Great introduction to Bodo

This was the perfect option for me because I am travelling solo. It was a great way of introducing Bodo, to learn about the city and get a sense of orientation. The app was easy to access and use and I really liked being told when I had wandered off in the wrong direction! Recommend to everyone visiting Bodo for the first time.
The walk through Bodø is definitely worth it.

I was told some interesting facts about the history of this city. It is nice that you can walk the walk at your own pace and take the time to explore a little better in between. Too bad the cathedral was closed and I would have liked to have come across some more museums. The part about the pier was too long, especially since you had to walk back the same way.
Not my preferred tour experience

It was hard to figure out how to get the audio tour working. Luckily I had printed out a map and descriptions, which worked fine.
