I recently joined the Bergen in 80 minutes guided walking tour in last week in October, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. From the start, our guide Don welcomed us warmly at the meeting point and introduced us to the King of Bergen 😛. He led us through the charming UNESCO timber-house alleys and cobbled lanes of the city, weaving in the story of Bergen’s past as a fishing port and its rise to a modern destination. It was a well passed with no hurry and time for a lot questions from me which Don answered with a smile. Don sprinkled in interesting historical anecdotes and local tips—perfect for someone wanting an introduction to the city. We visited iconic spots like the historic wharf, stopped outside the lovely St Mary’s Church, and paused photos at scenic vantage points. If you’re short on time in Bergen but want a meaningful walking tour, this one is highly recommended.
Bergen, I will be back

I am in love with Bergen. I tell everyone who ask me about my Scandinavian tour that Bergen is a must visit. It has a different charm; it has soul and a unique character. Moreover, it has an amazing story which I got to know from Don. Not sure which was more fascinating – the story or the story telling! Every city must be having its own eventful past and that makes it attractive. I feel that we were fortunate to reach out to Norwayfarers and did the walk with Don which helped us to enjoy the city better. Bergen, I will be back..
Excellent tour. No better way to walk the city.

This walking tour exceeded all expectations. For once , a pleasant and friendly guide who was also extremely knowledgeable. Don was the best of guides and held us captivated with his thorough knowledge of the city. We were told the tales behind each and every building he took us to. From the "salmon stories‘ to the story of the enchanting Dyveke, 80 minutes of the walking tour went by rather too soon. A time well spent. No better way to learn about the city. Hundred percent recommended.
