Espen was an absolutely fantastic tour guide - honestly one of the best we've ever had, and we travel quite a bit.
I don't usually take the time to write reviews for tour guides, but Espen absolutely deserves the recognition. If you're looking to go hiking in Norway or want a more active adventure beyond the typical tourist activities, I cannot recommend him highly enough. 10/10 review for sure. I would even go beyond to give him a 12/10 if I could.
Thank you again, Espen, for making our time in Norway so memorable!

Espen took me and my parents up Pulpit rock and it was great! He was very nice, personable, and laid back.
He came prepared with a safety recording prior to the hike, had food/water for us during the hike and at the top and also came with a camera and drone for amazing pictures.
Overall 10/10 would recommend him as a guide!

My husband is afraid of hieight, but Espen put him at ease right at beginning. We had such wonderful time with him. He made this hike so much easier. Some of the photos Espen took were breathtaking beyond words. Thank you Espen !

This was my first time hiking at Pulpit Rock. Espen facilitated the journey by clearly outlining everything from the outset to the difficulty level, ensuring I was adequately equipped.
My solo travel experience was quite enjoyable.
