Pass By: Torgallmenningen, Bergen, Norway
A wide pedestrian avenue and the meeting-point for the people living in Bergen, this beautiful street was built after the great fire as a fire breaker, hence its width. Surrounded by shopping malls and cafes, this lively street will take you from the modern town to the old part of Bergen. There is a lot of historical landmarks along the way that will be explained.
Stop At: Fish Market, Bergen Harbour, Bergen 5014 Norway
Here you will see all the delicacies from the Norwegian fertile waters. You will be able to taste smoked whale meat and marinated salmon and see the huge king crabs in the water tanks.

A unique site from the 13th century full of history. You have certainly seen pictures of this landmark in UNESCO's Heritage Site List, as it represents the image of Bergen.

Stop At: St. Mary's Church, Dreggen 15, Bergen 5003 Norway
This is, together with the Hall of Hakon, the oldest of all the buildings in Bergen. It has survived all of the fires that destroyed most parts of the city and has undergone many enlargements according to the different eras it has gone through.

Stop At: Øvregaten, Bergen, Norway
A street with a lot of history. This street right behind Bryggen has many interesting stories, apart from a great view of the many times ignored back part of Bryggen, which shows another perspective of how the tenements were built in the 12th century.

We had an excellent tour with Neil. My husband and I spent 2 hours exploring and learning so much about the beautiful city and the surrounding area. We learned about the history and culture and Neil was like an Encyclopedia answering all our questions even when we distracted him from the planned route ☺️. He gave great advice on places to visit and eat and really went to extra trouble to find vegetarian restaurants in the area for me. My husband is very interested in history and we really enjoyed the conversation and shared knowledge. A very pleasant and friendly person and we would highly recommend him for this tour.

We did this as part of our group tour of Norway there is a lot to see and we saw a lot
The guide found English difficult and so was not very engaging we saw all the main tourist sites
Edvard Grieg home Troldhaugen was introduced we had an on-site guide here and she was very engaging with good knowledge
We went to the old town where the port warehouses are with all the little tourist shops
It was worth doing with only one full day in Bergen best way to see everything

The tour was wonderful. Jana was our tour guide and she was amazing. She picked us up from our hotel and gave us a comprehensive and interesting tour of the city of Bergen. She pointed out places we should go back to and even local delicacies. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour educational and fun. I would highly recommend asking for her! Her love of the city and it’s history was evident.

Jana was fantastic! This is our second private walking tour, and the experience is totally different than with a big group. She offered to focus on things we were interested in to make the tour more personal. She made several recommendations for places to go, things to see, and restaurants. Would highly recommend.

This was the first time my husband and I visited Bergen. Jana was an excellent tour guide! The destinations she led us to were important and special and we felt comfortable navigating the beautiful city for the remainder of our trip. Jana was knowledgeable, answered our questions and made us laugh! The pace, distance we walked and the length of the tour was perfect. We can’t wait to visit again!

Sonya was a great guide- she took us to all of the places you would want to see in Bergen and provided historical context. She gave us great advice on places to eat, etc. Our luggage was lost on our way to Bergen and she very kindly provided rain jackets for us- that turned a rainy day into a great tour. I would highly recommend taking this tour!!
