Why Bergen is better with me?
Let’s be honest: you can find the way to Bryggen using Google Maps, but Google won’t tell you which cobblestone hides a 300-year-old secret or where to find the absolute best cinnamon bun to survive the Bergen rain.

I don’t just "do tours"- I translate Bergen for you.
I’ll lead you through the Fish Market like a pro to taste the real norwegian "white gold." Plus, I’ll show you where to find the city's most legendary coffee and the best local craft beer spots. I’ll show you hidden details and lead you to the most Instagrammable photo spots that only locals know.

Traveling with kids? I’ve got you covered! We’ll turn the tour into an adventure with interactive Bingo or a mini-quest, so the little Vikings stay engaged while you enjoy the history.

I’ll share expert tips on how to choose the perfect fjord tour.
You’ll arrive as a tourist, but you’ll leave feeling like a Bergen insider. Let’s make some memories—book your spot, and let’s go exploring!

    Edvard Grieg Statue

    Known as the 'Chopin of the North,' he created melodies you have almost certainly heard in movies, cartoons, and even commercials! As he once beautifully put it: 'From the singing of birds, one could compose an infinite number of symphonies, if only one knew how to listen.' Yet, showing his true Norwegian wit, he also joked: 'I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it.' This was Maestro Edvard Grieg—the most famous Bergenite of all time!

    Rosenkrantz Tower, the most prominent medieval landmark in Norway, served for centuries as both a formidable fortress and a grand royal residence.

    In the very heart of the city, we will pause at the Sailors' Monument (Sjomannsmonumentet)—a magnificent bronze tribute to Norway’s seafaring soul.

It is more than just a monument; it is a visual epic of how the ocean shaped a nation, told through stunning reliefs that reveal stories of courage, survival, and Bergen’s destiny as a maritime capital
