Competent, friendly guide who knows Bregenz well
Fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. We covered a large amount of the city within the tour.
Don was the tour guide who led the walking tour & ferry ride. Don has deep Knowledge of Bergen’s history especially the unesco site Bryggen area. Start tune was prompt. The pace was good Don also provided extra information where to go and see in Bergen. The walking tour with the inclusion of the ferry ride to go to the other island to look back to Bergen was well worth the time. I recommend everyone to take this tour with ferry ride. Two hours was right gir the tour.
