Every positive review is very important for us. Thank you very much! We will be very happy to meet our tourists again in Norway in future and to suggest our services again.
My wife and I took the local food and funicular tour in Bergen with tour guide Olaf. Our experience was excellent. As I have mobility and balance issues, Olaf was very helpful holding my arm throughout the tour. One tip - in preparation for the lunch at the fish market, I recommend you eat a very light breakfast or skip breakfast all together. The lunch was excellent and very large

It is a wonderful boat, with exceptional service. Everything is fabulous, the food, the excursions, the crew. It is absolutely recommended
We have booked a private tour. We have chosen Vinol Tours agency. My wife prefer tours with food tasting in every new country when we are traveling . One of tours that includes local food tasting was on the list of Vinol Tours. 3 hour tour offers walking tour in the medieval parts of Bergen, return Funicular trip to the top of the city mountain and local food tasting in restaurant. Amazing views of the sea and islands along the shore line stored now in our camera. Food tasting in reality was 3 course lunch (more than we expected): fish soup, different types of smoked salmon, cured meat, and delicious dessert! Full picture of local history plus nice examples of Norwegian kitchen!
Dear Erik! We are happy that you get positive impressions during the tour. Tour with food tasting became very popular. Norwegian kitchen is also a part of the development of local sociaety and its life. Thank you very much for so high scores!
We ordered this tour, because of the maximum information that you can get from walking tour in Bergen. Just walking tour without Floibanen trip in Bergen, this is not enough to become familiar with this historical city of Bergen. Old quarters of Bergen gave us enough information to understand why Norwegian kings decided to move their capital from Trondheim at the North to Bergen Fjord area. Great location. Big bonus if this is sunny day and you can enjoy panoramic views of medieval city from the top of Floien that is the most popular mountain in Bergen with the lookout place at the summit. That was good that our guide brought prebooked funicular tickets, We escaped long waiting time with people buying funicular tickets. My recommendation is always to add funicular return trip to your walking or sightseeing tour in Bergen.
Thank You very much for your review. Half a year ago you have visited Bergen, but you still remember that nice day in July when you booked the tour. Your feedback is very important for us. In 2 days will start New 2020 Year. We consider tha your review is a gift for our company. From our side we wish you all the best in coming New Year! Welcome back to Norway!
