In the company of your own guide, you can explore the city by foot on this unique walking tour. The tour is organized with 3 hours duration.

On this tour we take you on a walk around the small city centre of Tromsø that has been founded in 1795 on the island of Tromsøya and its surrounding. The city has, also called the Gateway to the Arctic, been throughout history the start for several Polar Expedition.

Tromsø has long been an important base for many polar expeditions, and the Polar Museum exhibits and presents this polar seafaring tradition. After the visit at the Polar Museum, we will go to Full Steam where we will visit the exhibitions about the Maritime and Fisheries history as well as Sea Sami culture and history.

The walk continues through the “Storgata” towards the Framsenter (the main building in Tromsø for research in the arctic). We will walk next to Ølhallen, Tromsøs oldest pub which used to be a popular place to stay for fishermen and explorers.

Boris was an excellent guide. We learned so much about Tromso and its history. I highly recommend this walking tour.
Disappointing on several levels.

The guide was a nice man and extremely knowledgeable but he needed to condense his commentary as he spent way too much time and went into far too much technical detail in the museums which ended up to be very boring. Through no fault of his, the Full Steam had flooded so we could only access the Sami portion of the exhibit. He spent 1.5 hours explaining the Sami, which was way too much. He needed to figure a way to tell highlights and edit his speech. He also went into great detail on the scientific properties of the Aurora Borealis which, again, making the audience lose interest. The Polar Museum was more of the same. Way too much detail and not enough tidbits of interest to keep the attention of his audience. The time in the museums could have been cut by 2/3 to be much more interesting and effective. We enjoyed walking around the city and the highlights of information provided about the history of the different buildings, churches and monuments. The tour advertises the Full Steam experience which we did not get due to the flooding and also visiting the oldest pub, which we never went to. This was disappointing. Overall, this could have been a good experience if the guide had been able to tone down the depth and breadth and overly technical speeches and by providing a more informative yet fun tour. Not happy that we didn’t get the Full Steam experience or go to the pub, as advertised.
It is really worth it!

We were late in arriving at the meeting point because of ignorance regarding its proximity to the cruise terminal. However, the tour guide was there waiting for us. We carried on with the tour as if nothing happened. Boris, our tour guide was gracious enough to carry on with the walking tour around Tromso. Interesting town with its history, polar lights, arctic center. We will come back to see the northern lights next time v

Boris was early and we started out tour right on time. He was so knowledgeable and nice! We saw so many things and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the tour. We started right off by seeing a service in their lovely wooden church. Folks were in their native dress and so lovely. He educated us about the Sammi and we saw many artifacts.
