A two and a half hour tour through Tromsö provided us with a good overview of the cities temptations and points of interest. We entered locations we never would have found, got informations about local women and men from the past and present who are not as famous as Roald Amundsen. Stepping in small Cafés and bakeries for some sweet tastes of Tromsö. Additionally, we got plenty information personalized to our interests. In total a sweet, interesting and informative highly recommended tour. Thanks a lot for your time and all the information, Oda. BR Ferdinand

We had a great afternoon with this small group tour. Gavin was very informative with lots of interesting Tromso stories and photo stops. To top it all the coffee and cake in our last cafe stop was delicious.

Highly recommend this tour. Gavin was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about Tromso and gave lots of interesting facts. The cafes and cakes were incredible, in particular the final cafe which is tucked away in a location you would completely miss without the tour. Gavin also took some nice photos of me and my wife.

This was organized so well, who wouldn't want a city tour with sweet treats included? Gavin answered questions and gave us lots of information. He was a great host and representative of Tromso. Did I mention yummy treats?

This tour was amazing! I learned cool facts about Tromsø and got to taste lots of delicious sweets. The cake stop was my favorite - without Oda, I would’ve never found that hidden gem. The cake was incredible! Thanks so much for the sweet adventure!

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!
