Our Viking Ocean cruise stopped in Tromsø, and since the excursions we wanted were sold out, another couple traveling with us and we booked this tour instead. We were so glad we did—it turned into our own private tour! Our guide, Fede, was fantastic. He was engaging, funny, and full of interesting stories and local knowledge as he took us around the surrounding islands. Along the way we saw beautiful mountains, fjords, lakes, wildflowers, reindeer, flocks of baby geese, and even troll villages. We learned so much about the area while taking in the scenery. This was one of the highlights of our cruise, and we highly recommend this tour—and Fede—to anyone visiting Tromsø.
Our guide Federico was excellent and provided cultural and historical insights to the incredible scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed each of the stops and the views of mountains and fjords. We highly recommend this tour.
Joaquin is a lifesaver, literally. We were exploring a trail near a frozen lake when I stumbled into a slush and was knee deep in freezing water. He immediately pulled me out, got me into a thermal suit, and without hesitation, borrowed me his pair of socks & boots while I waited for mine to dry out. He is kind, understanding, and I very much enjoyed listening to him talk about things like the surrounding marine life, geology, and local cuisine! We drove for 5 hours to countless remarkable fjords, and ended with a seaside picnic with a scenery of what the edge of the world looks like. To top it all off, we received very high quality images of our trip, which were spectacular. I wish I could rate this 100 stars instead of 5. I will be returning for more!
We had a really lovely day . The trip exceeded our expectations Fillip and Mathias were excellent . They mingled and chatted to everyone . There enthusiasm was so infectious . We couldn’t have enjoyed our day more
We found the tour good in terms of organization, but the stops were not so impressive to be worth the cost of the tour. The stops were in relatively small locations and full of other tourist buses, which left everything pretty crowded. The picnic is not worth lunch and I think it's important to bring your own snack if you take the walk. The day we went, we only received a small sandwich with a single leaf of alpha and jelly, and a few cookies. By the price of the tour and in comparison with other tours in the same value range, I found quite poor in that sense. Compared with other tours we made in the city and with its own beauty, we did not find it unavoidable to visit these islands.
Samuel was great in showing us beautiful scenery and taking pictures of us. Lunch was very simple…a hummus sandwich, cookies, and hot coffee and tea on a beach. Samuel brought us to some beautiful places . It’s obvious he loves Norway and loves showing other people around.
What an amazing experience! . Wonderful vistas every twenty minutes. Frozen fjord, frozen lake, snowy mountains, wind blown beach and a wintry island. Thank you Armand for being a wonderful guide throughout.
Great view of the fjords with amazing guides
We had the most amazing day trip to Kvaløysletta, Kaldfjord, Ersfjord, Kattfjordeidet and Sommarøy. We were very lucky with the weather as it was sunny and clear! Filip (our guide) was extremely knowledgeable and so was our driver, Mathias. They were both super friendly and engaging. The photos that Filip took were stunning and nothing was too big of an ask. The lunch was a light sandwich which was nothing incredible but still hit the spot.
Underestimated how good this would be. Really glad we did it, and saw some stunning landscapes. The pictures taken for us were really professional too. Our guide and driver were super friendly.
