Foot and boat tour with Don - A brilliant way to see Bergen!
We had a fantastic time on our walking and boat tour with Don. He was incredibly kind and clearly loves sharing his knowledge of the city. He gave us a wonderful overview of everything from Bergen’s old and modern history to the local music, arts, and food scenes.
The boat trip was a real highlight, offering a lovely different perspective of the city from the water. Don’s open and friendly nature made the whole experience very special. Highly recommended!

In rain or snow take this tour! - Norwayfarers city tour by foot & boat was extremely good. Don gave a very interesting and informative guided tour. We particularly loved the ferry trip to give another perspective of Bergen. Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours even when snowing. That just added something special to the tour. Thanks Don.

Great tour! - Our tour with Don was wonderful! What an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide he is. We walked around various parts of central Bergen, learned lots about the history of the city then had a trip on a small commuter ferry to see the city from the water, great idea 😄
At the end of the tour, Don gave us an informative leaflet that he had compiled with lots of useful facts and recommendations for restaurants etc. Highly recommend this tour, great value.

Excellent way to get to know Bergen - We did this tour 29th Dec. We were lucky to have only a group of 5people. Our tour guide Ani was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved hearing the history of the town and also got tips on where to visit. The boat tour was a good addition.
Check out the funicular Fløibanen after too!

Great way to discover Bergen - We joined the Discover Bergen by foot and boat tour and it was a really enjoyable experience. In about two hours we explored Bergen both on foot and from the water, with a great balance of history, interesting facts, and local atmosphere.
Our guide, Ani, was very clear, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, and showed us parts of the city we would never have discovered on our own.
The ferry ride to Kleppestø was a real highlight, offering a beautiful and different perspective of Bergen’s harbor.
Highly recommended!
