We had a 4 hour private city tour with Vlad. He was on time and in a nice Mercedes Benz van. Vlad was very knowledgeable about Bergen and showed us many interesting sites. He even took our pictures at several places.
I highly recommend Vlad for your city tour of Bergen!!

Vlad is very knowledgable. He willingly adjusted the schedule based on our tastes and what he had already seen and experienced. Being in a car gives you a lot of less visited places that the usual busy tourist spots. Thanks
