5.00An enjoyable and informative tour of Tromso taken at a nice pace. We enjoyed Gavin's stories about the interesting things he showed us and the fun treasure hunt which took us to each point of interest. We would definitely recommend Gavin's tours and will book another one when we return to Tromso in the future 😀

5.00The „Tromsø Walking Tour with Treasure Hunt and Arctic Cathedral Visit“ was such a wonderful walk, receiving so much information about the culture, history and arts of the town. Oda showed pictures to us and let us look out for them. We saw “Stolpersteine" (stumbling blocks) and she told us the sad story behind them. We went also to the “Gateway to the Arctic”, the latest mosaic of the over ninety years old artist Marit Bockelie and to the Arctic Cathedral, where Oda explained the facts behind the scene. This was a fantastic little tour l can recommend to everyone.

5.00We had an awesome time with Oda. She was fun, interesting and very knowledgeable. We started the tour with safety, Oda helped us with reflectors and spikes. We walked all through the old and new parts of Tromso learning about the history as well as interesting people that have lived in here over the years. A highlight was seeing Jardar Johansen (a famous Norwegian singer) doing a dress rehearsal in the Arctic Cathedral. The acoustic were amazing. Oda made the afternoon feel like we were walking around with good friends. We would highly recommend!
Best walking tour I’ve ever been on!
