Hallaien! (Bergen slang for 'hello')

Welcome to Bergen!

Bergen is Norway’s second-largest city. Despite being Europe’s rainiest city (250+ days of rain a year!), it is a city of history, culture, gastronomy and nature.

We think Bergen is the best city in the world and love getting to show you what makes it so special. Our tours are run by people who live in Bergen all-year-round and are eager to show you our home.

The tour guide Magda was excellent. She was both knowledgeable and interesting, very personable and had a great sense of humour. The tour was a pleasure from start to finish and I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get a feel for Bergen and also for Norway in general.

Emma was a very kind, friendly and fun tour guide. The tour was very informative, covering several centuries of Bergen's history. Thank you so much!

Neil was our guide, and he was fantastic! He was very friendly and brought the tour alive with some great stories and lots of history. We would recommend this tour to couples, friends and family of all ages - it was a great way to learn about Bergen in a number of ways, in just a few hours!

Dane gave an excellent tour of Bergen, giving just the write amount of history, local information, lore, and humor. He was very interactive with us, answering all of our questions and providing great tips for restaurants and follow-on site seeing.
