4.00A very good experience walking with Don(the guide) and a small team through the past and present of Bergen city. A small tour that covers a very small area of the city, but provides a good and interesting insight. We liked it very much.

5.00Great tour of Bergen with a knowledgable and friendly local! Don knows his Bergen history and took us on a tour of the city, sharing his insights as a local. The tour includes a ferry ride to see Bergen from another perspective, which was very good. Good length of time/pace etc. to the tour, with recommendations of key attractions and food spots thrown in too! Would recommend!

4.00I went on this tour with my husband and 10 year old son. The tour guide, Don, was friendly and informative. We enjoyed finding out about the history of Bergen and seeing the beautiful buildings in the harbour from the ferry. We went in February and it had just snowed. It was dry! The whole tour was outside and there was a very fresh wind blowing on the ferry crossing. In all honesty, our 10 year old was not interested (no fault of Don's) just not his thing. We kept him entertained with snacks and gave him a camera to take his own photos. The walk around town was at a gentle pace so suitable for all ages. At the end of the tour, Don gave us a handout with information about things to do / places to eat in Bergen.
A fascinating and informative introduction to a lovely city

5.00Don was an interesting, entertaining and very well informed guide. The tour was a great introduction to Bergen’s history and a good way to orient ourselves around the old town. We were very lucky to have a beautiful sunny , if very cold day to enjoy the city without rain and looking its best. Thanks Don.
Great guide
