Who we are
Bergen Walking Tours is a locally owned tour company offering small-group walking tours in the heart of Bergen, Norway. Founded and run by people who live in Norway year-round, our mission is to share Bergen’s atmosphere, stories, and scenic charm with travellers seeking a more personal and meaningful experience.
We believe the best way to explore Bergen is on foot. Walking invites you to slow down, observe the details, and truly connect with the history, rhythm, and everyday character of the city. Our guided tours are thoughtfully curated to go beyond the postcard views – offering depth, context, and moments that linger.
We are not part of a large or seasonal operation. We are a small, professional team committed to high-quality guiding. Our guides bring experience, local knowledge, and a genuine connection to the region – offering a welcoming experience shaped by care, respect, and attention to detail.
Whether you are visiting Bergen for the first time or returning for a deeper look, we’re here to offer a relaxed and enriching walking tour that feels both insightful and memorable.
Our Values
Bergen Walking Tours was founded with a simple idea – to offer high-quality, locally grounded walking tours that reflect the true spirit of Bergen. We noticed a gap between large, generic tour operations and what travellers were really seeking: something personal, meaningful, and delivered with care.
As experienced guides based in Norway, we have spent years exploring Bergen not only as residents but as storytellers who understand how to bring the city’s character to life. Our tours combine well-known sights like Bryggen Wharf, the Fish Market, and Mount Fløyen with hidden streets and stories that reveal Bergen’s quieter side.
We designed every experience to feel natural and unhurried, focusing on genuine interaction rather than scripts. Today, Bergen Walking Tours is recognised for its clarity, consistency, and friendly approach. Our goal remains the same – to help guests discover Bergen on foot with authenticity, warmth, and local insight.
Walk local, walk slow
We believe walking is more than just getting from one place to another. It’s a way to explore with intention. Our tours move at a comfortable pace, giving you time to take in Bergen’s colours, textures, sounds, and quiet surprises.
Real stories, not rehearsed scripts
Our guides are locals who speak from experience. Instead of memorised commentary, we share real insights, small details, and personal moments that help you feel part of the city.
Small groups, big atmosphere
We keep our tours small on purpose. This creates a more relaxed and friendly setting where you can connect with your guide, ask questions, and enjoy the walk without feeling lost in a crowd.
Our Story
Bergen Walking Tours was founded with a clear goal: to offer high-quality, locally grounded walking tours that reflect the true spirit of Bergen. We saw a gap between large, generic tour operations and what travellers were really looking for – something personal, insightful, and delivered with care.
As experienced guides based in Norway, we’ve spent years exploring Bergen not just as residents, but as professionals who understand how to bring a city’s history and character to life. Our tours are crafted with attention to detail – combining well-known sights with lesser-known stories, and thoughtful pacing with a welcoming atmosphere.
We didn’t set out to follow a script. We set out to create a tour experience that feels natural, meaningful, and respectful – led by guides who value professionalism as much as personality.
Today, Bergen Walking Tours is a trusted local company known for its quality, consistency, and personal approach. We remain focused on one thing: helping our guests discover Bergen on foot – with clarity, depth, and genuine connection.
