinavia’s commercial centre until the 1600s. The city is renowned for its UNESCO sites, its fish market, and its seven surrounding mountains. It’s also been called ‘the gateway to the fjords’. On this walking tour through the small coastal city, I’ll bring its history to life.

Best way to tour at your own pace !

5.00While the crowds leaving the cruise ship were waiting and assembling in groups for their guide lead tours ... we were off exploring leisurely on our own. It was easy to start/stop on our own and we could dwell longer whenever we found something of interest. This was the 1st time we had used a self guided tour around a city and we will certainly do it again. Although some tour guides add a nice element of personality, this tour was so much more reasonable in cost and convenience !
Perfect way to see Bergen at your own pace

5.00Great way to see and learn about the town of Bergen without having to join a big tour group where you often cannot hear the guy talking. Instructions and math very easy to follow. Go with your own pace. Wood recommended highly

4.00It was very informative. You have to goto its starting point. You can’t start just at the even nearest point. Sometimes directions are bit haywire but can be figured out. Otherwise it’s just like you are walking with a live guide
Great!

5.00Great walking city, we did some guided audio tours and they were great. Gos keeps you on the path and talks about places as you approach. We shared our earbuds so each had one to make sure our timing was on and it worked great
