Stop to be missed

3.00This is one port that can easily be skipped. The weather was cloudy during our visit, so we couldn’t see much of the scenery. Even on a clear day, I would rather spend the money on other attractions elsewhere on the itinerary. The following day we visited Tromsø, which offered far more interesting excursions and activities. If you’re cruising through this region, I would recommend using this stop to relax and enjoy the ship’s amenities instead. For me, this port call was the least memorable part of the trip. The highlight was spotting a few reindeer along the way, but otherwise I found it to be a disappointing stop.
Great Tour

5.00Our tour guide Lana was awesome. She did a great job of keeping us all together, speaking loudly and clearly and giving us a lot of history about the town. I highly recommend her as a tour guide. She walked at a good pace and always ensured everyone kept up.

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Gael. Fortunately for me, it ended up being a personal solo tour. Gael has exceptional knowledge of the city and took me to some spectacular viewpoints as well as sharing information at each site. A must do tour if in Trondheim.
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.
