5.00Well organized, with a 15-seater minibus, we had really nice driver and guide. The guide Eléna is very affable, speaks Spanish, Italian, English and French. He took us to see the most scenic corners on a tour of about 6 hours, with coffee break and lunch in a very nice restaurant, in a wonderful place.

1.00Trip run out of season and therefore didn’t see anything. This trip would be excellent in the summer months but they should not be ripping off tourists in the winter.
must see while in Tromsø!

5.00Loved this tour because we got to see another area of Norway that was a little bit different from Tromsø. You make stops along the way to Sommarøy so the drive doesn’t feel too long. Elena was an amazing guide - very informative and thoughtful. She also took amazing pictures along the way!
Incredible experience, must if in Tromsø!

5.00We can enjoy a fantastic day with Northern Norway Travel. The Arctic tour was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Everything just fit: the good info we received; the delicious hot shock charge; the lunch; the great spots we stopped at and the whole atmosphere carried by our guide. Thank you so much!

5.00Unfortunately the weather was rainy all day and most of the destinations were too icy for walking but the landscapes were beautiful and the tour guide and driver made the up for it with their enthusiasm.
Thank you, Kristin and Terje

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Tromsø and has our highest recommendation. Kirstin our guide, and Terje our driver, were both exceptional and ensured our day was truly memorable. Kirstin is a professional photographer and she generously shared high resolution images from every stage of our tour, with breathtaking views of Sommarøy and Kvaløya. Truly unforgettable.

5.00We really enjoyed this trip. Georgios was a really friendly and engaging guide and we enjoyed all the stop offs along the way where most of the time we were the only bus there. Lunch was decent. Veggie option provided.
