THIS IS NOT A COMEDY SHOW or STAND-UP PERFORMANCE.

This is a classic guided walking tour of Bergen, conducted in English (or in Spanish when specifically booked as a Spanish-language tour).

The experience is designed as a traditional sightseeing tour for international visitors who want to discover Bergen’s history, culture, architecture, and local life. During approximately two hours, your guide will lead the group through the city’s most important landmarks while sharing stories, historical facts, and local insights.

This tour operates on a mandatory tip-based model.

We pay platform fees for every reservation and incur operating expenses for each participant.

By joining this tour, you acknowledge that a gratuity for your guide is expected at the end of the experience. Participating in the tour and leaving without contributing to the guide is not considered acceptable and undermines the sustainability of this service.

If you are looking for a completely free of charge walking tour with no contribution expected, this tour may not be the right choice for you.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
