History Tours in Bergen

From Witches to Trolls Bergens Crime and Myth Walk

Where history meets myth and folklore in Bergen!

​If you think a bit of Bergen rain will ruin this tour, think again—it actually sets the perfect, eerie mood. ​Here is why this tour is an absolute must-do, rain or shine: • ​Atmospheric Storytelling: The guide was fantastic—equal parts historian and master storyteller. Hearing the grim tales of the 17th-century witch trials (including the tragic story of Anne Pedersdotter) while standing on the very ground where it happened gave us genuine chills. • ​True Crime Meets Folklore: The blend of history and myth is spot on. You get the dark, historical reality of Bergen’s medieval crimes, fires, and executions seamlessly woven together with tales of mischievous troll lore. • ​Embracing the Elements: The rain honestly made the experience better. Wrapped in a rain jacket, watching the wet cobblestones glisten under dim streetlights added an extra layer of mystery that a bright, sunny day just couldn't replicate. ​Pro Tip: Wear good waterproof boots, grab a sturdy umbrella, and embrace the weather. Bergen's darker history is best served wet!

Best part of our trip to Norway

The highlight of our Norway trip! Incredible views, route and experience. Our guide, Stig Andersen, was incredible. I did not expect to learn so much about Norway’s culture and history; and Stig’s guiding, stories and jokes made the trip one of the best tours I’ve ever been on anywhere. Highly recommend this exact tour with the same guide.

Essential Bergen: 2-Hour Private Guided Walking Tour

Well worth the money

Provided a really nice overview of Bergen, from the older section to the relatively newer section of town. Nicholas was our guide and he was very informative, interesting, funny and took the time to recommend other places to visit/eat at in Bergen. The tour was an easy walk except for the 4 seasons of weather in the two hour period. Overall, I would definitely recommend the tour, especially for first time visitors to Bergen.
