Top Nuuk Walking Tours

The self guided tour was really good. It gave a lot of information and was pretty easy to follow. Being able to stop the commentary whenever we wanted to explore something is a great feature. The download takes some time so I recommend you this before you start and where you have good internet.

Excellent platform for leisurely learning. The pause and walk function was great. The audio voice was pleasant and clear. Great value.

Our guide was passionate as well as knowledgeable about the local history and culture. Walking through the city and exploring its landmarks gave us a deep appreciation for the rich heritage of this region. Visiting the key landmarks and learning about their significance was both educational and inspiring.

I have traveled to so many places around the world, but Greenland is unique, unlike anything you have read about or expected to see. That is why I booked this walking tour with some trepidation—would they show me an overly embellished version of Nuuk? How happy I was when all my fears proved to be unfounded. Our guide, Sikki, was the most open-minded, down-to-earth, empathetic, and extremely honest local I could have dreamed of. Besides being a brilliant storyteller (as most Greenlanders turn out to be), Sikki knew how to make the most of even the smallest story; how to draw your attention not only to the popular sights in the city, but also to the people behind them; to the spirits and stories that fill them. Whether you ask him about the symbols on the flag, the connections between Greenlanders and Danes, polar bears and how to protect yourself from them, or how to hunt with a harpoon—at the end of the tour, you will feel that you have learned much more about the people—their beliefs, dreams, and hopes—than about where the country's prime minister lives (and why he likes to go to his fellow citizens' parties). To say that I recommend it is an understatement. I think that if you are in this city for even a day, you should do everything you can to book this tour. What's more - Rob - this extremely nice guy from the team who was responsible for facilitating the meeting not only welcomed me and my friend with cappuccinos on a freezing December morning (I must admit that this melted my heart), but he also took one of my hobbies seriously - sending postcards. I urgently needed stamps, and although I had no idea where the post office in Nuuk was, by the end of the tour with Sikki I already had the stamps I needed to send the postcards on their long journey home. What else do you need when you're so far from home, except people who make you feel at home.

We enjoyed the breathtaking fjord views, many architectural highlights and some lively marketplaces, right on foot. It was like and urban exploration, but connected with nature. We also interacted with friendly locals. The tour guide was made it all to be an enjoyable experience.

Really great tour, especially when you first arrive. The guide incorporated a lot of her personal experiences with the folklore and growing up in a unique place with the history and things we saw. The food was excellent, especially since the place was in the newer part of town which I may have never see otherwise. Would recommend to anyone visiting.

A great guided walk of Nuuk. Very informative and very interesting.

This tour exceeded my expectations. The GPS function worked perfectly and there was even an arrow to show which direction I needed to walk to get to the next stop in the tour. The narration was clear and concise and very interesting. I was in Nuuk as part of a cruise and this tour saved us hundreds of dollars compared to cruise sponsored excursions. The walk itself is easy and manageable for most anyone. This is a great introduction to Nuuk and I highly recommend it to anyone else visiting the city.

As I am interested in history, I was glad to know from the tour guide about the rich history of the Inuit people, from their ancient hunting techniques to their intricate artwork. The tour was an enriching experience that gave a glimpse into the rich culture and history of Greenland.

I spent the morning with Amr showing me around Nuuk, and telling me history, customs and general information. Amr was the best and a great tour leader. Later he took me in his car to show me areas not walkable from downtown. Amr also helped me find the right tour companies to book other trips while I was in Nuuk.

The guide was very thorough although the directions were hard to follow as the guide kept referring to street names and very few street signs were available. We ended up just following our blue dots and “steering” our way along the path and had the most success. The descriptions and history provided was very good.

This walking app guided through Nuuk where I learned some of the Greenlandic stories and saw monuments to the stories as well as the scenery. The tour had continual narration as I went from one site to another, and most stops had more than just one place of interest. The pace was just right and the map in the app kept me on track. I did get lost a couple of times but I was able to find where I was and where I needed to be by switching to either Apple or Google maps. The app did stop a few times and I had to restart. The app has a virtual tour function where I could listen before going into Nuuk which I really appreciated since I didn’t have to stay at a site in the cold and wind. Listening to the details about the memorials and monuments was so much more interesting than just walking about and I would have missed so much. I appreciated the directions in the narration so I could just plug in headphones and put my phone in my pocket. I am directionally challenged though and needed to refer to the map a few times. Also, the app would stop once in awhile and I had to restart. Between the app and the maps, my phone lost battery power quickly and I was very sorry I didn’t take a power pack.

Wonderful walking tour full of information, especially Nuuk's long and fascinating history. The anecdotes about historical figures were very interesting, and it was a lovely, long walk. One note: We have no problems with stairs, but others in our age group (65-75) need to know that there is a very long stair climb (194 steps!) at the end of this tour.

Excellent cultural and historical walking tour of the capital which is a very walkable city. Rug up warm even in Summer.

This is an excellent way to tour the city. It allows you to start and stop at your leisure without having to wait for or rush to be with a tour group. The information presented was extremely interesting and brought us to places we probably would have not seen otherwise. Highly recommend this company and their tours.

This was our first use of the app, walkntours, and one mistake was not downloading the complete tour prior to leaving the ship. We had to find internet in nuuk to downtown it. The second mistake was to sign off when a note stated you can come back to the tour anytime during that day but did not state with internet service, and again we had to find internet service. Once the tour was downloaded, both the narrative and maps were great and very informative. The tour offered the information via email, which I selected, but to date have not received it. These problems is why I only gave it a "4".
