Great way to get your bearings of Bergen, Sammi knew the area well and had heaps of stories to tell and some great tips. Had a few issues with the meet up and nearly joined the Spanish group. There was a bit of standing around at the beginning which slowed the process for someoneone wanting to get moving. Some of the street are very steep, care needs to be taken.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sami. He's very entertaining and possessing a good sense of humour. You get lots of - also quirky - information. It was worth the "investment".
Sammy was one of our best tour guides. Excellent language skills and sense of humor. We learned a lot about Bergen.
Sami was well spoken and was thorough with local Knowledge and history. It was good mix of serious and fun.
Very interesting, but also very fun tour. Exciting to get to know Norway and the Norwegians from the perspective of an expat. Sami is a gifted storyteller who speaks quickly and does not let a second of boredom arise. There were many useful tips (shopping, specialties in Norway and Bergen in particular, local spots; I tried Dr. Wiesner right away and was very satisfied). However, the group was very large with over 30 people starting out.
It was great.We saw a lot and learned a lot on our walk through the streets of Bergen. Sammi is full of information and is very entertaining. Highly recommend.
Guide Sam made the group feel good, was relaxed. And at the same time full of information, which he could bring fantastically: he is also a stand-up comedian... nice humor, I really loved him.
We had Sammy as a guide. Fantastic entertaining insight into the local culture as well as the local attractions. Nearly 3 hour walk which flew by. Highly recommend.
If Carlsberg did walking tours, this one, with guide Sami, would probably be the best in Norway! He has great knowledge, illustrated by interesting anecdotes, and shows Bergen off at its best.
Sami is a wonderful, funny, and very interesting guide. The tour is informative and has no downtime. I highly recommend it!
