    I really liked the Bergen's University District VoiceMap tour, the botanical garden is beautiful, the description of university life is lively and entertaining, now I feel like studying in Bergen:) It is great to be able to do it without adapting to a big group and being able to stop and resume the walk anytime. Done this after previously doing city center walking tour and it gave me lots of new information.
