Wear your comfortable walking shoes and have your camera ready. My husband is not a walker, but he managed to hike for a couple of hours. I kept stopping to take photographs of the wonderful view. Our guide was on time and ready to go (and this was his 2nd tour of the day). He was very friendly and patient with us, since we were casually "hiking". We got our steps in and I got some beautiful photos too. Thanks!
Very pleasant hike. Jeremie was a great guide and offered great conversation and history lessons. We were fortunate for great weather and wildlife, however the hike may not be as good if the weather conditions are poor. Would definitely recommend.
Hector was a fabulous guide who customized our hike based on our experience. We hiked for over 7 miles to through the mountains to see beautiful, lakes, and views of Bergen.
Samuel was great! Great private and friendly tour. Samuel our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and helped us navigate the beautiful mountains. A must do!
One of our favorite things we did in Bergen! Samuel was an excellent guide. He met and dropped us off at our hotel. We hiked about 4.5 miles with good elevation gain. Guides go at your pace. Beautiful views of the city. Bring water! Trail was muddy but you can also opt to do a gravel/paved trail.
Very good. Everything went well.
Our tour guide, Jeremie, was fantastic and shared great information and local stories during our family hike. It started with a ride up the funicular, which was a great experience with beautiful views right from the start. Jeremie was incredibly flexible with our route when the weather shifted, ensuring we still had an absolute great time. The hike offered spectacular views of Bergen and the surrounding area, and we were able to stop and take some amazing panoramic photos along the way. On the way down, he even gave us some excellent inside tips on local restaurants and nightlife to check out later. Huge thanks to Jeremie for making our mountain tour such a success. Highly recommend!
A really great outing, one that offers majestic views and insights about the mountains surrounding Bergen. Luca was our guide, and he added so much color and great conversation. You can make this a more low key hike, or take some of the more demanding trails - a great workout!
Wonderful hike along the less travelled path that had fantastic views. We went early and beat all the crowds. Our guide, Luca, was great and thoughtful about our pace and steepness of path given one of us has some knee problems.
Our guide Hector was great and he took us to the top of the mountain overlooking Bergen with fantastic views. Really interesting conversations along the way too so learnt lots whilst walking.
