Excellent way to get to know Bergen

5.00We did this tour 29th Dec. We were lucky to have only a group of 5people. Our tour guide Ani was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved hearing the history of the town and also got tips on where to visit. The boat tour was a good addition. Check out the funicular Fløibanen after too!

5.00Just had a wonderful & informative evening tour of Bergen with Ani. It was just the 2 of us as the other customers did not show up. He was enthusiastic in his sharing of insight into the history and culture of the city. Highly recommended!

5.00We joined the Discover Bergen by foot and boat tour and it was a really enjoyable experience. In about two hours we explored Bergen both on foot and from the water, with a great balance of history, interesting facts, and local atmosphere. Our guide, Ani, was very clear, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, and showed us parts of the city we would never have discovered on our own. The ferry ride to Kleppestø was a real highlight, offering a beautiful and different perspective of Bergen’s harbor. Highly recommended!
Ani was great!!!

5.00Ani, was our guide, and he was absolutely excellent. He was very informative about his city of Bergen and was able to show us pictures of before and after Bergen. He took us to different areas of the city that we would never have found and gave us a thorough history of how this beautiful city began. He took us on a boat cruise where we were able to take beautiful pictures of the famous wooden houses. He was very funny, very friendly and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. He gave us a great recommendation for an Italian restaurant tucked way back in the side streets of Bergen and it was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable..

5.00Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and brought the city to life. The use of commuter ferry gave a great insight into the real Bergen beyond the tourist trappings.
Well worth doing

5.00Our guide Ani was very personable and enlightening. A great knowledge of Bergen. We enjoyed the boat ride, albeit it very cold on deck, but also the little hidden streets he took us on.

5.00Ami was a fabulous guide - he is knowledgeable, funny and made the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour - it helped us get our bearings and we saw things we would have missed without a guide. It poured rain and was super windy - and we still loved it.

5.00Don was an excellent guide offering local insights and historical information. Kept us moving by land and with a ferry ride at a very comfortable pace to learn the expanse of Bergen. Great personality and sense of humor too!
