A True Norwegian Hike - Excellent experience hiking with Omar to the top of the mountain. He was extremely knowledgeable of the mountains and Norway. We had hot Norwegian tea and a snack at the Norwegian cabin on the mountain, a true Norwegian experience. Hike was a little over 4 miles and 1,000 ft of gain, and can be catered to the hiker. Overall, great experience, and I’d highly recommend.

Amazing experience and Hector is a great guide! - Was a great experience! Hector took us on a great hike in Bergen where we were able to take amazing photos of the landscape and City. He even brought hot tea for us to have on the mountain when we reached top to keep us warm (the hike was in winter time). Very friendly and personable and a good guide making sure we were mindful of each step along the way. He even gave us great ideas and places to visit after our hike for the next leg of our trip through Norway headed to Flam from Bergen. We had a great time and would highly recommend Hector again!

Best guide, best hike! - Our guide hector was TOPS!!! Not only did he give us a great experience as a guide, but he gave us a ton of history about the area, took pictures for us, and was extremely personable. The hike was a little challenging for this out of shape girl but worth every penny and minute spent. Views were breathtaking and hector was great conversation and company. If in the area, don’t choose anything else. Hector, the views and the whole experience won’t disappoint! This is a must! We would do it again! 💕 🏔️

Highly Recommend! Great way to start your day ! - This was a beautiful day to start my day in Bergen ! Hector is wonderful and knowledgeable. He was on time for the tour to start at 10 am . Since it was quite snowy the hike was an easy - medium one . But that’s why I chose to go with a guide as he kept up to my pace and we took breaks when I wanted . He even got tea to share and skates for ice skating on the frozen lake !!! Absolutely amazing.
