Perfect mix between learning the history of the city and how it is living there today

5.00We needed the convenience of somebody showing us around town in Trondheim. Based on the review, we picked this tour, and we're so glad we did. Being the low season, we were the only ones on the tour with Gael. He got us situated with spikes, ready to walk around. He had great information, helping his narrative with a binder of articles and pictures to show Trondheim over time. It was so great. Perfect mix between learning the history of the city and how it is living there today. Very enjoyable, and highly recommended!

5.00Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the stories of Nidaros Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace to life with fascinating historical details. Walking through the colorful wooden houses of Bakklandet felt like stepping back in time, and crossing the Old Town Bridge offered some of the best photo opportunities in the city.
A lovey walk around Trondheim

5.00Communication with Tour operators was very easy and they were very responsive. Maelle was our guide and she was knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Trondheim is a relatively small town but picturesque with an interesting history. The walk was easy. A nice way to spend two hours.

4.00Gael is very knowledgeable in the history of the city and also of Norway in general, how relations has changed between neighbouring Sweden and Denmark. He knows all the important dates and the nuggets of interesting facts behind the whys in Norway. He is also punctual and accommodating to your speed. He can guide in French too. A good source of information for where to buy what, best way to get to airport etc. in Trondheim, i recommend.
Enjoyable and educational Trondheim tour

5.00Our walking tour of Trondheim was a highlight of our trip, thanks to our incredible guide, Maëlle! From the moment we met, her warmth and friendly demeanor made us feel instantly welcome. Her knowledge of the city's history, from the majestic Nidaros Cathedral to the charming wharves along the Nidelva River, was impressive. What set her apart was her engaging storytelling ability. She didn't just recite facts, but she wove narratives that brought Trondheim's past to life. Her genuine passion and enthusiasm for her city were infectious, and she delighted in sharing its stories with us. We left feeling not just informed, but connected to this beautiful place. We cannot recommend her tour enough. If you want an authentic and memorable experience, schedule with Maëlle.
