Great introduction to Stavanger

5.00A wonderful tour in the historical center of Stavanger. Our guide Andrea tailored the experience to our interests, including tidbits of Norwegian words and fun facts. One warning, the weather in this part of Norway can be unpredictable. Look out for the forecast and dress accordingly.
Minimal walking to sites...

1.00Minimal walking to sites one could easily find alone….sadly guided by a Spaniard, who could tell us little of Norwegian life, & not even aware of the popularity of saunas ; indeed she did not understand the word sauna. On the plus side she was ‘trying hard’ & went over the allotted 2 hrs. Too little walking & too cold to stand around.

2.00I never got to go and was told the night before that my tour got canceled. No reason. I had to reach out to them as to explain why the cancellation. They did respond. Although, I asked if I could do the tour on another day, and they said they would get back to me. Unfortunately, they did not. I did get my money back but this experience left me a bit sad because I was looking forward to this walking tour.

5.00We only booked the morning of the tour, the communication was great, we were sent a maps link to let us know here to go. Andrea was brilliant, so much information, she provided an extra numbers game which taught us extra bits about the country. She was a pro. It’s always worth booking a local to guilds you around the place that they live. The tour was walkable, I’m sure if you had issues with your mobility it could be amended to meet your need. Can’t praise the experience enough. Thank you.
