5.00Don was a great guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. We did a walking tour of Bergen in 80 minutes. It was packed with information and interesting stories. There was a nice balance between the major historical facts of Norway as a country, Bergen as a Hanseatic port and the life of traders and people in Bergen. We also enjoyed talking about Norwegian life, food and language. One of the best walking tours we have been on, many thanks Don
Personable, Tailored Tour

4.00On a very rainy day we were with a group of 5. Tourguide Ani was a very good guide. He showed us many interesting locations and told a lot of historical facts. After the tour we took the ferry to get a better look at Bergen from the water. I enjoyed it very much.

5.00Don unravelled the past of Bergen with colourful and interesting stories. He was full of warmth and candor, and patiently took us through some back alleys on a cold evening, to help see a different side of Bergen city. It was quite enjoyable and I would highly recommend to go for it.
Fun city walk

5.00I have moved to Bergen Last year and this is the first time I get to see Bergen from a different perspective and it’s absolutely blew my mind. Our Guide Don took us around the center of Bergen and connected the dots of history and modern world efficiently by taking us back in time. It was fascinating and very interesting. He holds so much knowledge but also passion for Bergen and Norway. I would 100% recommend him
