Beautiful scenery and a learning experience! - Bas was a fantastic guide, very knowledgable on Norway's history and culture - I learnt so much about Norway while enjoying the beautiful scenery! It was an amazing 6+ hour tour since the weather was beautiful and we got some extra bonus stops in as we were a very small group. It was a fun and memorable experience, I got so many beautiful photos and Bas offered to take pictures of us at every stop which was very kind! Would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks Bas! :)

Nice day tour in Bergen** - **Nice day tour in Bergen** A very nice tour, visiting various waterfalls or waterfalls. The star of the tour is the waterfall where you can walk behind it. The tour very well organized. Our guide Bas, very attentive and knowledgeable. He told us about the attractions, culture, traditions and even played Norwegian music for us. Outstanding.

Highly Recommended! - This was a great tour. Bas was great and had lots of interesting stories and information to share. They took great care to make sure everyone who had signed up for the tour made it onto the bus, as well as keeping a close eye on the timing to make sure we were back to town on schedule. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Well worth the money! Don't miss this tour if you visit Bergen! - This tour had really low availability for the days we were in Bergen, so we booked it on the first day after our very late arrival as this was the only option (all the other days were sold out). The tour is a great value for money - quite cheap compared to other guided tour options offered on Tripadvisor, Get Your Guide and similar websites. The communication with the tour operator ahead of our departure was seamless and we were kept informed on the pick-up point and departure time in a timely manner. You even get a .pdf guide attached to the email sent by the tour operator which contains very useful and detailed information applicable to this very tour and not only - you can use a part of it for your wider stay in Norway. The guide (Bas) even called us as we were on the way to the meet-up location to ensure we could find it easily and made it on time. The coach was pretty large but not fully booked, we were a rather small-ish group, which was great as easier to manage. Everyone received the refreshment snack pack (a bottle of still water and 3 snacks) and it was really useful and interesting that Bas told us the story behind each of items in the snack pack - something one wouldn't probably get to know unless you google it :) Bas is a great guide, very professional but friendly and very open to communication and any question at the same time. The tour was in both English and Dutch (Bas grew up in the Netherlands, so this helped a lot). We covered everything described in the tour except one of the four waterfalls that we did not get to see because the road was closed due to an avalanche the day before. So Bas amended the tour and introduced a couple of other interesting and beautiful sights, therefore the tour did not end earlier than scheduled, which was great. Although the weather did not help much as it rained and was windy pretty much all the time during the tour, we still managed to have an amazing time and take plenty of photos of the beautiful and impressive waterfalls. One thing we regret is that we did not have any NOK cash to leave a tip to Bas and the driver at the end of the tour as a sign of appreciation, as we had arrived at the hotel around 1-2am the night before and in the morning rushed in a taxi to the meet-up point which was about 10-15 mins drive from our hotel. Being our first time in Bergen, we didn't know the city either. However, it's quite common (not mandatory but many feel like doing it) to leave a tip to the guide at the end of the tour in Norway. We made sure to have some cash for our next tour :) Again, this tour is a must when in Bergen if you want to go out of the city and you don't have a car rented. Thank you, Bas and Velkommen Norway!

Bergin as a great city to see Norway - We went to Bergen as the jump-off point to our cruise: "In Search of the Northern Lights," on the Viking Venus. Since we were not there to do any field trips around Bergen (that and the cold) - I can not speak to seeing the waterfalls or other scenic views. But I can vouch for Bergen proper and its people. The city itself is very picturesque with an interesting mix of old and new styles. We found the people of the town (and in fact in all of Norway) to be very kind and helpful. And the majority of the citizens speak very fluent English. It would be very interesting to visit Bergen again once it changes from the land of the dark to that of the midnight sun.
