    Great tour & Fabulous Guide.

    An amazing day with an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guide. Edun is a gem. She was open to any suggestions on places, topics etc in addition to what the tour offered. Lots of great local recommendations on shops, bars, restaurants, museums etc. Even helped me find a book on Stave Churches locally that I could only find in the US for $$$. Made an extremely wet day so enjoyable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for such a generous review. We are so happy you enjoyed your day with Idun, even with the Bergen rain in full force. She knows the city so well and loves sharing local stories and recommendations, so she will be thrilled to read this. We hope the book about stave churches will be a lovely reminder of your time in Norway. Thank you for joining us!

    Oslo walk seeing city, Stave Church and Mt Floyen

    Our guide Carolina was a local Oslo gal. Very friendly and personable with our group of 6. She made sure of keeping track of us when we were on the busy train. Enjoyed seeing the Stave church, riding up the funicular for the spectacular views and ending at the old pub. She was great at taking our photos too and sweet giving us each her favorite Norwegian candy bar too!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review. Carolina will be so happy to read this. As a Bergen local, she loves sharing her city with guests, and we are glad your group enjoyed Fantoft Stave Church, the funicular, the views from Mount Fløyen, and finishing at Dyvekes Vinkjeller. It sounds like you had a lovely day together, complete with photos and Norwegian chocolate. Thank you for joining us!

    We had a fantastic stroll...

    We had a fantastic stroll around Bergen with Carolina. She is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The weather was a little rainy, but we still had a fantastic time seeing the sights and hearing the stories of Bergen.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review. We are so happy you enjoyed walking through Bergen with Carolina and hearing the stories of the city. A little rain is certainly part of the Bergen experience, and it is wonderful to hear that it did not stop you from having a fantastic time. We will gladly pass your kind words on to Carolina.

    Bergen and Starve Church Experience

    Our tour guide was informative. He would answer any question you had. You didn’t feel rushed. He gave us time to take photos and embrace our surroundings. He would make sure everything was ok. My husband had a a bad knee and he continually asked him was ok. He seemed to ask out of concern & not rushing us. The tour finished on time. Highly recommend. Relaxing and enjoyable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share this. We are very happy to hear that your guide made you both feel comfortable and gave you plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. It means a lot to know that the care shown to your husband helped make the tour relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you again for recommending us.

    Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.

    How much does Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $297 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.

    Is Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bergen?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bergen?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bergen?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour?

    +

    Meeting point: The blue stone. The blue stone is the general Bergensian meeting point. If you can't find it, ask any local and they will help you. The guide will be wearing a green jacket or shirt. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bergen Fantoft Stave Church and Fløyen Small Group Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
