Private Tour: Bergen City Sightseeing, 3 Hours

Jandis was a wonderful guide. She picked us up at the cruise terminal and for an extra fee, she dropped us off at the airport for our flight home. I love that she made suggestions on where to go/what to see in Bergen as this was our only day in the city. She covered a lot in the 3 hour-tour that I had scheduled. I will always opt for a private tour even if it's more costly. You save time and you get to see/do what you want.

Absolutely wonderful tour of the city. Our guide Vladislav was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and took us to places we would have never seen. He added a bit of history to all the sites which made it more interesting. I would highly recommend

Vlad met us at the cruise port and quickly whisked us off to see the sites of Bergen. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region and the Norway culture. He obviously took us to some beautiful areas, but also to places of historic significance. It was a perfect combination of using a car to get places, and getting out and walking around. Vlad was exceptional—I wis he could be our guide through Norway!

Our guide, Vlad, was outstanding! He knew everything there was to know about Bergen. He knew so many things about the town he had spent decades in. He was enthusiastic and helpful. When we chose to go on the funicular, he actually went in with us, helped us figure out how to get an electronic ticket, and made sure we were in the right place at the right time. He also told us what we would be looking at and where we should focus. I could not recommend Vlad more highly.

Vlad was an excellent tour guide!! He begins by asking what are your interests, then he adds some idea, flexible planning, he was on time, very knowledgeable, spoke great English, very safe driver, we saw every part of the city. Totally enjoyable tour and a great value for the money!!! Highly recommend!!

Vlad is a great guide. He’s full of information, friendly and helpful, with good recommendations. We had a terrific time exploring the city with him.

We booked a private half day tour and we really enjoyed ourselves. Our guide arrived on time, she had a beautiful luxury car, and she offered us bottled water. Our guide spoke perfect English and she was very knowledgeable. I wish that we could have spent more time with her. I would definitely book again if I return to Bergen.

We were collected at the pier, and from the moment we got in the car, our tour guide started to tell us about Bergin, explaining the history and showing us landmarks. He was cheerful and made the visit so worthwhile. We use Viator for all tours and usually find that they have great tour guides. I strongly recommend them!

It was a great experience with a personal guide who could tell us extra things about the places we were visiting.

We had a wonderful experience. Ani , the owner, was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and was flexible. Our tour was six hours plus. The prices posted now are super. We paid more as we booked months ago. Love Bergen.

Very informative & friendly. We got a good overall view of the city. The scenic view from up the mountain was wonderful. We were so appreciative of our time with him.

We booked a six-hour private tour in Bergen, Norway with JANDIS AS on May 23, and had the pleasure of being guided by Vlad, the owner and operator of the company. From the moment we met Vlad, it was clear he has a genuine passion for guiding and sharing Norwegian history and culture. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his deep knowledge of western Norway made the entire experience unforgettable. Tours can be fully customized—either curated by Vlad or tailored to your interests and preferences. Our journey began at Gamlehaugen, the Royal Castle, where we enjoyed a walk through the scenic grounds. Next, we visited the Edvard Grieg Museum, where Vlad gave an engaging and insightful tour of the composer’s life and work. From there, we ventured beyond Bergen to explore majestic waterfalls and breathtaking natural sites. We wrapped up the day at the Bergen Fish Market and the area surrounding the Fløibanen funicular, soaking in the lively atmosphere and beautiful views. Vlad provided snacks, bottled water, and soda for everyone, and the minibus was brand new and fully equipped with the latest technology. Throughout the trip, he entertained us with bits of Norwegian humor and taught us about the famous “Five F’s” of Norway: Fjell (mountain), Fjord (far), Foss (waterfall), Fonn (glacier), and Fisk (fish). Vlad truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We highly recommend him and JANDIS AS for anyone looking to explore Norway. By the end of the tour, we didn’t just say goodbye to a guide—we said goodbye to a friend who felt like family.

The tour was amazing, and Vlad was a wonderful guide. He took us to all the must-see spots and was very knowledgeable about Norway. We had an amazing time, and thank Vlad for going above and beyond to give us a great experience. he even helped us book lunch reservations at the best spot in Bergen!

