5.00Tour of Bergen with a French student who has been living here for several years, thus knowing the ins and outs of the city, away from tourist paths. Very interesting and comprehensive visit, both historical, anecdotal, and varied depending on the neighborhoods. A wonderful exchange during this hour and a half, especially since there were only two of us (us), and thanks to him for the good local addresses! Do not hesitate, go ahead to discover this beautiful city to the fullest!
Great tour

5.00We were lucky enough to have Ani, the owner as our tour guide and only 4 on the tour! We were almost overwhelmed by his knowledge! All the little unheard of bits of history were explained.
A great tour of Bergen including the hidden parts of the old town.

5.00Guide was very knowledgeable. Boat was very nice & clean but could use more outdoor viewing space for the amount of people aboard.

5.00Excellent value for money & we loved this tour. Our guide Ani was so interesting & knowledgeable & good sense of humour. We were taken to parts of Bergen we may never have seen. The length of tour at 80 mins was perfect for the traveller who wants information told succinctly by a "Bergen Boy". He also gave us a bonus information sheet at the end of the tour with a guide to Bergen. We would recommend without hesitation
