Viking farm & museum - As a family of seven we booked a tour with viking adventure as soon as we came off our p&o cruise, as they are outside on the dock.. Our tour was a boat ride over to the viking village farm on a lovely big boat, then we had a rib boat to the viking museum into the town. Our tour guide was Andes, and for his first time doing a solo tour he was very knowledgeable & answered every question we asked him. He was also very friendly . Andes was with us throughout the tour. We all really enjoyed the tour.

A day out with the Vikings - A very good informative tour about the birth of a nation. Our guide was excellent keeping us up to date with our movement and ,making sure we knew what was going on taking account of the whole group. The couple at the farm were very authentic and informative.

A Simple way of life that has been passed on for several generations. - You can only get to the Viking Farm by boat! The Norwegian family has lived on the Farm for several generations. They will share there story with you and invite you into the different rooms of the Farm. They have learned to live with the simple necessities and each generation has been passed on these lifestyles.

Fin vikinglandsby - From the museum at Avaldsnes it is about 15 minutes to walk on a path to the Viking village which lies on a forested holm. We had a tour of the farm. Beware of the hours of the tours for they are not so often. There were activities for the children including axe casting. The activities were badly advertised. The hosts could be more active with the audience. At the museum itself, it starts with a movie. Although the content is good, the film should be renewed soon. Otherwise a lot of nice and interesting to see in the exhibition. The cafe has a little choice of food.

Interesting - Enjoyed the visit to the farm to learn about life in the Viking era. The museum was also interesting, but an extra half an hour would have been great.

Just ok - It was a nice opportunity to see a Viking village. We were very disappointed to stand in one spot in the village for about 45 min for a lecture rather than being toured around. We gathered this was due to it being used by a school group. We felt the tour should be greatly reduced or cancelled in this case. The tour guides were good. No complaints in that regard.

Somewhat interesting replica of Viking farm houses with underwhelming video presentation after. Not a good way to spend one's t - The Viking Farm is a collection of replicas of buildings from Viking history. There was obviously a lot of work put into these buildings, which were made with the same tools and techniques that Vikings would have used. The narrators, dressed in Viking garb, gave an interesting and enthusiastic presentation. The boat ride to and from the Viking Farm was quite scenic. The Viking planet was essentially a gift shop with a lower level that contained some video displays and a short film. There are no actual Viking artefacts on display, only projections of photographs and a series of video displays. There seems to be little information here that would not be available in a rudimentary Web search. It was quite interesting that all of the displays are in English, showing that this business is geared only for cruise ship passengers; no Norwegian would ever invisit this "museum." You may feel, as we did, that this excursion left much to be desired. Be aware, however, that there seems to be little else to do in this port of call. The guides are enthusiastic and seemed proud of their heritage. The price seems high for this tour, but everything in Norway seems to be expensive. The entire experience left us feeling taken advantage of. We would definitely not book this excursion a second time.
