Tromso Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

the best experience! thank you Kat... someday I will comeback with my family and avail your service again!

First and foremost I want to thank Tarik for the amazing experience. A friendly guy that knew exactly where to take us. Then he made us food on the campfire and gave us marshmallows to grill too!

Amazing Northern Lights tour! We had a fantastic evening and saw an incredible Northern Lights display

It was rainy and cloudy all around tromso hence Jordy ( guide) decided to go to Finland where we had partial clear skies and nice aurora activity. Kept the group engaged throughout the journey and took some excellent photos. Long night but rewarding The driver was very good too

Oda and her husband Gavin were very accommodating and Oda toured us around town to wonderful coffee and treat places - she was very informative about her town

Excellent tour with a very well spoken and knowledgeable guide . Learnt many things today about the history of Tromsco. Fully recommended. Loved the tour quiz. Kept us on our toes.

Oda was an excellent guide! We learned a lot about Tromsøs history and the polar bears. She also gave us some very good recommendations of places to visit in the city and even surprised us with some chocolate. The museums included in the tour are great, especially with such a nice guide!

It was e fantastc tour! Our gide, Gavin was wery kind giving us all his knowlidge about Thromso. The tour was en sweet one indeed. Thanks a lot! Peter and Gabi from Hungary

The snow was dumping in Tromso the whole day and night we were booked on our Aurora chase and so we didn’t have much hope in finding any clear sky in the chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis but Antonio our guide did an amazing job in making it happen. We ended up driving several hours south of Tromso to find the clear sky. Antonio didn’t stop working the whole night to make it happen, it really was a chase that night. We got to see amazing lights. The van we travelled in was warm and comfortable. The photos we also got were insane. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We were fortunate that we had heavy snow the days we were in Tromso which made the Reindeer experience all the more special. We were on the front sleigh and had the reindeer from the sleigh behind at the side of us all the time, an amazing experience. Feeding the Reindeer was nice too especially the young ones. Hot drinks were available throughout the trip along with cookies. The traditional lunch was amazing, we thought it would feel odd eating reindeer stew having just fed the herd but it was delicious. The Sami talk was a little confusing as it was all in German so we went back outside to enjoy the scenery sat next to the open fire with hot chocolate.

Such a solid experience!! They made us feel like family and welcomed us into their home. It was cold on the ice but they looked after everyone and offered more clothes to anyone who needed it. We were lucky enough to catch a fish and eating it right after was once in a lifetime experience. Well worth it.

The highlight of our trip. We got some lovely photos and videos of the reindeer. If we had to pick one single excursion for our time in Tromso this would be it.

We loved the experience and the reindeer were lovely. Such a quiet and scenic ride through the snow. One small thing to note—it’s nearly impossible to take good photos while the sled is in motion, so make sure to snap your pictures before or after the ride. Still, it was the highlight of our trip and very well organized. Highly recommend for the cozy vibes in the lavvu tent!

We knew we couldn't see the northern lights since it was the end of April, but the activity is so much worth It anyway. It was only us and the artic and we were in awe the whole time. The silence, the sound of the river in the background, the light shimmering through the clouds in the horizon... It was magical. Also, best chocolate ever! The hot beverage was a traditional one (and so much better than the hot chocolate we were expecting) We got lots of anectodes on Tromso and its story from our guide, André, who made the atmosphere of this little adventure friendly and peaceful. I promise this experience will surprise you.

We chose this tour because a self drive dog sled excursion was not an option on our cruise. The meeting point was very close to our ship and the drive to the kennel was very scenic. You can tell the dogs are well cared for and love to run. There were stops along the trail for photos and we had beverages and cake back at the kennel. They provide additional clothing if you think you’ll need it. If you find yourself in Tromso and want to drive a dog sled, I recommend this tour. You will have a lot of fun.

Amazing from start to finish, staff and dogs absolutely love what they do. Dogs are friendly and well trained. Safety and equipment are excellent. Me and my wife went as our 60th birthday treat and loved every minuet of it !
