Terrific walking tour

5.00A brilliant walking tour of the city led by Matthew. It was our first day in the city and so a terrific introduction to key buildings, events, facts and just a gorgeous walk around the old city. The boat ride was an added bonus. We had two teenagers with us and they loved it (best tour guide of our European holiday according to them).
Very enjoyable. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. The weather was damp but it didn’t spoil it…we had the right clothes

4.00The walking tour with the guide in the city is interesting, the ferry tour is of little interest.
So much information to provide great context to the city

5.00We book the tour to get a nice overview of Bergen during a short 2-night stay. Don was super friendly and had so much information to provide great context to the city. Only one other guest was on the tour, which made it really intimate. We found that taking the walking tour and the ferry to see Bergen from the sea was a great option. Don even left us with a list of recommended spots in town. Highly recommend!!
Informativ and funny tour 😊

5.00We had a great and very informativ private tour (3-4 h) with Don in Bergen - Norway. We started at Fisketorget and went by ferry to one of the islands, later we went to the old part Brygge and other parts of the older city. Don gave us an insight about Bergen and the life of the Bergenser. Beside that we got a lot of great tipps for meals and coffee and "schillings boller" and more sightseeing ideas. We have booked the tour with the tourist office. An absolutely recommended tour with a great and funny tour-guide.
Very picturesque tour around the core are the city
