It was our first time in Solvang, and decided to book this tour for my birthday activity. This tour is perfect if you aren't familiar with the area, or if you don't know where to start (as Solvang does have a lot of shops). You hit all the highlights of Solvang in this tour (& you bypass the long lines -- it's like having a fast pass to all the popular shops). Our guide, Hannah, was lovely. She is very easy to talk to and didn't rush us in any way. We visited so many shops and tasted a bunch of food that my husband & I were so full at the end of our tour.

We had a great experience learning local history and enjoying great food with Cameron and Hannah! Many stops and lots of variety. A very busy Saturday in December but our guides made things effortless. We had vegetarian options that were delicious. The chocolate store was amazing!
