Private tours are great
Jandis was a wonderful guide. She picked us up at the cruise terminal and for an extra fee, she dropped us off at the airport for our flight home. I love that she made suggestions on where to go/what to see in Bergen as this was our only day in the city. She covered a lot in the 3 hour-tour that I had scheduled. I will always opt for a private tour even if it's more costly. You save time and you get to see/do what you want.

Absolutely wonderful tour of the city. Our guide Vladislav was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and took us to places we would have never seen. He added a bit of history to all the sites which made it more interesting. I would highly recommend

There’s a lot to Bergen!
Vlad met us at the cruise port and quickly whisked us off to see the sites of Bergen. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region and the Norway culture. He obviously took us to some beautiful areas, but also to places of historic significance. It was a perfect combination of using a car to get places, and getting out and walking around.
Vlad was exceptional—I wis he could be our guide through Norway!

Awesome Private Tour
Our guide, Vlad, was outstanding! He knew everything there was to know about Bergen. He knew so many things about the town he had spent decades in. He was enthusiastic and helpful. When we chose to go on the funicular, he actually went in with us, helped us figure out how to get an electronic ticket, and made sure we were in the right place at the right time. He also told us what we would be looking at and where we should focus. I could not recommend Vlad more highly.

Dear Edward, your feedback made our day! Thank you so much for choosing us for your travel experience. We're so glad you had a fantastic time, and we can't wait to create more memories with you on your next visit, kind regards, Vlad

Excellent private tour
We booked a private half day tour and we really enjoyed ourselves. Our guide arrived on time, she had a beautiful luxury car, and she offered us bottled water. Our guide spoke perfect English and she was very knowledgeable. I wish that we could have spent more time with her. I would definitely book again if I return to Bergen.

Great tour in Bergin
We were collected at the pier, and from the moment we got in the car, our tour guide started to tell us about Bergin, explaining the history and showing us landmarks.
He was cheerful and made the visit so worthwhile.
We use Viator for all tours and usually find that they have great tour guides.
I strongly recommend them!
