Great Way To See The City At Your Own Pace

Published on Jul, 2024

I downloaded the tour and it was not too long, not too short, it was just right! We went at our own pace and could stop the narration to go into shops or take photos. Glad we did it!

Short and sweet

Published on Feb, 2024

Short and sweet audio tour. Perfect for our family with 2 teenagers who hate this sort of thing, and we definitely saw parts of the city we had not been to. We were all able to use the same login so only paid once for the 4 of us.

Convenient way to learn a little bit more about Tromsø

Published on Jan, 2024

I would recommend doing this walking tour the first chance upon arrival in Tromsø. It would have truly helped to see where everything was from the start. We did it on our last day, but it was still interesting to hear a little bit more history than we had before. It was great that the tour automatically paused until you got to the next stop. Made it very convenient to get those photo opportunities, if we needed to go off the tour path for a few minutes.

A nice walk through the city

Published on Jan, 2024

The tour worked out perfectly, the walk through the city is very nice and the facts about Tromsø and its history are interesting

A tour guiding you shouldn’t miss

Published on Jan, 2023

A nice walk guided by a pleasant voice along the harbour and back via main road in centre. You get an imagine of what life has been here earlier and now, a tripp into history. architecture of the town and the people who are living here and their culture.
