Great introduction to Stavanger
velinr2026, Feb 2026
A 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...
Esther_P, Jan 2026
Minimal 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.
No Tour Happened

I 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.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your kind understanding and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your walking tour in Stavanger had to be cancelled and that our follow-up communication did not meet your expectations. The cancellation was due to unforeseen circumstances that made it impossible for our guide to conduct the tour that day. We always do our best to notify guests as early as possible and to offer alternative dates whenever available. We sincerely regret that, in this case, we were unable to arrange another time before your departure. We appreciate your kind words and your patience, and we are glad that your refund was processed promptly. We hope to have the chance to welcome you in Stavanger on a future trip and provide you with the full experience you were looking forward to. Kind regards, Manuel
STROLLING STAVANGER

Andrea gave us a very lovely and thorough tour around town. She was very sweet and engaging, and taught us many facts we would not know otherwise. My husband and I very much enjoyed our time with Andrea- strolling Stavanger!
