Good use of time for a short visit to stavanger! - Excellent tour guided around the most interesting parts of the city. Useful facts and saw most of the sights. Gave good recommendations for other places to visit if we were staying for longer, however we only came for a few hours on a cruise ship. Meets conveniently outside of the cathedral but can be a little tricky to find the guide, maybe recommend a sign or an umbrella to show who you are. Really enjoyed!

Disappointment! - We were unable to find the guide and therefore, we had no walking tour of Stavenger. We made our own way around the old town and were terribly disappointed that we never connected.
