Perfect Introduction To Arctic Landscape - This tour is an excellent way to experience the stunning arctic Norwegian landscape in an easy and very accessible manner. The stops and views were all spectacular, and our guide Evgeni knowledgeable, flexible, helpful and fun! We spotted reindeer on a couple of occasions, and had ample time in a beautiful, gleaming white beach at Grøtfjord. Our last stop, the Bryggejentene café at Ersfjordbotn is not only a place with fantastic views of the fjord, but also houses an utterly charming homeware and interiors boutique.

An excellent experience - This was a small-group tour, just seven participants and totally worth the expenditure. Our guide, Ellie, was excellent: personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a safe driver. Ellie had a choice of spots where she could stop and selected them based on weather conditions and the interest of each person in the group. We enjoyed spectacular views from the best vantage points, reindeer spotting, citizen science and a home-made lunch on an arctic beach in bright sunshine. A well-earned five stars!

An incredible tour! - It was an amazing tour! Evgeni drove us to the highlights surrounding Tromsø and the islan of Kvaløya. We got to see beautiful Fjords, take amazing pictures and enjoy an delicious lunch provided by Wandering Owl on a rocky beach with good weather! I would highly recommend this experience in the summer too, one gets to see beautiful scenery and the surrounding nature :) I will be happy to do it again!

Tuesday, June 11th day tour. - My wife and I did the day tour, starting at 11am. Meeting near the entrance to the Scandic Ishavshotel. At 11am our tour van arrived. Ellie was our driver, and our guide. After introductions and tour formalities, we were on our way. The van holds 8 passengers, (tourists) and we had 7 on this trip. We had a nice group of people on the tour. Ellie was a wonderful driver, and tour guide. She did a great job with all of us. What a joy to visit with. We made several stops during our journey. Ellie was a great storyteller, and gave us just enough information as to not overwhelm us. In Grotfjord we stopped for lunch. A yummy sandwich was provided, along with what we chose, a delicious warm fruit drink. Excellent. During our trip we did see reindeer, and we saw a fox. The citizen science explanation and demonstration on the beach was very interesting. We had a wonderful tour. Ellie did such a great job. Thanks.

Great way of discovering the area around Tromso - It was nice to have Evgeni as our guide. He showed us many nice places where we could take beautiful pictures of for instance fjords. We also had the luck to see some reindeers. A big advantage to be guided by a local. :)