This was a wonderful tour in a magnificent city with a world-class tour guide. No question, Bergen is a magical city and Vlad, our tour guide, made it even more spectacular. Our family has a special interest in Grieg. Vlad jumped right on this and seemed to tailor the tour especially to our interests. Vlad is extremely personable and his love for Bergen is infectious. His years of experience was most evident with his vast knowledge of the locale. Not only did we have a very in depth guiding of important Grieg sites, during which Vlad offered incredible historical insights, but we had a great overview of Bergen. We then segued from this tour to a nice personal exploration of the city. We hope to visit Bergen again, at some time. But most importantly we will encourage other family members to enlist Vlad for a tour when they are fortunate enough to visit this beautiful city.

We were able to see several Bergen highlights during our tour but were cut a little short on time because their. previous tour ran long and we had an all aboard time to meet. I recommend doing your research ahead to let them know where you want to go so they can tailor your tour to you. I also suggest a 4 hour tour to not feel as rushed. Vlad was very informative and knew Bergen well. He did make the most of our time!

Edvard Grieg home was a wonderful experience. Also the mountain drive. The guide had a wonderful personality and lots of experience.

Our tour guide, Jandis, was very knowledgeable of the history of Bergen/Norway and showed us a variety of interesting areas in Bergen. and, even outside the city. I have mobility problems and Jandis was most considerate of this and made adjustments for this. I recommend this tour if you want to have a great city tour.

I highly recommend booking a private tour with Jandis Tours. Our group of 6 were seeking transportation to Troldhaugen to visit the Edvard Grieg museum and attend a half hour piano concert - one of the group found Jandis Tours -we were picked up in a very nice & new Mercedes with room for 7 passengers. The owner Vlad was our guide - he suggested an itinerary which included stops both pre & post our planned visit to Troldhaugen. We appreciated his flexibility, excellent commentary & insights about the places we visited and about Bergen more broadly. He provided just the right amount of information - comprehensive & interesting. He was also extremely accommodating and quickly picked up that our group liked photos so he was also our photographer. If you are seeking a private guide with a nice car who is flexible & knowledgeable - Jandis Tours is the best!

My husband and I booked this private tour and was so glad we did! It was so much better than a typical group tour, which often seems superficial and "canned". Our tour guide, Vlad, was incredible. He was personable and knowledgeable and provided us with a fabulous, unique, and memorable experience. He is like a walking encyclopedia of information and was totally engaging. We were enjoying our tour so much, we requested an additional hour and was so happy he had the time to accommodate us. We got to see the Brygga (harbor area), the Folk/History outdoor museum, the Grieg House and Museum, the Stave Church, and much more. Obviously, a private tour costs more than a large group tour, but it is well worth it. Thank you Vlad - we enjoyed spending a fun and interesting day with you and gained such a great appreciation for Bergen!

Vlad was amazing! He showed us so many awesome sites and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He was enthusiastic and had fun tidbits about every stop we made and really engaged with us.

My family and me decided to take a 3-hour tour around Bergen as we have another day before going back home to Hong Kong. We were greeted by our tour guide, Vlad, in the hotel lobby at our requested time. He quickly helped us devise a travel plan around the city that best fit our demands as we had no idea where we should go. We then got on board his nicely furnished 7-seater with a bottle of complementary water for all of us. Vlad showed us around the city proper and then to Troldhaugen, where the famous composer Edvard Grieg once lived, and through the mountains to see the city landscape. Vlad definitely knows his stuff since he has lived in Bergen for many years and his English is very good. He was also very friendly in helping us to take nice photos and answering our questions. At the end we went a bit over the 3-hour period but Vlad was okay with that. Bergen is a lovely city with many great sights to see and we are very grateful that we had Vlad showing us around.

We are party of 3, 3 adults with elderly. Very exciting driving tour. Got to know Bergen in detail in 3 hr with private car, then after finish tour at 1 pm , we went to have lunch then Bruggen and mount floyen funicular ourselves as recommended by guide, Jana. I first decided to join this tour for my 80 year old mother, still walk on her own without walker, but I think I did enjoy tour myself. Bergen is surrounded by mountains and fjord, must see the view from the top from different directions. Beautiful houses.
