Tour Guide in Bergen

Post new topic

Alevtina_

Hi guys,
My name is Alevtina, I am Russian living in Spain. I´m thinking about working as a guide in Bergen for this summer season in Bergen by Expert. Did anyone worked as a guide in Bergen? Can you share your experience or give some advice?

Zdrastvujte Aleftina (I will continue in English, as not all members are familiar).

I am also considering an opportunity of moving to Norway and working as a tour guide in Bergen by Expert.

Think we are looking the same  direction!

Shubham, nice to meet you, have fun while in Norway!

yo tuve que hacer en Tromso un curso que impartia la propia asociacion de guias. duro unas 4 semanas con clases teoricas y practicas muy interesantes, el examen no era dificil.
el sueldo era de 25 euros la hora y es un tipo de ccontrato como autonomo, esto es te llaman cuando hay trabajo y te pagan por las horas realmente trabajadas. los impuestos son altos pero parte de ellos puedes solicitar que te lo devuelvan a los pocos meses, no olvides ir a la oficina de taxes i solicitarlo, dejando tus datos y cuenta corriente.
debes tener un telefono noruego y alli te avisan del trabajo, debes contestar lo mas pronto posible, sino llaman a la siguiente guia en la lista.
Ingles es un idioma muy comun, con aleman o ruso podras tener mucho mas trabajo, ¿que idiomas hablas tu? yo este verano voy a Stavanger.... si te interesa te envio la direccion de la agencia.
En cada excursion los clientes evaluan al guia, si tienes buenos feed-back te llaman mas, si tienes quejas , te llaman menos.
una habitacion vale entre unos 4000 - 5000 coronas, 500-600 euros al mes, la vida es mas cara que en españa, pero con cuidado a lo que se compra se puede hacer la cesta de la compra casi con el mismo dinero que en españa. salmon ahumado 7-8euros el kilo. carne de cerdo 23-24 euros el kilo... al final los dos son proteinas y te salvan el dia.
te dejo mi correo por si prefieres escribirme ahi.

saludos y continuamos en contacto.
