A very nice way to discover the magnificent city of Bergen when we arrived. Emma, a young Frenchwoman living here guided us, at our own pace, in the main districts while transmitting a local vision to us. A real moment of exchange and sharing. Thank you so much. We highly recommend.

Hector, our guide, was very kind and knew the city very well. We meet him comfortably in the hotel hall. We went walking to beautiful and less touristy areas. It adapts to what you want to do and makes recommendations for the rest of your stay.
