Overview

Step back into Norway’s past on a private journey through the historic landscapes of Stavanger, Hafrsfjord and Sola.

This experience goes beyond simply visiting Viking landmarks. Your local driver-guide connects each stop through stories of ancient life, Harald Fairhair, the Battle of Hafrsfjord, Norse traditions and Norway’s transition to Christianity.

Visit the reconstructed Iron Age Farm, stand beneath the impressive Swords in Rock, explore historic Ytraberget, discover the mysterious stone circle of Domsteinane and finish at the atmospheric ruins of Sola Church.

Along the way, discover how Vikings were much more than warriors—they were farmers, traders, craftsmen, explorers and skilled sailors who shaped Norwegian history.

With private transportation and a relaxed pace, you’ll have time for photographs, questions and stories along the way. It’s an ideal experience to discover the fascinating past hidden beyond Stavanger’s city center.
