4.City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 108 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $51

A flexible hop-on hop-off bus route through Bergen with English audio, 13 stops, and easy access to Bryggen, churches, and Funicular views.

“We were here on a ship, so it was on a crowded day. So, maybe most of my comments reflect these crowded times. Not much to see here in my opinion, and everywhere we stopped was crowded. The bus stop to board was actually #8 from where our ship docked, so we walked quite a distance from the ship. The information on the recorded tapes on the bus were sometimes difficult to understand, due to the accent of the talker and due to the quality of the audio equipment. So, overall I would not recommend. Just walk around town if you want to see the area.”

We were greeted by our tour guide, Vlad, in the hotel lobby at our requested time. He quickly helped us devise a travel plan around the city that best fit our demands as we had no idea where we should go. We then got on board his nicely furnished 7-seater with a bottle of complementary water for all of us.
