Nice intro to Bergen - Our second time using VoiceMap to explore a city, but this time I had earbuds so much better! Enjoyed the tour, clear and well paced, with nice anecdotes about Norwegian history and characters. Good value.

Use an audio tours - Great walking city, we did some guided audio tours and they were great. Gos keeps you on the path and talks about places as you approach. We shared our earbuds so each had one to make sure our timing was on and it worked great

Perfect quick way to meet Bergen - We had just returned from north coast cruise around 3:30 pm. Had one nite before flying out at 6am. This was a perfect way to walk and feel Bergen. It gave us flexibility and was such a great value. Stopped at cute coffee shop. Checked out the old library while it was raining and stopped for wonderful dinner. All was along the tour path. We just paused audio then restarted. Got late so didnt quite do it all but thoroughly enjoyed what we saw and heard even though it got dark. He gave great information as we stopped at statues, plazas, fountains and buildings. I will look for these again when in other cities. One small thing. We wanted to start tour at different spot that would work better for our hotel. May have been possible but we couldnt easily figure it out. We ended up just going to his start point.

Easy to follow guide - Very interesting facts about Bergen, and easy to follow audio guide. We had no difficulty finding each one of the monuments/landmarks, and each one of them had a clear description with some fun facts. It’s good to walk in a city and feel like you know a thing or two about its history.

Thorough enjoyable day and half in Bergen - Wonderful city to start our Hurtigruten AstonomyVoyage...got to spend 1.5 days on-our-own before boarding M/S Kong Harald. Did our homework from home. Pre-purchased our Mt. Floren funicular rickets Erich expedited boarding the 'car.' Remarkable panoramic views of Bergen and its surrounds. Back below we we so impressed with Bryggen, the original Hanseatic merchant area, and a UNESCO HERITAGE site.

Recommended. Pleasant to listen to - Tour was fun and interesting. I did the tour on my last day of a six-day trip and I still saw many new streets and buildings. Pleasant to listen to. Good to follow.

Beautiful Bergen - We stayed close to the Bergen harbour and enjoyed the daily walks around the area. A major turn-off was Bergenites’ stubbornness in not accepting cash and for poor service delivery in general. Ae spent three days in Bergen which ended up being too long. The ferry trip to Flåm was spectacular!

Sorting my difficulty - We had trouble finding the start and we did not have a lot of time in Bergen to follow it up. So didn't actually do the walk. When I contacted them they immediately gave me a refund with their apologies. Very impressive.
