Your private English speaking driver-guide picks you up at your hotel in Bergen centre and your tour begins. First part of the excursion gives you an introduction to Bergen’s centre: we start this tour off with a funicular ride to Mount Fløyen (1050 feet ASL / 320 meters ASL) to literally have an overview of the city's centre.
After the funicular we go on an excursion drive to the main sights, like the medieval Bergenhus fortress, Bryggen embankment, the Hanseatic quarters, the Fish market, the National Theatre, which are all located in the centre of Bergen and are worth stopping by and learning their history. On the second part of this tour, you have several options to choose from, depending on your interests and preferences. During a 4-hour tour we can offer following choices:
Option 1: A trip to Edvard Grieg’s museum and villa Troldhaugen, where the great composer lived and worked (entrance tickets required).
On our way back to Bergen centre, we will make a short stop at Fantoft stave church – a wooden church biult in a typical style on Norwegian medieval wooden architecture (entrance tickets required).
Option 2. A trip to Edvard Grieg’s museum and villa Troldhaugen, where the great composer lived and worked (entrance tickets required). On our way back to Bergen centre, we will make a short stop at the Royal residence in Bergen – Gamlehaugen, where the King and the Royal family stays when they are visiting Bergen (no entrance to the house).
Option 3. A trip to the Old Bergen museum – a town inside a town. The museum consists of over 40 wooden buildings from 18th and 19th centuries. We will visit the old bakery, drug store, old dentist's office, a sailor’s home, the party house, an old school and other quaint houses (entrance tickets required).
Option 4. None of the above and something special. Your driver-guide would like to know your interests and what you would like to see and visit. Maybe finding great photo opprtunities around the city, or taking the cable car to Mount Ulriken and a short hike to the top of Bergen's tallest mountain – 2109 feet ASL (643 meters ASL). We can decide on spot and make it a unique experience.

Vlad was very knowledgeable and open to show us what we wanted to see. He spent time to take us around parts of the city you wouldn’t normally see!
Dear Susan, thank you very much for such a nice review! I hope to see all of you again! Sincerely, Vlad
Our guide Vlad was fantastic! Picked our group of 4 up from the cruise ship promptly. Very knowledgeable about sights and history of Bergen. Very comfortable Mercedes Van. Highly recommend!
Dear Gregory, thank you very much for so nice review. All the best to you and hope to see you again in Norway!, Sincerely Vlad
Vlad took us on a private tour for 4 hours with 2 friends. It was fabulous! We went to many fascinating places and Vlad gave us thorough explanations that added to the enjoyment of what we were seeing. Unfortunately, we toured on a Monday and several museums were closed but we went anyway and made a few tours from the exterior for free with valuable background information from Vlad. (Edvard Grieg’s home and the Gamle Bergen Museum, for example) We would gladly tour with Vlad again. He was personable, friendly, energetic, and so very knowledgeable! He gladly took many photos of us at several sites as well! Dana, July 2025
Dear Dana, thank you so much for positive review! We hope to see you again on one of our tours, sincerely Vlad
Excellent tour! Vlad picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove us around Bergen while sharing his knowledge with us. This tour is a great option and covers many key spots around Bergen. At the end we asked Vlad to drop us off at the historic shops and we walked back to the ship.
Dear J.Jacob, thank you very much for so nice review. We hope to see you again in Bergen, sincerely, Vlad
We had a 4 hour private city tour with Vlad. He was on time and in a nice Mercedes Benz van. Vlad was very knowledgeable about Bergen and showed us many interesting sites. He even took our pictures at several places. I highly recommend Vlad for your city tour of Bergen!!
We spent over four hours with Vlad exploring Bergen including great spots off the beaten path. Vlad was amazing!!! He has a passion for history and Norwegian culture and as a long time resident of Bergen knew everything about the city. We absolutely loved our tour I would highly recommend Vlad!!
Thank you very much for leaving us the review! We are happy that you enjoyed this private tour with Vlad and hope to see you in Bergen again! Best regards, Jana Morozova
Great guide. Learned a lot on Bergen's history and the great fishing town. How people lived then. City rich in history and beauty.
Thank you for leaving us a review! We are happy you had a good time with our guide in Bergen and hope to see you again!
Vlad is very knowledgable. He willingly adjusted the schedule based on our tastes and what he had already seen and experienced. Being in a car gives you a lot of less visited places that the usual busy tourist spots. Thanks
