Tolle Organisation ****** - Beautiful and impressive guided hike. Great stories in between. Wonderful views. Times were perfectly observed and first-class communication in advance. We were picked up right at the exit of the cruise ship and brought back on time. Extra star 🌟 for hiking trails far from the crowd, which only the guides are allowed to go. Highly recommended! Every cent was worth it!

The site is amazing! - A "breathtaking" view!!! Much deserves the "little" physical effort to get there! Many people (it was the end of August! ); the climb at the end of the day allowed a "quiet" descent!

A Stavanger must!! - Our guide, Teodore (not sure I spell it right) is very friendly and patient. He’s really good taking video and photos. Very glad to meet him, he’s also very good at pacing everyone on the way up to the Pulpit Rock.

Beautiful tour to Preikestolen - Hi Alexander, we would like to thank you again for the tour to Preikestolen on 29.08.2025. We were very happy that you picked us up at the port. The tour off the Touri highway was very nice and your stories about Norway were very interesting. You also tried very hard because our English is not so good. Many greetings from Renate and Ralf from Leverkusen. Hi Alexander, we'd like to thank you again for the tour to Preikestolen on August 29, 2025. We were very happy that you picked us up at the harbor. The tour, off the beaten track, was very nice, and your stories about Norway were very interesting. You also made a lot of effort, as our English isn't that good. Best regards from Renate and Ralf from Leverkusen.

Bucket list hike - shame about the weather - This was a bucket list hike for us, so as soon as our cruise was booked, we booked this excursion - Theo and Alex were so responsive to our messages, even changing the pickup time to suit the time our ship docked when I said we had more guests wanting to hike with us. Clear meeting instructions just steps from the ship, with in the end 2 coaches travelling to the starting location together. Unfortunately we had drizzle and low cloud all day, which was nobody's fault, so visibility was essentially zero - we would have loved the chance to swim in one of the mountain pools! The hike was tough, but our group was split into 4 - slow, 2 x medium and fast - which meant people could, for the most part, travel at a pace to suit themselves. The ground is uneven with a lot of large steps and good shoes are critical. Many people had walking poles, mostly without rubber ends - these were quite frankly a danger to other hikers, so if you're taking them, make sure they have rubber ends to actually provide you with some stability so they aren't waving and hitting other people. Not a hike for the faint hearted (I imagine that on clear days, with good visibility, the height is off putting for many) but anyone with a somewhat decent level of physical fitness should be able to do it - I'm far from a hiker, and as I said, it was tough, but I made it and at no point did I think I wouldn't. Take plenty of water as you will be hiking for 3.5 hours minimum (approx 2 hours up, quicker on the way down, but in some ways more challenging coming down). All of our guides were friendly, supportive and happy to make conversation Now to consider if I want to return to try to do it on a clear day...

Not for the Faint of Heart - Do not be fooled by other reviews. This is not an easy hike. On a hiking scale of 1 to 5, it is a solid 3, and a 4 at times. The trail is 80% uneven stones with significant elevation changes. For a moderately fit person, it is a solid 2 hours to get there, and 1.5 hours to get back. The round trip is approximately 8 miles. You need to bring your own food and water. I gave it 5 stars because I thought it was a very cool hike and a great experience. But, I would have preferred reading more accurate reviews before going.
