Exactly what I wanted for a day visit. Janine was informative and genuinely interested in sharing Bergen with our group. I learned a good deal and appreciated her patience in answering questions while sharing interesting personal stories. I highly recommend this tour. The owner of the company is a delight as well and keeps a caring eye on the group. Written 05/01/24

We loved this tour and our guide Fabiola was excellent! She effortlessly blended historical information with personal stories that made us feel very connected to everything she told us. Besides visiting a number of beautiful location she also took us on a few spontaneous stops when the opportunity presented itself. We also really enjoyed learning from a local about present day Norway and how the country is run. Overall an unexpectedly fantastic tour when we found ourselves with a few extra hours in Bergen!

We had a 2-hour city tour in Bergen with our guide Neil. Neil took us to all interesting sights of the city center and gave us a lot of information about the city and the country. All in all a very nice experience and a great way to get a basic orientation of the city if it is your first time there.
