Additional Information
Explore the metropolitan through a passionate local’s perspective. You have the freedom to tailor the tour or simply let the local lead you to a thought-provoking glimpse of the city. Make your travel about the connections you make, not merely the destinations you visit. Our pedestrian tours let you bypass the mundane historical trips and experience the city through the viewpoint of a resident. Enjoy a tour that will revolutionize your travel, making it equally about the connections you make as the places you visit. Our local companions (Lokafyers) are zealous about their city and excited to share their wisdom and viewpoint. As Lokafyers typically aren’t professional guides and conduct tours sporadically; they offer an encounter that feels genuine and individual, akin to a pal showing you their city. At the conclusion of the tour, you’ll feel at ease traversing the city with assurance that you’ve gathered all the information needed to thoroughly enjoy your visit.
- Lokafy tours provide a general overview of the city with practical information from a local’s perspective, not detailed historical facts
- In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)

Great guide - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. - Tommy is an outstanding guide through beautiful Bergen. As we walked the old town, he shared the highlights of the history and geography of the town. He was also very open to sharing about life in Norway. Also gave us excellent tips about other stops on our trip.

Private Tours are worth it - We were wondering when we found out our guides name was Teresita Maria Ortigoza Nunez, but she has been here 20 years and she was GREAT! We went up the mountain for beautiful views, visited St. Mary’s church, and the historic Bryggen district. Teresita shared a wealth of information about the city and life in Norway. Private tours are worth it because you get ALL your questions answered and see the sights that work best. She gave us a great recommendation for dinner and told me to txt with any questions while we are here.

“This is Norway” - In 15 days and over 10 guided tours throughout Norway, Teracita was the most impressive, knowledgeable, and personable guide of all the guides on our tours. She was wonderful. She avoided repeating all the statistics of Norway as was standard in nearly every sightseeing tour, instead highlighting family and social life in the country. After each colorful description she would say “This is Norway!” She was so much fun and the type of guide we hoped for.

Walking tour - Great day with our guide. Walking Nordnes area of Bergen. Knowledgeable and took us to parks and streets off the beaten trail.

A Truly Special Time in Bergen Morway - Every once in a while you experience a tour that is beyond superlatives. My sister and I had the most amazing guide in Tommy Skjonhaug. We not only experienced the varieties of architecture and astounding views but we’re provided in-depth insights into the daily lives of the citizens of Bergen. Also provided recommendations for restaurants. Kudos, Tommy

Ok walking tour - Our guide was ok and she took us to some interesting places. However, there were some things that she didn’t take us to which we were expecting (eg Bergenhus Fortress) and some info was incorrect (such as opening times). She did provide lots of info about like in Norway which was interesting.

Guides seem to be not guides at all, seems like a scam - This was an extremely disappointing experience.
We asked for an English speaking guide and were promised a local that will share the experience of living in Bergen.
We got 2 people that showed up. Both could not speak English beyond few words!
In addition, they had no idea where to take us and asked what we want. I don't think they were local. They suggested to travel in a their car, though this is a walking tour. They looked a bit shady and we had to give up on the tour before it started.
