5.00I loved the ability to talk to locals and learn. Added bonus was snacks. Although the last stop we didn’t have time to get out it was worth the extra time we spent at the first 3 spots.
Great intro to Haugesund

5.00Small group is the way to go. The tour included interesting stops which gave us a taste of Norwegian culture. We got tastes of local food and met very welcoming locals. The small group was able to go places the big groups couldn't. Alfonso (sp?) gave a very interesting narrative throughout the journey. Informative and entertaining.
