The tour guide showed up... - The tour guide showed up in front of our hotel right at time. She’s very chill and detail oriented. She would introduce some history of Norway during the hike. Also introduce us some local plants. We learned a lot and had a bunch of cool picture on the top. Best view ever at Norway. The hike is very manageable even if you’re not physically strong.

Amazing guide and experience! - Paul was incredibly prompt to pick us up at our hotel, which was so convenient. He led a great tour and was very responsive to the needs and hiking abilities of the group. And he took fabulous photos of each of us that we will have forever! The route down was especially beautiful as he got us away from the many people hiking the regular trail and let us experience the sights and sounds of the mountain without the crowds.

A Walk to Pulpit Rock - I enjoyed the hiking a lot. The view was so stunning and it just made you stay there longer watching how Norway has combined itself so inclusively and incredibly with Nature. Nature itself is full of power full of attractions. When you really come here, your mind will calm down coz you will admire and be amazed how sensational Nature is. Ofz you will be excited in front of such a pure view shaped by time by history by everything from Nature itself. Needa mention our guide Ken ( not sure if I spelled it correctly loll ) who is so helpful and responsible. He is on time for the pick up. He guided us all the way and prepared food. Thank you Ken.

Pulpit Rock Ordeal (but so rewarding) - It is brutally difficult and not recommended for amateur hikers or those not in good physical shape. But it is a unique experience and thrilling and beautiful at the top. Definitely recommend using poles and focus down where you place every step.

Pulpit Rock with Kenth - Our guide (Kenth) was great! He was helpful and made sure we were wearing the right type of clothing and hiking shoes. I have a fear of heights, everything was fine but 100 meters before Pulpit Rock I stopped and stayed put. Kenth guided our group to Pulpit Rock, then came back for me. Thanks Kenth, you made our day!!!

Amazing place, great guide, avoided crowds, - A incredible view at the top. Kurt was great- we had a chill time with him on not an easy hike - was definitely grateful for hiking boots with high ankle support. Kurt kindly stopped to show us some petroglyphs on the way home too. We avoided the crowds by going early so got some cool photos too! Thanks!

Do not book the tour; go on your own. - The tour basically consisted of a car ride to the entrance of El Pulpito. The guide did not provide us with any information about the place or comments about the country at any time. In my case, since I walked quickly, I got separated from the group. So it was basically a car tour. The worst part was when they tried to charge me for the rain jacket. The agency changed the day of the tour, and I had already accepted it. But they did not have the courtesy to waive the payment considering it was a tour on my own. I did not feel that the guide was prepared; he was friendly but more of a driver. In short, go on your own; I made the mistake of not informing myself more and lost almost 100 dollars.
