Really interesting tour. Our Guide Janine had a lot of knowledge. An area of Bergen worth exploring. Lots of historical facts as well as some local legend .
Definitely worth it

I enjoy strolling through parts of a city I'm visiting, so this was a welcome activity. Nordnes has some gorgeous streets that are worth wandering down, and Magda was an excellent tour guide with clear passion for the area. As I had done one other tour from this same company, she was able to skip over stories that I had already heard, so it felt like a more personal tour. Would recommend if you fancy taking in a quieter part of the city.

Janine was an excellent guide. Informative with deep local knowledge, perspectives as an ex pat with two decades in Bergen and an ever valuable sense of humor. Very productive and enjoyable use of time.

Itinerary
We stroll down Strandgaten, the historic main street for the Norwegian merchants. But we won't just walk down here - we'll veer off-the-beaten path for some unique views of Bergen.
Nykirken
We stop outside Nykirken, the church built for the merchants in the 17th century. Edvard Grieg was baptised here. But we'll also discuss the Archbishops Residence that used to be there.
Nordnes Sjobad
After taking some secret streets in Nordnes (you'll have to take the tour to learn about them!), we end up at the halfway point, the Nordnes Park.
USF Arts Center (Verftet)
As we make our way back to the city, we enter one of the best-preserved neighbourhoods in Bergen. Here we'll see the culture house and surrounds.
We stop outside what has been voted the most beautiful street in Bergen.
For the last part of the tour, we head into the well-preserved sailors neighbourhood of Nostet.
Den Nationale Scene
Heading back into the city, we pass by Bergen's theatre.
Ole Bull Fountain
We finish in the city centre of Bergen.
