5.00We arrived by cruise ship. Meet up was well organised. It was a small tour. 6 people in total which was very thoughtful as the guide was able to keep a track of us. He was very friendly, knowledgeable about the area and an experienced hiker. He was very consider too and privided walking sticks and a bar of chocolate. He well paced the hike. Smaller group definitely was beneficial as less waiting if it was a larger group. Thank you
Good experience

4.00I was very excited to partake in this experience. I would highly recommend this tour group and hike. However, with that being said, come prepared for a hike. I am not a hiker, but I am an athlete and am fairly fit and do work out. I wore a light hiking sneaker by on cloud and it was not suitable for this hike. It is important to have good gear regardless of how prepared you are. I will also write a review on the on cloud hiking shoes. I slipped once, bounced back and was fine. But took 2 tumbles. This terrain is significantly rocky and it was a wet drizzle day. I could have been hurt far worse and obviously took the risk on my own. The tour guys were a great help and looked out for me provided tips and I got thru it. Make sure you have the right hiking shoes!!
Excellent Hike Experience

5.00Beautiful and impressive guided hike. Great stories in between. Wonderful views. Times were perfectly observed and first-class communication in advance. We were picked up right at the exit of the cruise ship and brought back on time. Extra star 🌟 for hiking trails far from the crowd, which only the guides are allowed to go. Highly recommended! Every cent was worth it!
The site is amazing!

5.00A "breathtaking" view!!! Much deserves the "little" physical effort to get there! Many people (it was the end of August! ); the climb at the end of the day allowed a "quiet" descent!
A Stavanger must!!

5.00Our guide, Teodore (not sure I spell it right) is very friendly and patient. He’s really good taking video and photos. Very glad to meet him, he’s also very good at pacing everyone on the way up to the Pulpit Rock.
