Historian, storyteller and authorized Tour Guide.
“I take you there.”

My viking forefather Egill Skallagrimson once found himself caught at a feast in the Hall of his deadly enemy King Erik Bloodaxe - he spoke a poem of the warrior virtue of Erik, and walked out alive. Travellling and tale-telling run in my blood. From Egill, and from Swedish, German, Jewish - and Danish ancestors too numerous to name.

Partners in guiding

I draw upon a network of tourist guides, entertainers and qualified people.
Byvandring.nu uses authorisered tour guides for most assignments. They are trained at Roskilde University, and speak more than 25 languages between them. They’re knowledgeable about city and country, and are adept at fulfilling group and individual demands.
Please specify language preference and special interests when booking a tour.
