    «Kringsa Farm, The Rising Tides and The Monument Great tour with Viking Adventures the highlight being the visit to Kringsjå Farm and the hospitality received there from Tom and his wife and the adorable Lissie the border collie. Throughly recommend this trip to adults and children alike . Our tour guide was great. Be advised the walk may be a bit much for any of the party with mobility issues but worth every step . The Rising Tides and The Monument also well worth the visit. Stunning Norway .»

    «Fabulous memories Perfect tour Tom and his team made it so special for my toddler. The cake was amazing and I cuddled a lamb. I would not advise for anyone who struggles with walking, or prams it’s quite a challenging walk to the farm. Saying that if I’d known that I would have missed out on this fabulous experience. It really made our holiday special.»
