Lovely experience - We had lovely weather and it was so nice being able to spend time at each of the attractions with an easy bike ride between each. Gave us more time to enjoy the views!

Great fun - Booked this direct for when our cruise was due in dock. Very easy to book on. Never used an e-bike before but instructor was clear with how to use it. We had a great time looking at different sights. Bikes were fun and instructor gave us lots of story’s while we stopped at different sights.

Great tour in a beautiful city - Really nice and well equipped bikes. Guides were great. We did the tour on Constitution Day which I wouldn’t recommend due to all the people in the streets. It made it quite a challenge sometimes not to run over people. But, overall the trip was great. Our guides were sensitive to the fact that parades were taking place all over the city and did change our route a bit so it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been! Super easy to find the start of the tour. I highly recommend this. Great way to see Hagasaund!

Great Experience - Great views and scenery. If you’re not a cyclist or haven’t ridden an e-bike before probably not for you.

Great adventure - Amazing guide, very knowledgeable. Fun ride on bikes and a great experience. Shame we had a few mixed abilities in our group and few people kept getting lost of struggling with bike slowed group down- I feel the advert should state bikes are very heavy and need to be confident at riding in public spaces and on road. But in all a very good experience.

Great way to sightsee in Haugesund - Our E-bike cycling tour was extremely informative and a great way to sightsee. We were on a cruise and found this at the very last minute via the Vikings Adventure website. Ekel our guide was knowledge and great with the group. We appreciated his patience, as most of us were not familiar with e-bikes. I highly recommend you do this, it's a fantastic way to cover a lot of places in a small amount of time!

Really positive, informative and the right balance. - Fabulous experience. Informative and helpful guides. Just the right amount of cycling.
Only reason we haven’t given a 5* review is we can’t see why we had to walk the bridge. There was virtually no traffic. When we did the ride it would have been safe to ride the bridge. If it had been busy, different matter. If it was a safety matter why allowed to cycle through a busy pedestrian area.
