Stavanger, Norway walking tour
On August 4, 2023 our Azamara Pursuit cruiser docked in Stavanger within walking distance of many major points of interest and my wife and I took the four hours walking through historic Stavanger. All our tours in Norway were charged more than in many other countries. For this walking tour we were charged $99/person.
Our guide Dario met us right at the ship. Dario was born in France and he has interesting perspective on Norwegian culture. About little more than half of our tour was dedicated to the history of Stavanger and the rest of time was spent between visits to the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, Norwegian Canning Museum and short stop at the Stavanger Cathedral. We were not able to see the full beauty of the 12th century structure due to the outgoing renovation.
After leisurely walk we came back to the ship.
For some of the fellow passengers it was a little more technicality than they expected, but we really liked it all.
Overall, it was worthwhile tour with very good guide.
Upon returning to the ship, we decided to go back to the city for additional sightseeing. On the way we encountered our crew members using WiFi at a small building. We stopped and enquired about WiFi and to our surprise the man working at this facility stated that passengers are not allowed to use this WiFi. It was the first and the very last time we had such unwelcome greeting. All other cities before and after Stavanger rolled out messages and locations with free WiFi availability.
Good Travels
