Hi there! Nice to meet you

Shafaq

An engaging food lover and travelling enthusiast. I love talking to people about the places I have been with and listen to their travel stories.

Bergen is a beautiful city to explore any day of the year. Sharing my experiences of this city's exploration is exciting and unmatched. I have been working in tourism for many years now and love exchanging ideas, food adventures, mountain tours and country views.

I am a foodie and bergen has some great food to taste. Among all other tours 10 tastings is my favorite 💓 as in this tour i not only introduce you to some amazing food items but also lots of useful information about the city that will help you during your visit. Cherry on top is you get to take home some edible souvenirs to cherish norway 🎊

Let's go out there and try some most delicious foods, drinks and views in picturesque Bergen.

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 🤩Sunshine and sharing

Our time in Bergen was truly elevated thanks to Shafaq, who was more than just a guide—she felt like a local friend showing us around her city. From the very start, Shafaq brought Bergen to life with rich stories, historical insights, and a personal touch that made every corner feel meaningful. She picked us from our hotel. She didn’t just walk us through the sights—she gave us recommendations, took pictures of us, and made sure we experienced the city in a way that felt both authentic and special. We had the most engaging conversations; it was genuine, open, and so refreshing. If you’re ever in Bergen and want more than just a typical tour, book time with Shafaq. You’ll walk away with great memories, beautiful photos, and possibly even a new friend. Thank you, Shafaq, for making Bergen feel like home for a day! 🌟An unforgettable experience 🌼

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!!The perfect tour!

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.A small world!

I highly recommend Shafaq. We had a great time. Her English was very good. She helped us with places we wanted to go later by taking us near and showing us how to get there like the funicular. She was good with the history of Norway and many anecdotes from her experiences. She was also very accommodating and had good communication before during and after the tour.exploring Bryggen

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! Amazing tour of Bergen!

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.Exactly what we wanted, very informative

Eclectic Food & Drink of Bergen Norway! Spending time with Shafaq and exploring unique food stops in the Bergen, Norway central area was a fantastic treat! The consummate host, Shafaq took us to 3 Kroneren for an absolutely delicious Reindeer Hot Dog! Then we went to Fisketorget to explore this stunning fish store filled with a wonderful assortment of fish. We had a wonderful sampling of some of the best prepared mussels that I have ever had, along with a sampling of Minke whale—delicious! And, this was complemented by the best glass of Aquavit! Then we strolled over to sostrene Hagelin where we tasted some wonderful fish cakes, fish chowder, and salmon roll-ups. And, again, absolutely delicious! And, then our final stop was at Deli Luca and had some wonderful sweets with coffee! Our experience was most memorable and we will cherish our time with Shafaq. She introduced us to wonderful Norwegian food while we also learned about Norwegian Culture. Thank you Shafaq! Eclectic Food & Drink of Bergen Norway!
