A great tour of Bergen including the hidden parts of the old town.

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
