Värdskapsbyrån
Torsö / Mariestad

Hike or cycle through spectacular landscapes

Värdskapsbyrån always goes the extra mile for you, and together with the guide Amanda Hessle you will get to explore both the tales and the exciting histories of various locations.
Amanda is a nationally certified tourist guide and her areas of expertise include the Vänern archipelago with Djurö National Park, the area between Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern, the landscape of Platåbergen and especially the Göta Canal. Many of Amanda’s tales are not written down in any books, and several of the locations have seldom been seen by canal visitors or travelers.

Guided tours for businesses and individuals

Could cycling adventures along the Göta Canal be something for you? Hiking in the national parks Tiveden and Djurö – or discovering the industrial history of Mariestad? Or perhaps you’d like to combine this year's kick-off with great food and an exciting adventure in Gothenburg, the pearl of the west coast?
Värdskapsbyrån has a long experience in guided tailor-made experiences for businesses, organizations and individuals. The guides are available in Swedish, English, German, and to some degree, French.
