5.00Our guide, Normann, was engaging and informative. He took us via car away from town and out into the mountains. It was a wet and windy day - and it was fabulous! He was conscientious about our safety while taking us on a wild and beautiful hike we couldn’t have found on our own. It was a lovely and memorable experience. Thanks, Normann.

3.00I was really looking forward to this tour, but sadly it got cancelled as not enough people signed up. There were some communication issues as they didn’t seem to be getting my messages via Viator. I also had to contact Viator support to get the refund processed. So overall was a bit stressful experience, though I am sure when the tour does go ahead, it is lovely.
Excellent way to see the fjords from the mountains!

5.00Ole was a fantastic guide through the mountains above the fjords. He knows the trails very well and kept a good pace while leaving time to enjoy multiple viewpoints that were stunningly beautiful.

5.00It would have been so easy to cancel because of a little rain, but Norman with his deep knowledge of the fjords and the Bergen area /Norway outdoors made this one of the highlights of my trip. He was careful to make sure I was navigating the trail (a little water and mud) but the hike was invigorating and the view from the top was breathtaking. I learned so much about Bergen, Norway, and life on this hike. We may have had a little rain but Norman brought the sunshine.
Wonderful hike!

5.00From before we started our hike, Norman (our guide) reached out to us with a text and a pic of him to know who we were looking for at the meet up spot. There was only 2 other people with us for the hike (mother and son). He took the time to research a bit about us and where we were from. We took a 45 min drive in his personal car to a secluded spot where we hiked a moderate hike thru lakes and fields. It was a beautiful hike with amazing view of fjords. I would recommend bringing your own water but the guide did bring some for us. Also there is a spot to swimming in a lake that I wished we could partake if we have a bathing suit as it would have web quite refreshing after the hike. Norman looked after us quite well and was very passionate about Bergen. He told us great facts about Bergen and how it used to be when he was a child. At the top of the mountain, he rolled out some coffee, chocolate, reindeer sausage and crackers. He even was own personal photographer and sent all the photos via text afterwards. I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Caroline was a wonderful guide and arranged an incredible hike of Bruvicknipa, away from crowds. Caroline provided options based on ability and interest. Very unique scenery and amazing views of the Fjords at the top. Coffee and snack was perfect. Pack rain gear in case of sudden change in weather.
