”Henning is very experienced. The group was a group of people in real estate, construction and their partners. For each group member the tour was very interesting. The ones with the very special questions could easily ask Henning everything and the partners understood it as well because Henning was able to "speak both languages" so to speak.”

“Henning was reliable as usual when organising the excursion. The high quality of his guiding and the relaxed atmosphere during the tour was as I knew it from past excursions, and made it that successful.

All of us enjoyed the tour very much and I am sure, Sto will come back to Oslo (or other places in Norway) in the future.”
