City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot

Martin is a very knowledgable and friendly guide. He had answers to all our questions.

The 2 hour walk was very informative. It was a small group so we got to ask questions and get a more personalized experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It poured rain the full two hours and I gather that is not uncommon in Bergen so dress appropriately and you’ll have a great time.

Martin did an outstanding ding job in the pouring rain. If anything, maybe he could speak a little louder😁

This was an excellent walking tour and great introduction to Bergen. Martin gave a real insight into the city and it's history. He also gave us some great recommendations for eating and drinking.

Martin is particularly knowledgeable about the history of Bergen and the larger political history of northern Europe from the time that the city was settled.

I love a guide who is only telling you a tiny portion of what he knows like the tip of an iceberg and then when you ask a question you see the other 9/10ths beneath the water.

We'd definitely recommend a guided talk by Martin for anyone thinking about it.
