We went on the Top of Bergen hike with Jon before our cruise to Iceland. Such a great hike tailored to our abilities and included beautiful views. Jon was so knowledgeable about the Bergen area as well as Norway in general. We feel that he went above and beyond and loved the reindeer sausage and muesli bars he brought for snacks. This was our first day in Bergen and could not have been better. Jon made the hike so much fun!Used Norway Mountain guides with my family in Bergen and two of their guides took us on an absolutely beautiful hike!

Used Norway Mountain guides with my family in Bergen and two of their guides took us on an absolutely beautiful hike!

We did this hike as a cruise excursion organised by Silversea. Our guide was Norman and he was great and full of interesting information. We started by walking to the funicular then hiking from the top of the lift on a marked trail. The hike was not demanding though there were some uphill sections. We are a reasonably fit couple in our late 60s and we managed it easily. The organisation and timekeeping was excellent and I would definitely use this company againFrank took us on a perfect hike to the top of Bergen. At the top he had us sit alone for 10 minutes to take it all in at a deeper level. He brought snacks and drinks. Everything was perfect!!
