She tailored the information to our questions and interests, and we ended the tour feeling that we understood the city in a way we never would have on our own.

Bergen food and culture walk: fish market tastings, Bryggen heritage stops, and a final beer in a historic cellar, in 3 hours.
“Guide Our guide was pleasant enough, but she wasn't able to answer many of the questions she was asked. Also the stories dragged on a bit too long - it took 25 minutes to tell the prince story and it wasn't really worth it... Food The food was very disappointing. It started with a fish cake (I didn't like it but others did). We continued with a cinnamon bun with brown cheese. This was the highlight ! We also had 20 ml of apple juice and some dried fish. It continued with lunch which was a disappointing soup of lamb, that most people did not enjoy. A small salad was…”

We were all dressed for the weather, rainy rain! The surprise was Toyen Cola, delightful and tasty cola. The local beer was very moorish and went well with our snacks to start with. I highly recommend this tour and this guide. It was relaxed wandering and learning and experiencing new stuff. I will certainly go and find the ‘hot dog’ and ‘the waffle’ place again for seconds!”
