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.

Wonderful Tour

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.
