On a cruise stopover in Stavanger, we took a private tour with Katharina (rather than a big group thing offered by the ship) and are thrilled that we did. She was sweet, knowlegable, and flexible, spending more time on things where we showed interest and less in other areas. It was obvious that she did not just have a set itinerary that she went through for all guests. She compared living in Norway with other countries, and explained why she loved Norway. I left with the feeling that I made a friend rather than just met a guide.
