"Heia" and welcome to Norway! My name is Romain and I am an authorized guide and driver offering guided tours in and around the beautiful city of Bergen. I am bringing together two of my greatest passions - my admiration and love for this beautiful country in which I've lived for 17 years, the lively and inspiring city of Bergen in particular, and my desire to share and allow others to have the best experience possible to make lasting memories. Tours are covering all major sites, like the Mount Fløyen with its funicular and awe-inspiring views over the city and Fjord, the Fantoft Stave Church or Troldhaugen, the home of famous composer Edvard Grieg, as well as hidden gems and treasures that add the little something special and let you discover Bergen in its most authentic way. I like to add colour and a personal touch to my tours and let you benefit from total flexibility concerning itineraries and timing. This tour is about you and your experience; I operate on no other schedule than yours and your comfort. You feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Let's escape the crowds and explore the 7 mountains surrounding Bergen or cruise one of the many Fjords nearby. More in the mood to immerse yourself in culture ? We can get to know the famous composers Edvard Grieg and Ole Bull a little better by visiting their homes or explore Bergens lively contemporary arts scene. Contact me today to have a chat about what your perfect day in Bergen could look like! Authorized Bergen Guide since 2013

Your Bergen tour itinerary

We will start the tour from your hotel/pier in Bergen and will head towards Mount Ulriken. As this mountain is the highest of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen, its summit offers the most breathtaking view over the city. During the five-minute cable car trip up the mountain we will be able to appreciate its height as well as its importance to the city's landscape. Once we have arrived at the peak of the mountain, we will find a hot beverage and a delicious local pastry waiting for us. I will be available to provide a fascinating insight into the scenery and culture. After the descent, we will go on to visit the stave church of Fantoft. On our way back to Bergen, we will be passing by the secondary residence of Norway's Royals. This tour is about you and your experience, I operate on no other schedule than yours. Your comfort and pace are my highest priorities.
