About this experience

One of the 19th century superstars was a Norwegian musician from Bergen. He was a virtuoso violinist named Ole Bull and he lived on the Island of Light - the Lysøen - where this tour will take you and where you can visit Ole Bull's amazing villa. During this 4-hours long tour in your own private car with your own private driver, you can take a journey from Bergen centre to Buena quay. From there a small passenger ferry leaves to the island of Lysøen regularly. On the island you will visit the gorgeous villa, which is now a museum, on a guided tour with the museum guide. Afterwards, you are free to explore the island on your own - taking a walk on one of many walking paths. If there is enough time on the return journey to Bergen, we will make a stop at the Lysekloster - the ruins of a Cistercian monastery from the 12th century. The tour ends in Bergen centre. The villa will be closed due to reconstruction in 2021 - 2024. During this period you can only see the villa from outside.

  1. Lysoen and Ole Bull's Villa

This is the departure point of a small passenger ferry going to the Lysøen island. The tickets for the ferry and entrance tickets to the museum are not included and can be purchased on the spot. The villa is currently closed due to reconstruction, so you can only see it from outside. The ferry departs for the island at 11:00, and takes about 8 minutes one-way. On the Lysøen island you will see the villa where you will get to know about Ole Bull and his life (once opened - on a group excusion with the museum guide). After the excursion in the villa you can sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea or take a stroll on one of many walking paths which spread out all over the island on your own. The ferry back leaves at 12:45.  You return with the same ferry to the pier, where your driver and the car are waiting for you. Season: 18.5. – 31.8.

PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours: questions travelers ask

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

How much does PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours cost?

+

Prices start at $5950 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 PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours take?

+

Plan for about 4 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 PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours?

+

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 PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours?

+

Around 0 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does PRIVATE DRIVER TOUR from Bergen: The Island of Light (Lysøen), 4 hours 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, Guided Tour To Nærøyfjorden, Flåm & Stegastein - incl. 2h cruise, 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.
