Excellent guide who provided an interesting and informative commentary. She engaged well with the members of the small tour group which helped to make it an enjoyable activity.

Astrid was are tour guide There were only two of us on this tour , myself and a guy from Germany ( apparently we were lucky it wasn’t cancelled because there were only 2 of us. ) Astrid walked us around the centre of Tromso, pointing different things out to us and explaining the history of Tromso ( which she is very knowledgeable about ) We also got to try some smoked whale meat which was very nice !) We ended up in the artic museum where astrid explained the history of artic exploration and the history of whale hunting I found the museum to be very interesting with lots of photo opportunities This tour is worth doing while in tromso

Bernard our guide was great. We learned so much. His delivery was lighthearted and engaging. His research and anecdotes went well beyond the standard skripted approach. Highly recommend rhis tour.

The tour was good, if did its job of teaching us about the city, its history and the life around the North of Norway. The meeting point could be better but we gave that feedback already.

Most of the time was spent in the Polar Museum. Not a typical walking tour of a city. The guide was friendly but think the tour should be marketed differently. A few reviews mentioned this but unfortunately I did not read them all prior to booking.
