    3. Fish Market

      Here you will see all the delicacies from the Norwegian fertile waters. You will be able to taste smoked whale meat and marinated salmon and see the huge king crabs in the water tanks. It is a good spot for having dinner later in the evening as there are 4 restaurants inside the premises.

    4. Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf

      A unique site from the 13th century full of history. You have certainly seen pictures of this landmark in UNESCO's Heritage Site List, as it represents the image of Bergen.

    5. St. Mary's Church

      This is, together with the Hall of Hakon, the oldest of all the buildings in Bergen. It has survived all of the fires that destroyed most parts of the city and has undergone many enlargements according to the different eras it has gone through.

    6. A street with a lot of history. This street right behind Bryggen has many interesting stories, apart from a great view of the many times ignored back part of Bryggen, which shows another perspective of how the tenements were built in the 12th century.

    There was excellent and Informative

    Tere, our guide, was excellent, informative and fun. She had terrific stories to tell and her experiences as a teacher, an interpreter and now as a guide, added flavour to those stories. She brought Bergen alive for us. Also her professionalism was outstanding. We thoroughly recommend this tour, and specifically Tere as your guide. Thank you for a terrific experience Tere.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Bergen with Tere. Her background as a teacher, interpreter, and guide certainly gives her a unique perspective, and we're glad her stories and personal experiences helped bring the city to life for you. Your kind words about her professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm mean a great deal to us, and we will be sure to share your feedback with her. Nothing makes us happier than knowing our guests leave with a deeper appreciation of Bergen and great memories of their visit. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Norway one day!

    Amazing introduction to Bergen

    We were fortunate to have Roald lead our walking tour of Bergen. It was the first thing we did upon arriving in the city. Not only did we take us through the heavy duty tourist section, but he pointed out where he recommended shopping, etc. He also pointed out awesome cinnamon rolls/pastries and a sausage stand. Additionally, we wanted to eat and drink like the locals. We popped into a grocery store to pick out a few items…ALL of his suggestions were spot on…everything was amazing! We learned history, significance of the art/architecture/buildings, and navigated our way around the city whilst minimizing the hills. We enjoyed seeing the city through his eyes, and spent a majority of the tour outside the tourist areas and experienced what the locals see, do, shop, etc. He took photos for us, toured us through and around the fish markets, and made sure we knew how to get where we were going following our tour. He was excellent, and we lucked out having him introduce us to the city.

    Unforgettable Walking Tour!

    Teresita was absolutely amazing!! She accommodated our special celebration and was very communicative before the trip. She was extremely knowledgeable about the culture, city, and people as we walked around and hit all the key spots. We loved Teresita!

    Private Walking Tour of Bergen: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Walking Tour of Bergen cost?

    +

    Prices start at $240 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 Walking Tour of Bergen take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Walking Tour of Bergen worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 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 Walking Tour of Bergen?

    +

    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 Walking Tour of Bergen suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Walking Tour of Bergen?

    +

    Around 8 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Walking Tour of Bergen 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 Private Walking Tour of Bergen?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Tea and coffee; Alcoholic beverages; Bicycle use; and On-board restrooms. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Walking Tour of Bergen include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 48 listed pickup locations in and around Bergen. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Walking Tour of Bergen offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Private Walking Tour of Bergen?

    +

    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.

    +

    What happens to Private Walking Tour of Bergen if the weather is bad?
