Amazing landscapes - Our guide Stefan was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about the local area and people. He made best use of the limited daylight to show us the impressive landscapes and also some wildlife. A must for nature lovers.

Great experience! - We had a great experience! Even with a very cloudy and windy day we saw so many beautiful sights. Our guide Steffan was great! The Fjords were amazing, saw a lot of reindeer on the way back, and had many options for the included lunch stop.

Professional, Trustworthy Tour Guides - Fantastic tour, great communication with company from the start. Catered for my problem with painful hip by collecting us from the ship, dropping us off and reserving a front seat for me in the car. Enthusiastic tour guide, careful driving, fantastic views, coffee stop and including a tasty lunch. Reindeer and beautiful scenery. Great job. Highly recommend this company

Small group tour - A great company for land based fiords sightseeing tour. Our guide Steffen was very knowledgeable and had great stories to tell. A small group of 6 in our car so it was very personal and private. Being in a car we could get to places the larger minibuses and coaches couldn’t. From pick-up to drop-off Steffen was polite and courteous. We got to see Reindeer and a pair of White Tailed Eagles soaring above a fiord,visited the cosy Bryggejentene( Harbour coast) cafe/restaurant on the edge of a fjord and further along the way on Sommaroya island stopped for a great lunch with even better views at the Artic Hotel.Finally stopping at the original Sami scripts. A wonderful day , with spectacular views which we could have easily missed.

Amazing tour and amazing guides - The tour is absolutely amazing for it takes us through much of the region outside tromso town. Our guides Stefan and Eric were super friendly and went really out of the way so that we could spot wildlife and other scenic pictures. Would definitely recommend this tour to have a good road trip and fjord experience.

Beautiful scenery in great company. - It felt closer to a nice trip with a friend than a guided tour, Steffen, the guide, was friendly, informative. The places shown were beautifull, the rythm was nice. I cannot think of anything that would have made the tour better.

Great Scenery - The tour guide was very nice and polite. All around good bloke. However for the price, it would have been nice to have had more of a guided experience, to hear a bit about the history of Tromso, the Sammi or how fjords are formed. Unfortunately we got less of a guide and more of a driver who just drives you to the places tells you the names and not much else which creates long periods of silence, in a small van, in between stops. We didn’t stop at the Tirpitz, despite this being advertised as part of the itinerary. Real shame as that’s why I chose this tour. There were no stone/ wood carvings either as the pics would appear to suggest. Also for an “Artic Wildlife Tour” we only saw a couple of eagles whilst driving along in the van. To be fair, not sure how much blame you can place on the operator for this but still they should consider changing the name as “wildlife” definitely isn’t the focus. The sites were magnificent especially in the far north (which I don’t think other tours venture to). Took amazing photos and the guide was more than happy to make stops along the way for additional photo opps. Again he was very friendly. However next time I would go with a more informative tour with a tour guide that had a bit more information to give or more to say generally.
