We saw the GoNorway sign for bike tours down by the cruise terminal and found their store in the center of town. We were able to quickly book a small group tour with Daniel who tailored the tour to our interests. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, showing us the best of beautiful Kristiansand. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and warm reception.
Lots of info during the tour, very open minded. Sonia our guide is a very joyful woman. Bikes were in very good state, and a pleasure to bike with.
The only thing we didn't achieve, was getting a medal during her Darny race modeling. A funny way to say that her speed during the tour was mmm higher than expected. Keep up the good work miss Sonia

The People that run this business are completely customer focused.
Monica was very personable and she helped fit the bike to our sizes.
She came across as very genuine to ensure each customer was happy.
They have a coffee shop at the hire shop which is perfect and the coffee was very good.
My only feedback from yesterday was it would have been good to have more stops to take in the views and to get my pictures around the bridges and canals.
Our guide was a fill in as the rostered guide was sick. She informed everyone. It was only in English. We had Dutch people in our group complaining about the guide not communicating in Dutch but the regular person was sick.
I would recommend this tour
especially if your an in experienced cyclist. I’m an experienced cyclists and at times it was too slow but I understood it caters to all people.
The bikes are super modern.
Thanks Moniker and your team.
Overall I was happy with this tour thanks guys
Ps I’m an experienced cyclist

Matig. Je verwacht ook gewoon lekker wat te fietsen ipv elke 100m te stoppen om een verhaal te horen waar je niet lang de aandacht bij kan houden.
Suggestie: meer fietsen, minder praten.

Een prachtige fietstocht door Kristiansand en omgeving. De gids wist er veel van en vertelde erg leuk over het leven in Noorwegen. Kortom een echte aanrader.

We zijn heel fijn en warm ontvangen door Monica, en met super goede elektrische fietsen op pad gegaan.
Nu kom je op plekken waar je anders niet zou zijn geweest. De informatie over de bezienswaardigheden werd erg leuk gegeven. kortom een aanrader. Net zoals de koffie en wafels bij terugkomst bij Go Norway cafe!
