Island hopping and Sauna

My name is Tommy and my last name translates into ''Cutehill'' in English :) 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 )
