We only had 6 hours in Bergen, and Vlad gave us the best experience with the amount of time we had. He was very knowledgeable, and was able to describe everything that we were seeing as we went. He was able to give us a custom tour for things that we were interested in as well as things we did not know we wanted to see!

Dear Jessica, thank you very much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next adventure! Sincerely, Vlad

Incredible Guide
Vlad was an incredible guide, he answered all my questions with his extensive knowledge of Bergen and Norway, at one point he had to take a important call to which he apologized, and then offered to extend my tour.
He is a really down to earth guy and I would recommend him to anyone going to Bergen
Thank you Vlad

A Great Day in Bergen
We had a great day in Bergen with Vlad and Anna. Our family group was ages 16-86. The process and communication for booking and payment of our tour was easy. Vlad and Anna met us at our hotel and accommodated our luggage easily in the comfortable vans they had arranged. Our day was packed with sightseeing and education on the area's past history and current history with any topic we wanted to ask about into between. Vlad is so enthusiastic and really tries very hard to make each experience perfect. He was also able to help work around the various mobility challenges we had with the older family members. The day really was great.

Spectacular overview of Bergen and Bryggen on foot and from above
History, spectacular views, an ancient Viking church, walking through Bryggen Wharf, and a museum! This compact trip showed us the old, the new, and many wonders of Bergen in only 5 hours. The Viking church was unique and seemed a combination of many cultural elements in its architecture.

Perfect tour
We hit all the highlights in charming Bergen. The ride on the funicular to the top with amazing views of Bergen. It was a rainy day but that did not stop our day. Our guide has complimentary large umbrellas to use. The Grieg museum and home was so interesting. Five hours was not enough time but we experienced the most from our trip only made possible from our organized snd delightful tour guide!!! We will be back to Bergen and stay days to enjoy the culture of the city!

Dear Tracy, Thank you very much for so nice review. You are very welcome to Bergen and I will be glad to be your guide again :)

Absolutely fantastic!
We got Vlad as our driver/guide and had the best time ever. Our group was late and he patiently waited for us, and then gave us one of the best experiences ever. We were a group of yarnlovers and he took us to 2 yarn factories, arranged a small tour for us there, showed us some waterfalls outside the city, stopped for toilet breaks and chatted and laughed with us. He was so knowledgeable and this was an excellent way to see the sights of Bergen. We can highly recommend him and this tour to anyone.

a wonderful private tour
Vlad is a great tour guide. He met us at the cruise pier on time, and his Mercedes V fits 6 of us perfectly. He loves Bergen and he tried to present all the best things about Bergen to us. He also made the best effort to introduce the history and culture of Bergen and we all felt that we were getting so familiar with this pretty city at the end of the tour. Well done, Vlad.
