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 hidden alleys and stories of everyday life.
The first half of our tour focuses on the history of Bergen. We wander the fortress complex, covering Bergen’s medieval history and short period as the capital of Norway. After this crash course in Norwegian history, we make our way to Bryggen – Bergen’s UNESCO Site. Here you learn about 1,000 years of trade history and the reason for Bergen’s founding and growth.
The second half of our tour is about life in Bergen. We leave the ‘touristy’ part behind and wander into the neighbourhood surrounding Bryggen. As you explore Bergen’s best kept secret, you’ll learn about everyday life. The tour ends by passing by our favourite cafes, restaurants, with recommendations for things to do.
Our group sizes are limited so you can ask questions!

Our tour was on a beautiful, warm day. Janine was quite knowledgeable with respect
to past and current history and architecture of the areas of Bryygen that we visited, and living life as an expat in Norway )which was fascinating. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

Eirik was a very patient and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this trip as soon as you arrive in Bergen as it will help you understand the history and guide you for the rest of your time there. I’ve been on a few Viator trips in Europe and have always had an excellent experience.

Walking through the wooden buildings and structures and the narrow residential streets. This brings the historical information into life.
