5.00Wear good clothes. If you don't have hiking shoes, the guide will bring it. You can do it regardless of age and energy. Prepare for the queue to take picture at the top of the mountain. Otherwise indescribable
Brilliant day

5.00I did the Preikestolen hike with Ivan and it was such a great experience. He was super friendly and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. He adjusted the pace so no one was left behind and always checked that we were doing okay. Ivan also told us interesting things about the the area and the history which made the hike more fun. The trail was really beautiful and not too hard but still a bit challenging and the views were incredible. He also took some really nice photos for us during the hike which I really appreciated. I really recommend going with Ivan if you’re planning to hike Preikestolen. He made the whole experience safe and memorable
Review for Alexander

5.00We had a great experience with Alexander taking us on a hike to Preikestolen off the main trail and away from the noisy crowds. There were only 4 people in our group and the hike was more challenging than the groomed trail, but we were able to enjoy spectacular views that most tourists don't see. Alex shared some of the history of Norway's kings and the oil industry in Stavanger. The highlight of the hike was when we reached a vista high above Preikestolen and were able to look down on the crowded Pulpit Rock and see even more of Lysefjord and the surrounding landscape. The round trip was about 6 hours on a beautiful, sunny day with just a brief drizzle of rain on our way back down. Alexander was great and we had a top notch experience!

4.00Teodo was nice enough to make arrangement for us after some mishap with his company van. He's friendly and helpful on the hike.
