Visitors' Testimonionals
Had a super nice tour from Samuel. His enthusiasm and funny way of telling made sure that, despite the rain, we were sorry that the tour was over after more than 2 hours. Thank you Samuel
This agency takes us clients for fools. We had a reservation for a tour in Spanish on 11/28/24. At 11 a.m. they send you an email reminding you that you have the tour, and at 5 p.m. they send you another email saying that it is canceled because The guide has had an emergency. Be honest and if you can't do the tour because there aren't enough people, you say it and that's it, nothing happens, it's understandable. You already know, if you go to Bergen in November, have a plan b prepared if you sign up for this agency's freetour because you won't.
Loved Bergen because Sami our guide made it come alive.Funny, entertaining a informative .Great tour.
A great tour. With many anecdotes and well explained. Nice tour. In Spanish and English.

This was a great tour of Bergen. Sami was very entertaining and friendly. Great information about Bergen, history and the Norwegian culture and lifestyle. I would definitely recommend the tour.
During the walk, little was said about the history or the city of Bergen, but it was too much about society in Norway from the guide's point of view and his critical view of Norwegian society.
We had signed up for the tour in Spanish on Sunday, September 8, but the guide never arrived nor did we receive any notification of the cancellation.At least we were able to join the tour in English and it was very good.
Second time I've done this tour with Sami - first was last year and this time I was back in Bergen with my husband - and it was just as entertaining and informative as before, with many new stories and insights.Sami is a consummate performer and keeps up a lively and interesting banter that gives really good insight into Bergen, Norway, and every from history and culture to social norms and practices.Highly recommended!

We did the Bergen tour on 8/5 with Sami. It was a great tour, we learned about history of Bergen as well as current day Bergen and Norway more generally. Sami took us down local streets and talked about the culture in Norway and shared some of his own experiences. He provided some good recommendations we followed, such as trying the cup of fish soup, reindeer sausage and how to get the best seats in the fernicular going up to Mt Floya (and avoiding farmed salmon). Excellent tour, Sami was awesome - definitely worth it for anyone visiting Bergen.

Lovely tour with Sami ! He’s a Canadian who’s lived in many places, so he focuses on the weird things that are so unique about Norway, but he also knows Bergen inside-out.

Great tour with Sammy! We didn't even look at the clock because it was just fun at all times! The focus of the tour was on the guide's personal experiences and recommendations and that's simply the most exciting thing! The outside perspective on Norway revealed many interesting differences. If you want an exclusively historical, data-based tour, which would have been rather boring for us, this is not the right place for you. Thanks for the entertaining morning!
We did the tour of Bergen in English with Sammy, a great experience! He has been very close and pleasant, telling us not only historical facts but also information about life in Norway and its society, with multiple cultural and gastronomic recommendations, highly recommended
