Mobile ticket

One of the 19th century superstars was a Norwegian musician from Bergen. He was a virtuoso violinist named Ole Bull and he lived on the Island of Light - the Lysøen - where this tour will take you and where you can visit Ole Bull's amazing villa.

During this 4-hours long tour in your own private car with your own private driver, you can take a journey from Bergen centre to Buena quay. From there a small passenger ferry leaves to the island of Lysøen regularly.

On the island you will visit the gorgeous villa, which is now a museum, on a guided tour with the museum guide. Afterwards, you are free to explore the island on your own - taking a walk on one of many walking paths.

If there is enough time on the return journey to Bergen, we will make a stop at the Lysekloster - the ruins of a Cistercian monastery from the 12th century. The tour ends in Bergen centre.

What To Expect

Let us introduce you to one of Norway's most prominent celebrities of the past - Ole Bull - by taking you to his beautiful villa on the island of Lysøen. The legendary violinist chose probably the most charming place in the area: the skerries south of Bergen, only 15 miles away from the city centre, where this tour starts. This tour starts at 12:15 in Bergen. Your private driver will pick you up at either your hotel in Bergen centre or one of the cruise ship terminals, if you are visiting by the sea. After a half an hour drive through the city suburbs and almost pristine rural areas, you will reach the Buena quay. This is the departure point of a small passenger ferry going to the Lysøen island. The tickets for the ferry ride there and back and entrance tickets to the museum are not included in the price of the tour and can be purchased on the spot. The ferry departs for the island at 11:00, and takes about 8 minutes one-way. The island itself is very cosy and picturesque. On the Lysøen island you will see the villa. It is currently closed due to reconstruction. Once opened - you will get to know about Ole Bull and his life - on a group excusion with the museum guide, included in the entrance ticket. The villa is quite unique: made of wood and combines 8 different architectural styles. After the excursion in the villa you can sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea or take a stroll on one of many walking paths which spread out all over the island on your own. Remember to get back to the ferry in time - it leaves at 14:45.  You return with the same ferry to the mainland, where your driver and the car are waiting for you. On the way back to Bergen you wall make a stop at the “Lysekloster” – the ruins of a Cistercian monastery from the 12th century. Duration of the whole tour: approximately 4 hours. Return to Bergen is at approx. 16:15. Season: 18.05. – 31.08. Car on this tour is one of our Mercedes minivans. When only 1-3 people are going on this tour, we may use our Tesla Model X.
