Heisan og velkommen til Bergen! My name is Thierry and I live in Bergen, Norway. Many years ago, I came to visit the city and fell in love. Few months later, that little inner voice, that was constantly questioning me about the purpose of my life, pushed me to change! I couldn't continue to ignore it and decided to move to Norway and start something new! Since then I became an authorized guide for the city of Bergen and have been doing few-hours-sightseeing excursions in the city as well as multiple-days-trips with both small private groups and up to 100-persons groups all over Norway. I take a tremendous pleasure in showing my new home town and the amazing sceneries we have in the region! I'm also keen on sharing stories with visitors on culture, history and what make Bergen a unique city. Apart working as a guide, I also work as a CrossFit L2 trainer in a gym which is my second passion. As hobby I enjoy taking photographs. Bergen is a colorful city with an autenthic Norwegian spirit and has a small-town charm and atmosphere. It is the perfect gateway to visit the two most important fjords of Norway that are accessible in a day trip from the city. Bergen is famous for the seven mountains surrounding the city centre, the Hanseatic Wharf, the fish market, the composers Edvard Grieg and Ole Bull and contemporary musicians like Kygo and the band A-HA! I can suggest tours or help you plan that exclusive, individual and personal itinerary which is exactly to your liking (or dedicated to your interests), informative, and above all, fun. I will guide you in Bergen or into our superb countryside and typical fjords. So welcome again to Bergen and let's make your time here fantastic!

Discover Bergen’s Historic Heart (2-Hour Private Tour)
Overview of your Bergen tour
Step into the soul of Bergen with an intimate, private walking tour designed for first-time visitors and experienced travelers alike. In just 2 hours, you’ll stroll through narrow cobbled alleys, past centuries‑old wooden houses, and visit top landmarks like Bryggen (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Maria Church/St. Mary’s Church, Bergen Fortress, and the lively Fish Market. I will bring the city’s story to life—from its Viking roots through its Hanseatic trade era to the vibrant modern city of today.

Thierry was a superstar during our two hour tour in Bergen in terrible weather! Storm Amy brought rain and the strongest winds in 25+ years to Bergen but it did not hinder Thierry (nor us) during the two hours we spent together. Thierry was knowledgeable about the unique history & geography of Bergen and made great recommendations - we dined each of three nights at his recommended restaurants and were not disappointed. He also directed us to a coffee shop with the best cinnamon rolls:) We would strongly recommend spending two hours with Thierry early in your visit to Bergen. He will set you up for a successful stay. Thank you Thierry!

Theirry gave our group of five an excellent five hour tour of old Bergen. Excellent grasp of the history, answered all of our questions, and gave us a great overview of today’s life in the city and in Norway. Highly recommend him.

This was a fantastic introductory tour to Bergen. Just the right pace and amount of information to give us an overview of the city. We appreciated the hotel meet up, walkability of the tour, the sites we visited and the recommendations for other things to do in our second day of the city. Thank you for such an informative and personalized tour.
