Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Knowledgeable and friendly! She shared the history of Bergen and took us to local places that we would’ve never seen on our own. I highly recommend Fabiola ❤️"
"We had a very sociable and informative stroll round Bergen with Shafaq - bits of history, interesting suggestions for museums, directions regarding shopping, photo hotspots, food recommendations (and I’d say wait until you’ve spoken to Shafaq before you book dinner as I think she may have the best knowledge for every type of food!!). We certainly discovered places we wouldn’t necessarily have been to ourselves and followed up some of her ideas for the rest of our time in Bergen. Very personable and easy company - highly recommended. Thanks Shafaq 🤩"
"Nessie met my husband and I and took us on a wonderful tour of Bergen, He was very knowledgeable and informed and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. "
"It was our first time to Bergen (and Norway for that matter). Shafaq met us for a 3 hour private tour or Bergen city highlights, which was a perfect way for us to get acquainted with the city that we would be spending the next several days. She was great at telling us the history of various locations we visited, and she was a great personal photographer! But I would say the best part what that she gave us lots of great suggestions as to what to do the next several days on our own, including where to buy tickets, restaurants to try, etc. As we spent our remaining days we kept saying to each other "Shafaq said to go here... Shafaq said to eat here...". The advantage of hiring a private guide!!"

"It turned out that Shafaq was from the same city/neighborhood as me! Despite being a recent immigrant to Norway/Bergen, Shafaq was extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture of Bergen and Norway. The fact that she knew all the photo-worth spots was an added bonus (especially for my wife :-)) We had a great time walking around Bergen with Shafaq and would highly recommend her as a guide."
"Die Tour mit Nessy in Bergen war informativ, gut strukturiert und voller interessanter Einblicke in die Stadt und ihre Geschichte. Besonders schön war, dass er auch die Kinder aktiv mit einbezogen hat – so wurde es für die ganze Familie spannend. Eine rundum gelungene Führung. Vielen Dank! "
"Shafaq was prompt, friendly, and provided a lovely commentary of Bergen. She engaged well with all eight of us. Our photo ops were absolutely perfect. She provided history of Bergen and Norway; a wonderful local food tasting spot; and a lovely walk around the historical places around Bergen. If you would like an enjoyable history of Bergen walk, she’s the one to book. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Shafaq! "
"We like to get the lay of the land right when we get to a new place and Shafaq delivered! She even got me to try a reindeer hotdog. It was wonderful. I highly recommend Shafaq to tour you around Bergen."
