Uncover the best of Bergenhus Fortress the local Way

"We had a nice time in Bergen with Shafaq. We felt like we were with a friend who was showing us around her hometown. We learned some history and learned what locals do and eat. She was very patient with our group that had varying needs! "

"Shafaq was a fantastic tour guide! She was very knowledgeable on the history of Bergen and brought me to several great sites. She pointed out some “must try” restaurants and even took me to the local fish market. We continued our walking tour to the main Square and shopping mall, where she treated me to a local cinnamon bun and cappuccino, it was absolutely delicious! Afterwards, we took a ride up to the top of one of the Bergen Mountains, where we had a beautiful view of the entire city. A perfect day in Bergen with a most enjoyable guide!"

"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 🤩"

"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."

"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."
