“Enjoyed all the information we received about Viking life. Our guide was excellent. He has dual citizenship in Norway and Australia and was well spoken with great insights into Norwegian life too. The farm was very interesting. The young lady in costume that was our guide there was very knowledgeable about Viking life. We found the visit to Viking planet to be very informative. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures with a green screen that turned us into Vikings. Would recommend this if you want to understand the Viking history and lifestyle.”
