  Boris was an excellent guide. We learned so much about Tromso and its history. I highly recommend this walking tour.

• Disappointing on several levels.

  The guide was a nice man and extremely knowledgeable but he needed to condense his commentary as he spent way too much time and went into far too much technical detail in the museums which ended up to be very boring. Through no fault of his, the Full Steam had flooded so we could only access the Sami portion of the exhibit. He spent 1.5 hours explaining the Sami, which was way too much. He needed to figure a way to tell highlights and edit his speech. He also went into great detail on the scientific properties of the Aurora Borealis which, again, making the audience lose interest. The Polar Museum was more of the same. Way too much detail and not enough tidbits of interest to keep the attention of his audience. The time in the museums could have been cut by 2/3 to be much more interesting and effective. We enjoyed walking around the city and the highlights of information provided about the history of the different buildings, churches and monuments. The tour advertises the Full Steam experience which we did not get due to the flooding and also visiting the oldest pub, which we never went to. This was disappointing. Overall, this could have been a good experience if the guide had been able to tone down the depth and breadth and overly technical speeches and by providing a more informative yet fun tour. Not happy that we didn’t get the Full Steam experience or go to the pub, as advertised.

• It is really worth it!

  Good, friendly and knowledgeable guide in the person of Boris. He really took his time for us. It was really worth it and the tour exceeded our expectations.

  We were late in arriving at the meeting point because of ignorance regarding its proximity to the cruise terminal. However, the tour guide was there waiting for us. We carried on with the tour as if nothing happened. Boris, our tour guide was gracious enough to carry on with the walking tour around Tromso. Interesting town with its history, polar lights, arctic center. We will come back to see the northern lights next time v

  Boris was early and we started out tour right on time. He was so knowledgeable and nice! We saw so many things and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the tour. We started right off by seeing a service in their lovely wooden church. Folks were in their native dress and so lovely. He educated us about the Sammi and we saw many artifacts.
