Overview

Note - this tour is only in English. For another language, please contact us for a private tour. This tour is organised by I Love Bergen, a locally owned and operated company. Our tours focus not just on the history and highlights of Bergen, but also the off-the-beaten path places and stories of everyday life.

Our minibus tour will take you to some of the most beautiful viewpoints in the city, as chosen by our local guides. This tour is perfect for those who want to escape the rain, avoid Bergen’s steep hills, or who just want to see as much of the city as possible.

The tour is led by a live, English-speaking local guide (no pre-recorded audio!). Our drive features at least four photo-stops around Bergen, all providing unique and contrasting views of the city. Because we use a minibus rather than a full-size bus, we can go where most bus tours can’t go and use this to our advantage.
