Food and culture walk of Bergen
In the afternoon, use all your senses to take in the city of Bergen. This tour takes you through Bergen's history and lets you try local food and learn about it. Learn about the history and traditions of food in Bergen from a local guide who speaks English. On our food tour, we focus on local goods and things that people have made themselves. The guide will take you around the old part of the city, and there you will make five stops to try different foods. We will go to Bryggen, which is on the list of world heritage sites maintained by UNESCO. A small restaurant run by locals in what used to be a public bath offers another taste. The food should be enough for lunch, and the last stop will be at the oldest cellar in Norway, where a special story will be told over a glass of beer.

Later, you can go on your own to one of Norway's most popular and well-known sights— the Fløibanen funicular in Bergen. It takes about 5–8 minutes to get to the top, which is 320 m above sea level. Mount Floyen has many hiking trails and is a great place to start a nice walk in the mountains around the city.

Hi! The trip was unbelievable! We saw fantastic Northern Lights dancing in the Arctic sky every night! It was unbelievable. We made stunning photos. Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience! Best regards, Jean Walden
Sten Nuumelin 27 February 2026
We went on this tour in February and the weather was freezing. Warm clothes is a must here. The views were just amazing every day - breathtaking, indescribable. It’s something you want to see in your life. The guides were very professional just like the entire tour operation. Couldnt expect anything better. Nordic Saga Tours can be recommended 100%. - Sten Nuumelin
Betty Kirby 24 December 2025
On the very first night when we are suppose to meet the tour guide, there needs to be a sign or some other means of telling us where to meet or who to meet. This information should also be given to the hotel front desk know. I looked for the meeting location/person for more than half an hour and never found her. The hotel did not have any information. We did not know what time we needed to leave the following morning. Thankfully, our guide was able to find us. The rest of the tour went well.

A wonderfully planned experience. Thank you. We loved it. I would make only 2 tiny suggestions for your itinerary that you sent. Please add in Bergen when arriving at the airport, you meet Bergen Taxi outside by the taxi line, not in arrivals as stated, also in Bergen when meeting the food and culture tour at the fish market, you meet the guide outside at the entrance to visitor information, no at visitor information. This changes may remove a few very minor moments of wonder and anxiety.
Do you have other independent itineraries throughout the world? Please send me a link so I can review.
Many thanks

We did the Husky and Snowmobile Tour in Tomso in January. The tour was really well organized. The guides were all great. We had truly magical experiences as we were lucky to catch the Northern Lights – they were just green color but truly magical. The whole tour was magical! The scenery was mind-blowing. Thank you for the fantastic experience!

Hi Dora, the overall trip was very successful Although we were informed that there was a slight chance to see the aurora, we made it! It was wonderful that we saw these fantastic sky lights the whole time we were chasing them. The landscapes everywhere were breath taking and we had such a great time! The guide Magnus was very friendly and knowledgeable. He give a lot info about the northern lights, local customs and habits and about Tromso. Thank you for arranging this fantastic trip for us!
