    We enjoyed the tour. The guide and the driver were great. The only problem was that I had to purchase the tickets we needed to get in. I understood that it was included in the tour price.

    This tour is exceptional and a great way to make the most of your time in Bergen and included a visit to the historical city center, Stave church and the Grieg House. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and provided valuable insight into the best areas to visit in the city center. We visited Bergen before and were impressed with the guides willingness to tailor the tour to our specific interests. We have a background in music so a visit to the Grieg house was a priority during our trip. Our guide was organized and handled all of the logistics so we did not have to spend valuable time working out transportation, ticketing or waiting in line. Thank you to our guide for sharing your knowledge and for making this a memorable experience for us.

    We went early to avoid the crush as only groups of 20 people can fit in the house at a time. A very modest house but well kept and contains some interesting artifacts. Interesting atmosphere too, quiet and clam with good decor and lots of original features. The concert hall is nearby and we were fortunate to be able to attend a short piano recital by a Japanese pianist. Altogether a very satisfying visit, would certainly recommend.

    This was an amazing experience. Our driver Fraid made sure we got everything out of the experience we wanted and even went out of his way to show us things along the way that he felt would be interesting to us. He is very knowledgeable about the area and had many interesting historical stories to tell. I would do this tour again any time with him.

    Travenor was an excellent guide. His knowledge of Norwegian history, geography, and culture helped us for our entire 10 day expedition of this great and beautiful country. Since the Edvard Grieg home was several miles outside of Bergen, we opted to have a guided driving tour to get there. Immediately from our hotel, Travenor filled us with words well beyond printed travel books. He fielded questions, took us to the historic fort, a Stave church, and Troldhaugen. In addition, he took us to a bank and another specialty store which we requested. I would absolutely recommend this tour and that you request Travenor as a guide.
