City Bus Tour in Trondheim, Norway

A good overview of the Trondheim. Would like at least 30 minutes at each stop (points of interest). 15 - 20 minutes stop only allowed time mainly to take pictures.

The tour was okay . The biggest problem was the tour guide. He seemed like he was always trying to figure out where he was. He missed telling us about the bridge or Palace when we passed it. He was never sure where he wanted to bring the group to talk. The places we stopped at were great. I just think the confusion of him made the trip a little crazy. We left at the last stop and walked back to the ship and I really enjoyed that. I would tell someone about this excursion and hope they didn’t get him as a guide.

We booked this trip as English speaking travelers and this tour was sold to us as “English speaking only”. We meet with guides and they were very nice and welcoming. Upon boarding it became clear that only 4 of us spoke English and the rest of the full bus were German speaking. During the bus tour out guide was very interactive but sadly it was 90% in German and when she would finally get tell is about what we were seeing, we were either way passed the building or we would get 10words in English. Most of the times the guilds were reading off their notes which made the experience even more gloomy. The walking part was more inclusive as the second guide tried to make us feel like we are a part of the tour. Overall we don’t recommend this tour unless you like to like to pay to feel excluded, lost ans frustrated.

I could not consistently hear commentary by the guide even though she used a microphone. It diminished the tour's effectiveness.

Excellent tour of the city with knowledgeable guide. However miss out the first Fort for the view and have more time at the second fort and the Cathedral.

My wife and I recently took part in a tour in Trondheim, Norway, booked through Viator for June 19, 2025, booking number XXXXXXX. Unfortunately, the experience did not align with the advertised description, and we are incredibly disappointed with the level of service provided. Key issues: We were not informed of the tour operator’s name, making it challenging to locate the departure point. The operator was initially unaware of Viator and had no signage or clarity regarding our booking. When we finally got on the bus, it had a terrible urine smell. The tour was advertised as a bus tour with minimal walking, yet it included a 1.5-hour walking tour, which we were unable to participate in due to age and mobility constraints. It turns out that the listed 30-minute stop at Nidaros Cathedral was conditional upon joining the walking tour, forcing us to hire a taxi ($30) to return to our ship. The itinerary mentioned a drive-by of the Old Town Bridge, which was not included at all. These discrepancies made for a stressful and unsatisfactory experience. We did not receive the service we paid for, and incurred additional out-of-pocket costs due to the misleading nature of the tour description. We are requesting a full or partial refund, including reimbursement for the taxi cost.

Could have been better, the pick up point wasn’t crystal clear and the route from the cruise ship wasn’t obvious. Plus our guide wasn’t a local, he was a student and wasn’t sure about a few things, although his knowledge of the cathedral was good.

Ugh dont use them, two buses running for a cruise ship of riders coming in, they have no idea what they are doing, easy ninety minute wait for a bus on a total 6 hour tour stop... Total 2 buses running, unbelievable.

The bus we booked and paid for did not turn up at the pick up point we were so disappointed so now I need to contact trip advisor for a refund

Bus tour would start at 10:00 am. Request attendance at 0945. Bus arrived at 10.20! Guided tour would take 2 hours. After an hour and a half the Guide got off with a number of passengers to continue walking. Left the rest of the party with the driver alone to drive back to the starting point. Stunning!
