Along the route, you’ll hear stories of sexual morality and its frequent violations, a Church that preached strict ideals while often struggling to live up to them, violence and conflict in a society with limited formal control, alcohol-fuelled disputes, and the everyday choices that shaped life, reputation, and survival in the city.

What are people saying about Bergen

Wonderful day exploring Bergen!

Don was fantastic! Very knowledgeable of the area and showed us so many beautiful and historic places. He was a delight to spend time with and we were very fortunate to have him as our guide. Viator never disappoints and we share with all travelers we encounter due to the success of guides and wonderful experiences we have. Thanks to Don for a great day!

Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present

Helena_B, Jul 2026

Great Tour!

We had an amazing tour experience with Nicholas, he was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor to keep things interesting. He had lots of fun facts and statistics too! I loved that he took us back in the neighborhoods, a place we most likely would not have explored on our own. There were some steep inclines at times, but nothing too hard to handle.

Bergen: Private Full-Day Waterfall day to Hardangerfjord & cruise

Valerie_C, Jul 2026

Best day of our 2 week trip!

My husband and I chose a private tour because he tends to get motion sickness on busses and we wanted to avoid large crowds. This was perfect! Our guide, Tim, was so knowledgeable and pleasant. We enjoyed waterfalls, a small town, and short fjord cruise with no large crowds! Lunch at the nature center was excellent.

An awesome way to see the town Bergen. Our guide Regina was very friendly and informative about the area and the history surrounding Bergen. I recommend making sure you are dressed warm and dry, we thought we were dressed warm the wind was cutting through everything. But even being cold we still really enjoyed it.

A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular

Great mix of history and yummy food!

Rig was an awesome guide! She is so knowledgeable about the history of Norway and you can see how much she loves her country and her city. The food was delicious - all of it was meticulously picked. Love the sardine stop and the cider stop as it is more off the beaten path.

Around Bergen in 80 Minutes: A Guided Walk

Pamela_K, Jun 2026

Great experience to get your bearings around Bergen. Well worth it

Fabulous walking tour of this beautiful town. The owner of the company, Norwayfarers, was our guide and he was soooo good. He told just the right amount of details and stories as we walked the harbor area and old part of town. He shared insights into things to do, where to eat, what the locals do, even giving each group a brochure "know Bergen" that I think he prepared. the meeting point was a little tricky to walk to from the ship because no direct line to walk and the GPS on our phone had us doing circles. We just asked the wonderful people there and made it, but just allow yourself plenty of time for a few wrong turns. Without spoiling the surprise, our guide had a surprise for us after walking thru the "world famous" fish market.....it was interesting and very worthwhile. Also, have an umbrella and/or poncho, as we were told Bergen is the second rainiest city in the world. As fast as it rains, it clears up. Even though it rained most of our tour. our guide made it fun and enjoyable.

Private Airport Transfer From Bergen Airport or Hotels in Bergen

Sandy_L, Jun 2026

Great service!

After traveling for more than 24 hours it was great to have our driver waiting for us. Our flight was late but it was no issue. He texted us to let him know when we were coming out with our baggage. He was very friendly, pointing things out on the drive from the Bergen airport into town. I would highly recommend this service!

Mostraumen Fjord Cruise – Operated & Guided by Locals

Christy_C, May 2026

Must do!

A must do while in Norway! Get out on the water, deep into the fjords and learn about the history and culture of Norway. Beautiful in any weather I’m sure. Our trip was very chilly, with misty clouds, snow, and bright blue skies with sunshine. The rapidly changing skies only added more drama to our views. Dress in layers appropriate for the weather and assume it will be colder on the water.

Food and Culture walk

Laura_R, Jan 2026

Simply Wonderful

This was one of the best walking food tours I have ever done. We got a nice bit of history and culture and got to try some truly amazing ditches, mostly from street food vendors frequented by locals. This made the experience even better because we got to taste authentic food. Our guide was amazing and allow us time to look around a fruit market where we got to pick up a few fruits for later that we don’t usually see in the US. All in all this was an outstanding experience.

This was the highlight of...

This was the highlight of our Scandinavia vacation. The Flam Railway ride was just as amazing at the fjord boat excursion. The only hiccup was that our friends booked the same package, on the same day, and same time. But the order of the train/boat was reversed from ours and we ended up having to split up.
