Stunning views and great group atmosphere - Teodor was an amazing guide. He shared tons of facts on our travel to as well as on our hikes he was very personable and was happy to answer questions. I was a little nervous before going on the hike wondering if I would keep up. The group I was in had people of various hiking levels and we went up at a pace everyone was comfortable with. The view from the top was absolutely stunning and well worth the hike up.

Great tour and guide - Our guide had to help a woman who injured her ankle as no one could find her tour guide and she was on her own. Our guide ensure she was take to a place on the trail where emergency medical staff could reach her and ensure her safety before rejoining our group. He was conscious of our time constraints and got us back to Stavanger in plenty of time although a little past our planned arrival time. He was a wonderful guide for our group and paced us well giving us plenty of time to enjoy the hike and Pulpit Rock

Hard, but recommended. - Hard climb. If you are fit you can do it in an hour but if you are of the lot, calculate two hours to go up and one and a half to go down. Refrain who has vertigo. Quite a few people. Don't forget comfortable mountain footwear and some warmth, even in summer. There are three strokes, the second. If you pass that one, you've already got the ascent. The views above compensate for the effort

Preikestolen tour. - Our guide Teodor went beyond our expectation for our tour/hike to Preikestolen. He was kind, professional and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the fact that he proposed a different way to return to the base camp. We fully recommend him and his tour operator.

Must Do Hike in Norway - Call Theo (Get Guided Norway) - Theo and Alexander did a great job for a group of 14 of us. They picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove us to the base camp about 40 minutes away. This hike should be in the bucket list of anyone that likes hiking but also anyone that enjoys one of the most beautiful views in the world. We took an alternate route to avoid the "easy" path full of tourists; this made it a bit more challenging but way more enjoyable. Every 20 minutes or so you get views and photo opportunities that appear to be the main event... until a couple hours after starting you reach Pulpit Rock and then your jaw drops almost all the way to the Fjord. On the way down, Theo will challenge you to become a real viking by jumping into a cold water pond... 5 on our group did it; Theo had to join. This is, probably, one of the best experiences I've had in contact with nature. You should contact Theodore Seather +47 (948) 68 690 (Get Guided Norway)

Great day! - What a fantastic day out! The coordination with the supplier to arrange the pickup time was seamless, and they answered all my questions about appropriate attire. The pickup van was in excellent condition, and Theo, our guide, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that the slower members of our group were well looked after and encouraged. He also suggested an alternative route for the descent, which was a wonderful addition to the experience. The hike itself is of moderate difficulty, with some uneven sections that can be slippery if it has rained or is raining. There are a few challenging parts involving steep stone stairs, but the trail is generally well-maintained. With proper hiking boots, it should be manageable for most people. This tour was the highlight of our visit to Stavanger, and I can't recommend Theo highly enough. An outstanding activity.

Great hike! - We took a different trail up to the Pulpit Rock than the main trail, which was nice. The wild blueberries in the forest were a refreshing treat. The other 2 people in our group were not as athletic and slowed everyone down.
