Additional Information

Experience the city from a local’s perspective. You have the leisure to personalize the journey or let the local suggest an insightful tour around the city. Your travels should be focused not solely on the landmarks but also on the people you encounter. Our on-foot tours are designed to bypass the common, history-focused sightseeing and offer a live demonstration of the city from a native’s viewpoint. Journey with us and redefine your travelling style. Let it be about the novel relationships you form alongside your new experiences. Our local escorts, dubbed as Lokafyers, display a deep passion for their hometown and look forward to sharing their knowledge and personal view. Since Lokafyers aren’t professional guides and only occasionally musters a tour, you’ll enjoy a much more genuine and intimate city tour, like being shown around by a friend. By the end of this journey, you’ll be capable of effortlessly exploring the city and secure in your knowledge to maximise your stay.

  • Lokafy tours provide a general overview of the city with practical information from a local’s perspective, not detailed historical facts
  • In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)
  • Tours are entirely personalized, please provide the start time, meeting place and information about you so that we can organize the tour
  • This is a walking tour. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately

Great break - Despite mediocre weather we had a great short trip to Stavanger. We stayed in the excellent Radisson Blu in the centre of the Town and enjoyed trips on the Hop on Hop off bus and cruise of the Linsefiord. Excellent restaurants, welcoming people, very clean city -only regret was we could not see the Cathedral which is undergoing extensive refurbishment.

Great Tour - Great guide who showed us the entire town with lots of interesting commentary. Also gave us chances to rest that was very important.

Great walking tour through Stavanger - Our guide Anatoly was funny and knowledgeable. We did a two hour walking tour through Stavanger and he timed the tour perfectly- and was able to tailor the tour to our interests. . A great way to learn about life in Stavanger.

Great tour of Stavanger - Anatoly was a great guide. Although not a long time local, he obviously did his homework and provided a ton of interesting information on the history and present day life in Stavanger.

Guided tour of Stavanger - Miroslava gave an excellent and fascinating walking tour of Stavanger. She clearly has a detailed knowledge of the history and culture of the area and despite poor weather conditions, we covered a wide area of the city over the 2 hours. Thankyou!

Excellent guide! - Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We became Facebook friends after our experience. She showed us around the town of Stavanger, Norway, and we learned about the town and her relationship to it.

Beware of "Local" - We knew our guide was not a professional guide but ours was not even a local. Plus she couldn't walk. We just let her go early because we were dragging her around. She added no value, knew nothing, wasted our time. Maybe you will get lucky, we were not.
