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.

Choose this tour instead of cruise tour - Had a great time with Ellie. Close encountered reindeers in beach and close to city range. Visited some amazing photo spots. Had picnic lunch in a peaceful beach. Every stops were well thought of. The pickup spot just 2 mins walk from the cruise terminal. We cancelled our cruise inclusive tour to go with this one. It was a good choice, we saw more of the local area outside Tromsø

Landscape experience - Booked on the Arctic sightseeing tour last minute and was so glad that I did. It was the highlight of my trip. The scenery was amazing and the winter sunlight and lack of a breeze meant that we had perfect reflections in the lakes. Antony was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable with a supply of great thick hot chocolate.
