Additional Information
Experience the city from a local’s perspective. You have the leisure to personalize the journey or let the local suggest an insightful tour around the city. Your travels should be focused not solely on the landmarks but also on the people you encounter. Our on-foot tours are designed to bypass the common, history-focused sightseeing and offer a live demonstration of the city from a native’s viewpoint. Journey with us and redefine your travelling style. Let it be about the novel relationships you form alongside your new experiences. Our local escorts, dubbed as Lokafyers, display a deep passion for their hometown and look forward to sharing their knowledge and personal view. Since Lokafyers aren’t professional guides and only occasionally musters a tour, you’ll enjoy a much more genuine and intimate city tour, like being shown around by a friend. By the end of this journey, you’ll be capable of effortlessly exploring the city and secure in your knowledge to maximise your stay.

- In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)

- This is a walking tour. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes
- Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately

Fabulous tour with Eloisa - We did a walking tour with Eloisa. She us fabulous. She took us to all the highlights 8f the city as this was our first time in Norway. She gave us insight into to the culture of the people as well as a lot if history about stavanger even going back to 800 AD. Not only was she interesting but she made it fun. Showed us places to shop and recommended a wonderful restaurant for the best salmon I have ever eaten. She was personable and friendly and definitely professional. (Even tho she was a local guide) we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Eloisa for your guide. Book this tour you won't regret it.

Awesome Tour in Stavanger, Norway - Fantastic Tour with a wonderful guide! Our guide (Taj) asked what we were interested in and weaved our desires with Stavanger history and points of interest. Taj’s experience as a naturalized Norwegian was very insightful. You got a different perspective from someone who chose to emigrate to Norway and his views of the country- especially the positive aspects. After our tour, we invited Taj to eat lunch with us. We enjoyed tasty Fish Soup and great conversation. Highly recommend the tour as you can tailor it to your interests if you want. Hopefully, your guide will be as personable and well read as Taj! Awesome time!

Interesting tour - This really was fantastic. First stop on our cruise to Norway and a great way not just to find out more about Stavanger but also what it’s like to live in the country. Taj our guide took the trouble to find out about what we wanted and gave us a great insight into local life. Thoroughly recommended

Take the tour with Eloisa - fabulous - We did the Stavanger walk with Eloisa and it was fabulous. She took us to all the highlights in the city. Gave us insight into some of the culture and places to shop and eat as we had requested. But she went above and beyond. She knew the history of Stavanger and Norway back to 800 AD. She was personablel and friendly. She made us laugh and taught us so much. We had a great time with her. I highly recommend a tour with Eloisa!! You won't be disappointed!

Great break - Despite mediocre weather we had a great short trip to Stavanger. We stayed in the excellent Radisson Blu in the centre of the Town and enjoyed trips on the Hop on Hop off bus and cruise of the Linsefiord. Excellent restaurants, welcoming people, very clean city -only regret was we could not see the Cathedral which is undergoing extensive refurbishment.

Great tour of Stavanger - Anatoly was a great guide. Although not a long time local, he obviously did his homework and provided a ton of interesting information on the history and present day life in Stavanger.
