Very informative, interesting tour of Tromso - history, culture, recommendations for local businesses - coffee shops, etc. Oda is obviously passionate about her home town. Her approach was friendly, flexible, happy to answer questions. Coffee stops - local businesses run by local families. Well worth going.

This was an excellent tour because our tour guide Gavin was knowledgeablefun, and informative. He told us the history of Tromso through stories of the sweets, people, commercial activity, and architecture. The bonus was we got to eat lots of delicious cakes in really interesting places. Gavin also gave us lots of suggestions for other places to go and how to shop with locally owned businesses. We followed a number of these recommendations, and this made our experience in Tromso even more enjoyable.

This walking tour was great. Oda was friendly and knowledgeable and her love for sharing about her country was evident. The desserts were yummy but the best part was the history lesson! It was a great tour!

I've lived in Tromsø for some years now, but this tour was a surprise! I got to learn new aspects of this town, its history and culture, in this case connected to food and cafes. Oda has huge knowledge about this topic and knows how to keep the guests entertained with fun facts...and sweet temptations! If you are curious about local sweet cuisine and want to add a stroll in Tromsø, then I recommend this activity :-)
