A full day immerged in the beauty and history of Lofoten islands
Overview of your Svolvaer tour
If you think you have already seen the most stunning landscapes in the world, well let me disappoint you. Lofoten islands are the real paradise on earth. In these remote islands, beauty is everywhere you look. I will drive you all through the five main islands through fishermen villages made of the typical "rorbua", red palafitte houses, between narrow fjords and mighty peaks, sandy beaches and frozen lakes. We will stop a number of times to enjoy the countless stunning views. We will have the chance to learn the history of "skrei" or stockfish, the famous dried cod which made Lofoten famous in the world already from the 14th century. We will also taste delicious fish soup and typical Norwegian cakes. I will take you back to Svolvær with your hearts full of memories and your cameras full of photos! Feel free to contact me. My experience as a local guide will allow me to build the perfect tour for your needs, adjusting the itinerary according to your interests and passions.

It's the best tour during our visit at Norway. Even though it's raining, we had a great time.

There were two of us on a one day tour of the Lofoten Islands. One of us with limited mobility. This was an excellent tour. Andrea was a great driver & friendly guide. He was very knowledgeable about the local area and traditions. We were able to see all of the sights we had hoped to and many more. He fit all of this into a day trip without making us rushed. We highly recommend this excursion. We have friends visiting Norway later in the year and will definitely recommend Andrea.

We had the best day with guide Erik. The history facts, places we stopped, and the photo taking were fabulous. We ate at Anita's Seafood and it was delicious 😋. We can not say enough about Erik and his hospitality. The tour is worth it. Would go again.

this tour was amazing. We were a family of 4 with small children and Andrea made the day easy and enjoyable with endless patience. We really appreciated his company, knowledge, and well thought out itinerary. He went above and beyond at the end of the day to help us with dinner.

We spent a fantastic day in Lofoten with Andrea. we got top notch service in the upfront planning, special requests, photo opportunities, and responding the barrage of questions we kept lobbing at him. Not every guide will (at your request) take to you the Vinmonopolet or the shop for seaweed chocolates. And explain the history of the red and gold paints on the fishing shack. He knew his history, culture, geography, food, anecdotes. I couldn't have asked for a better day or better guide. Ten stars, not 5!
