Our tour guide, Jandis, was very knowledgeable of the history of Bergen/Norway and showed us a variety of interesting areas in Bergen. and, even outside the city. I have mobility problems and Jandis was most considerate of this and made adjustments for this. I recommend this tour if you want to have a great city tour.

I highly recommend booking a private tour with Jandis Tours. Our group of 6 were seeking transportation to Troldhaugen to visit the Edvard Grieg museum and attend a half hour piano concert - one of the group found Jandis Tours -we were picked up in a very nice & new Mercedes with room for 7 passengers. The owner Vlad was our guide - he suggested an itinerary which included stops both pre & post our planned visit to Troldhaugen. We appreciated his flexibility, excellent commentary & insights about the places we visited and about Bergen more broadly. He provided just the right amount of information - comprehensive & interesting. He was also extremely accommodating and quickly picked up that our group liked photos so he was also our photographer. If you are seeking a private guide with a nice car who is flexible & knowledgeable - Jandis Tours is the best!

My husband and I booked this private tour and was so glad we did! It was so much better than a typical group tour, which often seems superficial and "canned". Our tour guide, Vlad, was incredible. He was personable and knowledgeable and provided us with a fabulous, unique, and memorable experience. He is like a walking encyclopedia of information and was totally engaging. We were enjoying our tour so much, we requested an additional hour and was so happy he had the time to accommodate us. We got to see the Brygga (harbor area), the Folk/History outdoor museum, the Grieg House and Museum, the Stave Church, and much more. Obviously, a private tour costs more than a large group tour, but it is well worth it. Thank you Vlad - we enjoyed spending a fun and interesting day with you and gained such a great appreciation for Bergen!

My family and me decided to take a 3-hour tour around Bergen as we have another day before going back home to Hong Kong. We were greeted by our tour guide, Vlad, in the hotel lobby at our requested time. He quickly helped us devise a travel plan around the city that best fit our demands as we had no idea where we should go. We then got on board his nicely furnished 7-seater with a bottle of complementary water for all of us. Vlad showed us around the city proper and then to Troldhaugen, where the famous composer Edvard Grieg once lived, and through the mountains to see the city landscape. Vlad definitely knows his stuff since he has lived in Bergen for many years and his English is very good. He was also very friendly in helping us to take nice photos and answering our questions. At the end we went a bit over the 3-hour period but Vlad was okay with that. Bergen is a lovely city with many great sights to see and we are very grateful that we had Vlad showing us around.

We are party of 3, 3 adults with elderly.
Very exciting driving tour. Got to know Bergen in detail in 3 hr with private car, then after finish tour at 1 pm , we went to have lunch then Bruggen and mount floyen funicular ourselves as recommended by guide, Jana. I first decided to join this tour for my 80 year old mother, still walk on her own without walker, but I think I did enjoy tour myself. Bergen is surrounded by mountains and fjord, must see the view from the top from different directions. Beautiful houses.
