3.00Good introductory experience of Nordic skiing. Guides were very nice. I think it’s overpriced - double what its value is so have dropped two stars.
Highly recommend

5.00Very enjoyable experience! I learned the basics of cross country skiing and could exercice to build my level. The coaches adapted to the level of each participant and gave personalised advice. A small pause with a hot drink and chocolate at a beautiful view point was nice too!
Disappointing experience & would not recommend

2.00Unfortunately, this was the worst experience out of the 20+ activities we booked during our week in Tromsø for the holidays. We arrived about 5 minutes late due to unreliable local buses. We were very apologetic and even asked if we should cancel or reschedule instead. While we were ultimately allowed to join, the response from one of the guide was delivered with a very unpleasant and unwelcoming attitude. The couple before us experienced the same treatment, which already set a negative tone for the tour. During the activity itself, the guides (Rolf and Ine) seemed to focus their attention on only a few participants, while others were largely ignored. Photos were offered to other participants, small talk and assistance were given freely, yet my daughter and I were completely overlooked. This felt uncomfortable and, honestly, came across as DISCRIMINATORY. We fully understand the importance of punctuality and respect that, but there is also a way to handle situations professionally and kindly especially in tourism. Sadly, that was missing here. Tromsø has so many amazing experiences and wonderful tour operators. I would recommend skipping this one, or if you truly want to learn cross-country skiing, consider booking with a different company.
Nice time for all

5.00The two young women leading the group were some of the best guides I've had -- friendly, informative, inclusive and fun. Our group of 8 included people with some experience cross country skiing and one in particular who could barely move without falling. And yet it somehow was managed well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Those of us who were better skied ahead at some points and weren't bored and the slower ones got plenty of encouragement.
Perfect plan to try new sports

5.00My nine y.o daughter and I did this in late November and absolutely loved it. The instructor, Mariel, was fantastic and really kept an eye out for my daughter, offering encouragement and tips for improvement. The booking process with Sissel was reallly easy and we found the meet-up point with no problem at all. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Tromso. It was a great deal of fun and you get to see parts of the city and local life that you might otherwise miss. Thank you Tromso Adventures!
Nice begginers course
