Is this a little stiff or is it the normal practice?


It's more normal than not, in my experience.

On past sightseeing trips in places I don't go to often, I've just
brought the CFI with us, skipping the formal checkride.




Wise anyway. When I was a kid, one of the CFIs at the place I was working
gave one of his buds who had been flying a 727 for a living fly a rental
cherokee after only a couple of minutes checkout.
half an hour later, a 110 knot approach and touchdown rendered a brand new
cherokee environmentally friendly.
