The Hardangerfjord Tour

Although you may have seen some of Norway’s beautiful fjords in pictures, they can’t do the real thing justice.

Your Bergen tour guide will show you the steep snow-capped mountains, the beautiful green orchards (depending on the time of year), waterfalls, ravines, and more – all in a breathtaking eight-hour tour packed with photo opportunities and stops at cultural centers of your choice.

The Bergen Highlights Tour

If you only have a limited time to spend in the city, your Bergen tour guide can take you on a two-hour tour that focuses on the city’s highlights. You will get an overview of the city’s history and structure, and the visual tour focuses on the downtown area of Bergen as well as the busy harbor. You will have an opportunity to see the wharf, the city’s gorgeous park, and even a variety of museums that you can visit later in your trip.

Bergen is filled with rustic charm and breathtaking mountains that make it seem an entire world away, but at the same time, it offers all of the modernity you would expect. Bergen tour guides can help you customize your trip to your liking and show you all of the culture, art, and nature you could ever want.
