5.00Gerard took us to Sommaroya which was an amazing experience and such a beautiful place to see. We picnicked by the beach with delicious sandwiches and even ran into some reindeer.

5.00We had a 4 hour private tour with Gerard from Citizen Science in Tromso. Gerard was a fantastic guide and this was a highlight of our trip through Norway. Gerard is very knowledgeable about European history and Norway in particular. He made every effort to make our trip memorable including making a delightful picnic lunch and sharing photos and videos that he took with professional equipment. We would highly recommend this tour with Gerard. It was the perfect half day tour. This cruise we chose to book our own personal tours rather than our ship tours and were extremely happy with that decision. Booking a personal tour ahead of time has proven to be more intimate, flexible and cheaper. We would give Gerard 10 stars!
Spectacular Tromso

5.00This tour was fantastic. We were so looking forward to seeing Tromso and our guide Evgeni was like family proudly showing off his favorite spots. . We were taken to the most spectacular viewing areas. We also had an amazing lunch packed for us which we ate on a local beach. We toured beautiful Tromso for about 5 hours. Our only disappointment was those 5 hours seemed to fly by. We highly recommend The Wandering Owl Team.
Excellent day with Wandering Owl Tour

5.00Excellent way to see the areas outside of the city center, especially with the short time allotted for land tours when traveling by cruise ship. Driver was excellent and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed our picnic lunch in a serene white sand beach setting that looked like it was straight out of the Caribbean, not at all what I ever thought about seeing in Norway! Excellent day and the reindeer siting was a nice bonus!
