My name is Tommy and my last name translates into ''Cutehill'' in English :) - All of my tours can be customized or, one can be made from scratch! I was born and raised in Bergen. My deep knowledge and experience of Bergen and Norways rich history and culture is based on a lifetime of living here. I have only lived outside Bergen for a couple years in the oil capital of Norway, Stavanger. I missed my homeplace alot so I returned. I settled in Bergen for good, where I have lived over 20 years since. I have hiked all the peaks, mountains and paths criss cross Bergen so that is my passion. Tennis is my second passion, I but due to the Norwegian climate its not many months I can play that outdoors. I love sports in general! I also like to take part in the cultural offers my city has to offer with festivals and other fun events. Its safe to say I'm a "people's person" I started to do tours in Bergen and west coast of Norway in 2016 to improve my interpersonall skills as I stand in front of a crowd/bunch of people quite often in my regular job as a proj mng. I did not turn back since day one. It is so rewarding to help visitors/travellers leave Bergen with a a good impression of my city and what it has to offer. I love my regular job which have a lot of flexibility where I control the days/weeks/months myself as long as I produce. The time I am available I love to meet new people from all over the world and its very rewarding to give a good experience visiting Bergen. I am also getting a lot of really nice friendships and connections through this so I feel very honoured for every single person I am given the oportunity to take on a tour around Bergen or nearby area. I have a ton of time around the unknown and known streets, paths and trails of Bergen and I am confident I can give a really good experience visiting Bergen. I did not memorize all the exact years when all historic events took place, but I definately know the city's history and most of the timeline enough to give the visitors a ride through the past and present when visiting Bergen with me. One thing I also take serious is time. I always show up on time and I dont finish a tour before time, usually its hard for me to finish on booked time, but I try to keep a timeline as people may have plans. One thing that is important when travelling is time, that is why that is something I value a lot on behalf of everyone doing a tour with me. I am a true Bergen patriot which the city is known for having many of, but I like to believe I am one of the biggest :) I always reach out and communicate with visitors as early as possible prior to arrival in Bergen to hear the expectations and set up a plan and make the most of the stay. I am not the kind of "host" that meet you at designated scheduled time and say goodbye when time says the tour finished. I am with you from you book the tour and until year leave Bergen/Norway. Quite often I am also in touch also after leaving Norway with those who wish. I mentioned before I have done this since 2016 and I have formed many friendship's since then with travellers from all over the world and I feel lucky for every one I met, also those I did not speak to after. I grew as a human being after each and every single tour and feel lucky for having this oportunity. I welcome all of you who decided to visit Bergen even if you dont book a tour I am honoured you chose Bergen :) - Licenced Bergen guide since 2016. - 9 years experience doing tours in Bergen / western Norway. - Lived in Bergen all my life and know the city and its history very well - Done hundreds of tours, never been late to a single one ( proud )

This tour will take you to the highlights of what Bergen city centre has to offer as well as hidden gems off the beaten track. I will show you the city in a unique way, share stories from the past and present of this wonderful city. From a local's perspective. The tour can be customized/extended if there are any special requests before or during the tour. Example, doing the funicular to mount fløyen can easily be added to the tour along with any other sights. We can also end the tour by any desired attractions such as Fløyen. I will also be helpful with suggestions and recommendations for the remaining part of your journey in Bergen & Norway.
Tommy was knowledgeable and approachable, answering our questions throughout. His pace was great for our group. He helped us find things we wanted to do after our tour! Would recommend Tommy
Tommy was amazing our communication over the prior 10 months was fantastic. We had rain and he managed still to give us a great tour. I cannot imagine a better experience.
Tommy is eager to personalize your tour. We followed his planned route but asked if we could end our tour at the funicular as we were planning on doing that after his tour. He took away from the busy touristy area to explore the beautiful sights, the streets, houses and historical sites that are in the hills behind the harbor. He suggested the best fjord tour, took us to the ticket booth to buy our tickets for the following day. I highly recommend Tommy for your tour guides. Christina
Very nice, showed us what we needed to see, we had a large group of 10.
We had an excellent walking tour in Bergen for the morning before we boarded our Coastal Ferry cruise with Havila. Tommy's communication in advance was excellent including giving us important pointers about dining choices. He was flexible and considerate throughout. He included lots of information about Norway and Bergen in particular. Definitely recommend.
We had one full day in Bergen to take it all in. I asked Tommy to help us make the most of it and he delivered!! We rode the funicular, hiked down to the city, took in the history, admired the architecture, rode the ferry to the local park, walked the charming residential neighborhood, then snuck in a private sauna and cold dunk out in the fjord. It was fantastic! Tommy is knowledgeable AND a pleasure to be with. I wouldn't change a thing.
