Wonderful tour
We took this tour the day we arrived in Bergen. Our tour guide, Don, was wonderful. He gave us a good overview of Bergen’s history, culture, layout and notable spots. We enjoyed it so much we added on the ferry ride which took place immediately after the walking tour. He also recommended some additional areas to walk which we did the next day. Great introduction to Bergen!

Good introduction to...
Good introduction to Bergen, Guide was very knowledgeable and easy to follow The only disappointment was that the walk didn’t include visiting the beautiful old church
Operator response
Hi James, Thank you for your feedback. It was clearly mentioned that you have to pay a fee to enter the St Mary's Church. This tour is designed as an introduction to the city. We simply don't have enough time to go into each monument in this tour, even if you paid any applicable entrance fees at the respective destinations. The sensible thing to do would be to go back to the church or whichever destination you prefer after we finish the tour. We are happy that you liked the tour overall. Don
