This video shows the start of the tour just after the intro at St. Olav's Church.
We did not have any specific plans when we got to Haugesund, Norway so we headed to the information center on Strandgt and Skjoldavn. There I found out about the Viking tour of a Viking farm. Being a fan of the show "Vikings", I was extremely interested. We did not have a lot of time before the tour would leave so we quickly headed to Our Savior's Church where our cruise bus had dropped us off and where the tour was picking up.
They sold the tour tickets at the bus. However, apparently you could have bought them online. There was major confusion on where to line up for the tour, there was different tour lining up nearby as well, and there was not clear signage to follow. We barely made it on the bus!
The bus ride to the farm is about 30min and they charge you for the tour once you reach the location. The tour starts at St. Olav's Church and there is even an active archaeologic excavation site there!
This tour has a bit of walking up and over some hills but you can somewhat go at your own pace.
