Welcome to Bergen! I am a Private Guide that offers Private Tours all over Bergen. Bergen is a city I welcome in my life, always! Come rain or come shine :) I was born and raised in Bergen. Bergen is known as a City of Culture as well as Gateway to the Fjords. I have International experience from working for SAS, Scandinavian Airlines, several years. I am also an Authorized Bergen Guide and Oslo Guide, and speak English fluently. Presently I love to walk around Bergen while taking you to the historic sites and telling about the city's fascinating history. A walking tour may also include a ride with the Funicular, Floibanen, up mount Floien for a great view of Bergen and it's surroundings. A short walk or hike on mount Floien is an option. Among my other favourites are visits to Troldhaugen, the home of composer Edvard Grieg, the art museums (Munch and other Norwegian painters), organic bakery (the best "Skillingsbolle" and sandwiches). At the Bergen Aquarium I love watching the feeding of the penguines and sea-lions - they even have tarantulas and anaconda there …. all behind glass; thankfully! Tours can be individually customized. Looking forward to be seeing you soon in Bergen! I can also guide you into the fjords surrounding Bergen. Authorized Bergen Guide since 2007 and Oslo Guide since 2017. Air Purser for SAS, Scandinavian Airlines. Registered Homeopath. In Norway you need a professional driver license to drive for services. My tours are either by public transportation, walking, or I need to hire a car with driver. It is also possible to use taxi. This must be paid on the spot. You may pay by credit cards.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was a great pleasure guiding your lovely family around Bergen. Wishing you all the best. Kind regards, Solveig
I found Solveig to be a great local guide for what I wanted to see. She knows a lot of history for the area which is really helpful to learn while touring. The rain stopped just as we reached Mt. Floyen and we spent quality time in Bryggens. An added bonus was her dinner recommendation for after the tour and her ability to convince the restaurant to accommodate me...

I am very happy that you enjoyed the dinner. I greatly enjoyed our walk together. I hope the rest of your travel went smoothly. Kind regards, Solveig
This was the perfect 3 hour tour with Solveig. She was very knowledgeable about Bergen with great historical stories about the area that we would have never known otherwise. Also hidden areas that we would not have explored on our own. Highly recommend this tour if visiting Bergen. Thank you Solveig for a memorable day.
