Bergen Hike with Hector - Our group of 7 had a lovely day with Hector! He was so accommodating to our group’s needs and very communicative. He had a lot of knowledge about the area and chose a fantastic hike for us. We were exhausted after the tour, but still found the energy to retell stories from the day and discuss how perfect everything was all evening. I would definitely recommend Hector, he was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He even brought us some delicious local snacks- what else could we want in a guide? 5/5 stars!

Great hike with great guide - We had a great hike! The was very well organised, we did not have to do anything after booking except putting on our hiking boots and enjoying the scenery. Our tour guide, Marise, was great! She offered many interesting insights and provided assistance wherever necessary. She really made this a hike to remember. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Bergen

Laughter in the highlands of Bergen - Fun, lovely caring guide who tailored the experience to our needs (or knees…). Adjusted to the minor challenges that come with a hike in the woods! We had the best time!!! Recommend Marise highly, would have loved to take her home with us.

Funicular and hike - Omar met us at a convenient meeting point. He took us on a hike / walk to the funicular and we boarded together with a crowd to the top. Then we went on a lovely hike, saw a pond, ducks and he had us stop for a traditional snack he brought us at the picnic tables. We continued hiking and then later caught the funicular back down. He then walked with us toward our ship. He was very helpful and we enjoyed our hike together.

Great like hike - Omar was a great guide, took us of the beaten track was very knowledgeable. Would well recommend this tour if you like the mountains, not too strenuous but not suitable for the occasional walker. Had a traditional snack, provided by Omar, at the mountain cabin. A good 3 hour walk money well spent.
