Worthwhile - Sammy was great. Very personable and knowledgeable, adding to historical and cultural information with his own personal experiences. Responsive to questions and kept up a good pace.

Sammy was excellent but didn't know it was tip based. - Sammy was excellent! Energetic and knowledgable of Bergen and its history. He gave us many useful tips and suggestions. We toured many of the key attractions and he pointed out some interesting little known facts like the phone booths that act as book exchanges. What disturbed me was that Sammy only got paid by tips and not from Viator after we paid Viator for this tour. Viator also didn't list this as a tip based tour when it was posted. Very deceiving and we felt bad for Sammy after an excellent tour.

Top notch - Excellent tour by Sami. We found Sami to be informative, personable and entertaining! We learnt about Bergen history and the Norwegian culture in an honest and entertaining way (including a perfect example of Norwegian « we like to be alone and silent » delivered by a resident of Bergen who did not appreciate that tourism makes an important financial contribution to the country’s second city). We have no hesitation in recommending this snapshot guided tour

Free tour in Bergen. Highly recommended - Amazing tour that our guide, Mara, made of Bergen. It was over two hours and they flew by. In addition to telling us a little history he told us many anecdotes, recommended places to eat and things to do and go to see. It made it great, super recommended to do the tour with her. 👏🏼👏🏼

Bergen tour - Jacob was very pleasant and entertaining. He knew a good deal about Bergen and it's history although was unable to answer a couple of questions. We also paid for a two hour tour but it only lasted 80 minutes and we were then expected to tip!
