Our 2-hour city tour by coach will start at the cruise terminal (Pirbadet). We will head to Solsiden, a charming and vibrant district and we will see the colorful warehouses along the river Nid.
Our tour will continue through the city center while passing the Hotel Britannia and the royal residence Stiftsgården. Leaving the city center, we will proceed uphill to the Sverresli viewpoint to enjoy Trondheim from above and witness the city’s charming skyline.
We will make another stop at Kristiansten Fortress. After the devastating fire in 1681, the fortress was built in order to defend Trondheim.
We continue on to our final stop, Nidaros Cathedral (Nidarosdomen). The cathedral was built in the 11th century. Additional work and renovations have continued since then. It is one of Scandinavia’s most stunning and grandiose cathedrals as well as the best well-preserved Gothic building in Northern Europe. Trondheim and Norway as a whole are very proud of this magnificent building.

5.00Excellent tour of the city with knowledgeable guide. However miss out the first Fort for the view and have more time at the second fort and the Cathedral.
Bad experience

1.00My wife and I recently took part in a tour in Trondheim, Norway, booked through Viator for June 19, 2025, booking number XXXXXXX. Unfortunately, the experience did not align with the advertised description, and we are incredibly disappointed with the level of service provided. Key issues: We were not informed of the tour operator’s name, making it challenging to locate the departure point. The operator was initially unaware of Viator and had no signage or clarity regarding our booking. When we finally got on the bus, it had a terrible urine smell. The tour was advertised as a bus tour with minimal walking, yet it included a 1.5-hour walking tour, which we were unable to participate in due to age and mobility constraints. It turns out that the listed 30-minute stop at Nidaros Cathedral was conditional upon joining the walking tour, forcing us to hire a taxi ($30) to return to our ship. The itinerary mentioned a drive-by of the Old Town Bridge, which was not included at all. These discrepancies made for a stressful and unsatisfactory experience. We did not receive the service we paid for, and incurred additional out-of-pocket costs due to the misleading nature of the tour description. We are requesting a full or partial refund, including reimbursement for the taxi cost.
Not bad could have been better.

3.00Could have been better, the pick up point wasn’t crystal clear and the route from the cruise ship wasn’t obvious. Plus our guide wasn’t a local, he was a student and wasn’t sure about a few things, although his knowledge of the cathedral was good.
Fun morning

5.00The guides and bus driver were great. Guides quite informative and the driver navigating the tight narrow streets was impressive. The only thing I would recommend is a better description of where to meet the tour when disembarking a cruise ship. Most cruise ship biases are in a parking lot adjacent to the pier. The was about 100m outside of that and left down an alley.

5.00Was a bit nervous after reading previous reviews. We asked for help, but was able to easily locate the bus. The guide and driver were great. Loved hearing the details of the city.
