5.00It was a great experience seeing the surrounds. The tour operator made sure we got to the meeting point in good time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had some great discussions over lunch. On another note, we met the same guide at Fjellheisen (a magnificent viewpoint) he was leading another tour group, & again at the airport. We recognised each other straight away. So that gives some indication of the trip which was very memorable.

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!
Rainy trip round fjords.

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.
