Electric bike tour to "The Rising Tides" - What an absolutely fabulous bike tour, the guides were brilliant and really informative. A bike ride we will never forget. It was one of the highlights of our P&O Norwegian Fiords Cruise.

Ebike in Haugesnd - Our guide Egil was brilliant he was so knowledgeable ,not just a guide but a local historian ,took us around all the sights with very interesting information , The bikes were easy to ride but that's speaking from someone who has their own ebike. Best was to see the city forget the hope on bus .

a lovely way to see and know Haugesund - Lovely way to see a bit of Haugesund and find out more about it. The beauty of this trip is that you can see so much more than if you walked round, with frequent stops for information or stories from our fab guide Eggle. I would highly recommend, especially if like us, you are only there for a day.

Lovely staff members - We only got partway through this tour due to an accident me losing balance on my bike and bruising myself - I didn't feel up to cycling, so one of the Go Viking Adventure group staff members, Gaute, came promptly to pick us up. He was very chatty, friendly and kind and offered to take us to the Rising Tide Sculptures that was part of the tour we missed and were looking forward to seeing the most. Even helped us take a couple photos! Very helpful and kind of him to go out of his way so thank you.

E bike tour - This is a brilliant tour. The e-bikes are easy to ride even if you haven’t ridden one before (as we hadn’t). Anders our tour guide was informative and gave us just the right amount of time at 2 major attractions to look and take photos. He also included an extra request to see the Marilyn Monroe statue. Despite the rain, this tour was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour if you have teenagers, my 16 & 17 year olds loved it as did I (53 yrs). It’s an easy way to visit the rising tides statues.

Really enjoyed this cycle trip - Really enjoyed the trip. Our guide Egil made the trip fun and interesting, and the bike was great. We hadn’t used an electric bike before but got used to it straight away. The route and stops were just right.

Book a private tour rather than a group one. - We booked this whilst visiting Haugesund on a cruise. The meeting point was very easy to access and was clear to see when exiting the ship. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience. Firstly, bikes were chosen by individuals rather than being issued by the tour guide. This meant that I wasn’t able to get the correct sized bike. The guide was unwilling to ask people to swap. This could’ve easily been avoided if he had allocated bikes to individuals rather than allowing a free for all. The trip was also tarnished by some of the other participants. One particular lady insisted on cycling whilst being on her phone the whole time, zig zagging and cutting us up on multiple occasions. Rather than deal with the situation the guide allowed her to continue. This again was an easy fix - he should’ve made it very clear that participants should not have been on their phone whilst cycling. There were way too many people in our group yesterday - I feel that this tour would be far more enjoyable if numbers were restricted to 8/10. This trip had the potential to be awesome but the guides lack of confidence in challenging poor behaviour by other participants ruined it for us.
