She also was extremely knowledgeable about Norway’s history and wildlife which was fascinating to learn about. The view from the top is incredible and absolutely worth the trip. Would highly recommend. Thank you Else!”

“Excellent day with Theo the Berry Hunter at Pulpit Rock. Theo took us the secret hidden route which meant we didn’t see a single other tourist on the trail (despite it being a busy day) and he made sure we walked at a good pace and took pauses for snacks, water, photos etc. We saw some exceptionally beautiful sights and ate lots of wild berries”
