Very informative experience - Martin shared wonderful information about Bergen. Being German-born and raised in northern Norway, his take on the history of Bergen gave a lot of insight into the WW2 German history in the city/country as well.

Great Tour and Guide! - Great experience with a really great guide (can’t remember his name, but originally from England and a musician and song writer). We loved the stories and information as well as how eloquently it was presented. Learned a lot about this beautiful city. Would highly recommend!

Walking tour - Walking is fine but there is a bit of standing in one spot with not a place to sit down. Loved the tour and Martin.
