Beautiful - Stavenger is a beautiful place. ... Lots to see and do. We had paid for the V.R viking tour but it wasn't very good. Don't waste your money

Stavanger port & beyond - We throughly enjoyed our Stavanger experience. The tour was well paced and informative. It was good to explore further afield, not just the port and centre. Ole, our driver & guide, was excellent, being welcoming, friendly, and willing to answer any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

Stavanger minibus tour - Bus was comfortable. I was expecting live commentary as we rode along. Instead we got a little of both. The recorded portion was entertaining. The part on the airport defense during WWII seemed to have cut off in mid sentence so we didn’t get to hear the conclusion about the heroes that held off the German attack. The live commentary could have covered more things that we encountered during the tour.

Nice way to visit city and surrounding highlights. - The tour was very nice and informative. We were expecting a little more information from the guide personally and not so much for the recorded audio portion. Great stops, could have lengthened stop time at museum and added a few additional short photo opportunities. Overall a nice tour.

Stavanger. Sunday 10th May 2026 - The places we visited were worth the fee paid. The lack of an English speaking guide did not make the experience we wanted. Longer time to visit the museum near the end would make it more worthwhile. This was my first experience on viator and it did not make me want to use them again quickly.

Meeting point problem - We were using Google maps to get to the meeting point. When we realized it was taking us in the wrong direction, we turned around. But when we got to the correct loading point the tour had gone. We were only 10 mins late.
