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!

Great customized tour with Thierry. He was flexible and really helped us maximize our short time in Bergen.
Jalynn B.United States
Our time in Bergen was short as we were on a cruise ship, but we felt like we got so much ground covered in the short time we were there!! Not only did we see so much and experience great things like eating all types of fishes and experiences our first yummy Norwegian chocolate, but feel like we got an all around feel for Bergen. Thierry is so personable and kind - we definitely feel we left a new friend behind.
Dania T.United States
Thierry was a great guide. We saw all the old part of the city, took the funicular to the top of the mountain and walked to a lake! We ended in with a fish tasting. He's a great, laid back guide and would recommend him!
Julie M.United States
Thierry was a great guide throughout Bergen. We enjoyed our time seeing the sites and tasting the local food. He was quick to adapt to our speed (there were 10 of us with a wide range of ages) and kept us all interested in all that Bergen had to offer.
