Excellent communication

travellerB23, Oct 2025

Very well organised tours. Very good communication and quick response for any questions leading up to the tour. They also do not cancel a tour even if you are the only person who showed up. I got a private tour because others who booked did not come.

There were just three of us in the group, and our guide Jeff made a special effort to answer our questions and adapt the tour to our interests.

Magda was our guide on this insightful walking tour around Bergen. We learnt a lot about the history of the area, the buildings, and the community. Magda was happy to answer any questions from the group, and we enjoyed the facts and stories she shared. Highly recommend the tour.

An afternoon wander through captivating Nordnes

Alexandra_V, Sept 2025

Very engaging small group walking tour through a picturesque part of Bergen. Our guide (a Bergen native) was very knowledgeable and engaging, offering a rich perspective on the Nordnes area and its history, as well as that of Bergen and Norway as a whole. Our group was encouraged to ask lots of questions, and we certainly did. I was very glad to have this opportunity to explore off the beaten path and discover another side of Bergen beyond the city's most famous landmarks. Nordnes is incredibly charming and well worth adding to a Bergen visit itinerary. I would certainly not have gotten the same appreciation for it just wandering the area on my own. Happy to have found this tour!

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.
