Booked on Viator, looked like an experience worth doing .. we were not disappointed.. met Frank as agreed ..

The tour was awesome and saw three of the seven mountains of on our trek that Frank changed due to the weather conditions ..

Together with Christine who was also on the trek we went to places with few people and was able to really enjoy untouched Bergen ..

I can’t recommend this enough .. frank was the best guide !!

Thanks David, next time l will set off some time for "after hike" to. The strange thing is that its normally that peaceful and not many people in the mountains around.

If you ever find yourself visiting Norway, no matter where you land in this gorgeous country, be sure to make your way to the beautiful region of Bergen. Not only will you encounter some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northern hemisphere, but if you choose wisely enough, you should join Frank Barmen on one of his tours of seven magnificent mountains.

I have traveled extensively around the world and rarely write about my personal experiences, however, mountain trekking with Frank Barmen is so utterly unique that all other mountain experiences pale into insignificance and it becomes compulsory to tell the world of such an epic experience.

You see, Frank Barmen isn’t just a highly regarded and experienced mountain guide - which is something you glean within minutes of meeting this quietly confident man. No. He is so much more than this and something noticeable immediately is his deep knowledge of Norway, Bergen, the mountain ranges and natural habitats which subsist. And still this description doesn’t do him any justice. Purely because it doesn’t even begin to describe the happiness he clearly gets from helping others to experience hiking these magnificent natural monuments and the confidence it builds as you challenge yourself. And at every step of the way, Frank offers up awesome surprises which reinforce the fact you are experiencing a truly unique adventure.

Strap yourself in for some of the most magical moments of your life!

touching, I am absolutely delighted to read this, had I not known better I would have thought you had shares in the company, but we have no shares and you came all the long way for an adventure.
You were a wonderful guest, incredibly nice to meet like-minded people who value nature as much as we do!

We took this tour when we were in port on a cruise. We opted to spend a bit more money and make it a private tour. Was well worth the money. We met our guide Daniel at the meeting point which was about a 15 minute or so walk from the port. We then headed to the funicular. We started our hike from the top of funicular and went from Mt Floyen to next peak over I believe. From start to finish it was about 5 miles of no more then moderate hiking. We saw no one else on this tour which we loved. Our guide Daniel was great and VERY knowledgeable of the area. He was kind enough to bring some moose sausage and other food items and extra water to share with us. The hike was GORGEOUS. The views were amazing. We decided to take the funicular back to the bottom but you could hike it if you wanted. We walked around Bergen for a short while with our guide before heading back to the ship. Overall a great experience. Nice thing is you can kinda make this tour what you want if you choose a private tour. Frank is also very responsive to emails which made setting this tour up easy. Would highly recommend.

Very nice to read that we deliver both on the work prior to the trip, and the guide itself. Our guides have broad knowledge, and Daniel is no exception with outdoor life and history education from the university. thank you very much for choosing your private tour and the opportunity for us to plan according to your wishes. Per person is not a private tour much more expensive than in a group.

Daniel - our guide - led us all through the mountain Floyen, with breathtaking views, tasty snacks (the guide thought of it in advance and treated us) and all sorts of conversational topics. He introduced some interesting facts, historic events and folk stories.
The tour was called ‘On top of Bergen’. Highly recommended!
