Google Maps is not completely accurate and burns a ton of energy. Make you have a full charge!
But the tour was well -presented. It made you feel like you were walking beside her all the way to her death. The journey ab through some areas made you feel like you went back 400 years in time

Very entertaining and relaxed experience. You can do it at your own pace and stop and start whenever you want

The tour start was easy to find. We liked hearing the story, the background history and the walk through the beautiful streets.
So sad 350 women were condemned as “witches” during 150 years. Also sad that “pack” mentality still exists in our world.
Would very much recommend this tour, even in the rain.

Absolutely fantastic tour, so informative and interesting. Easy to follow map too.
I'm delighted I did both Viator tours, felt like I really got to know Bergen better, and visualise the olden days.
Such good value thanks.

A really interesting experience whilst walking around Bergen. It really added to the exploring and takes you to areas you might have otherwise missed!

A great foot tour of Bergen while hearing a riveting story. This was a marvelous way to see the city. We stopped by several unscheduled stops for a glass of wine, a bit of shopping and lunch at the fish market.
Only negative was the distance from our cruise ship to the start point. We took the Hop on Hop off bus around first and then got off to do the walk.

Easy to handle, pleasant voice! ...very nice.....the path is easy to manage!
The tour is, with these explanations, suddenly different!

Gøy å prøve, men stoppet halvveis da det ble mere nyere bygg. Tenåringene syntes det var ok. Prøver gjerne Oslo neste gang.
