What an awesome tour! We learned the different skiiing methods. We went skiiing just like you see in the pictures on the website and at TripAdvisor. We had warm cranberry drinks and soft Norwegian snacks called lefsa with cinnamon taste. Simon was great at teaching and coaching us along the ski runs. We highly recommend this tour with Skistromso.com

We did the 3pm session in a small group and had such a great time! We were total beginners, but Johannes made everything feel easy and fun. He was super friendly, patient, and really took care of us. It was a perfect introduction to cross-country skiing, and we totally recommend it.

The BEST experience. Jakob and Eric are the best guides and instructors. They are so patient, helpful and skilled. They give off great vibes. It’s like spending the afternoon with friends. There’s lots of businesses that offer this experience in Tromso but I strongly recommend you book these guys. I started off with zero skill, could barely stand up. By the end of it I was flying (probably not but felt like it)

We had the most wonderful tour with these very experienced guides who gave us such personal care and went out of their way for us to have a good time. The activity was made so easy to take part in and enjoyable for everyone in our family. The added bonus was chatting away with the guides like old friends in our small group. Highly recommend this as an activity to add to your time in Tromso!
