ABOUT GUIDE TO LOFOTEN

We’re an international couple with a unique blend of perspectives—Ivar, a Norwegian, can offer the local’s take on everything. At the same time, Radka, originally from the Czech Republic, knows exactly what catches the eye of visitors and can share interesting insights.

We usually guide these tours together, with Radka leading the storytelling and Ivar behind the wheel. That way, we can even tackle those spots where parking is usually a hassle.

With us, your Lofoten adventure is all about what matters to you—no stress, just a relaxed, fun exploration of our beautiful Lofoten islands.

Ivar and Radka were fantastic guides for our stay in Lofoten. We first met Ivar as a taxi service to our Airbnb because we were traveling with a senior who could not make the walk there. He was helpful and kind. We later hired them to take us to the Viking museum and later to our boat and they were accommodating and friendly. In fact, we loved our time just getting to know them and chatting about Norway. They are enormously, knowledgeable and helpful, and I would recommend them highly to whoever is looking for alternative ways to get around the Islands.
