Wonderful city to start our Hurtigruten AstonomyVoyage...got to spend 1.5 days on-our-own before boarding M/S Kong Harald. Did our homework from home. Pre-purchased our Mt. Floren funicular rickets Erich expedited boarding the 'car.' Remarkable panoramic views of Bergen and its surrounds. Back below we we so impressed with Bryggen, the original Hanseatic merchant area, and a UNESCO HERITAGE site.

We stayed close to the Bergen harbour and enjoyed the daily walks around the area. A major turn-off was Bergenites’ stubbornness in not accepting cash and for poor service delivery in general. Ae spent three days in Bergen which ended up being too long. The ferry trip to Flåm was spectacular!

I had a great time with this tour! I did it in the morning, so the city wasn't too crowded, and I enjoyed getting a sense of the central area of Bergen. The app worked great for me, even though I didn't have data, as I downloaded everything beforehand. I liked that it was basically handsfree, so I could just walk and enjoy. A few times I got a bit off track, but that was mostly my fault because I was bad at following directions. I was always able to get back to the tour easily. I liked the history and anecdotes that were included, especially the descriptions of various statues. It took me about an hour and a half, but I took my time with it. Great experience!

Very good value. Totally worth it. We learned a lot and we will look for other cities that it is available.

I wish that it would have continued through the fish market and the tenament housing. I would have liked to know about that.

Quite a nice idea to wrap the walk up into statues and their stories, though we would love to learn more about some personalities, because not all descriptions give details about their life, work and importance. Should you want more about the history of Bergen and its hanseatic past, you need a different walk.
The walk is esy to follow, understandable and I appreciated the variety of comments. Great idea to explain some parts while walking.

This is a great option if you’re interested in the architecture and sculptures of the city with some history thrown in. You can take it at your own pace and stop or divert whenever you like. No need to keep up with the leader’s pace..

Super nice tour with many interesting details and anecdotes. The guide had a very comfortable voice, and I loved the fact that I almost didn't need to look at my phone - I was told in which direction to go, and the app automatically detected when I was at the right place for the next presentation. Such a lovely way to get a quick first impression of a new city. On top of this, I was very lucky with the weather and got some great photos of beautiful Bergen along the way.

The tour was informative and entertaining. Smart idea to talk about Bergen and Norwegian history through the description of the statues in the city centre.
First time I've used a narrated self guided tour.. great experience! It allows you to take it at your own pace.
well worth the cost! Highly recommended
