This was a fantastic experience. We were keen to see something of the surrounding fjord area and were recommended this tour by the tourist office representative that visited the hotel.
In fact as it turned out there were just three of us on the tour, expertly driven and guided by our driver Freddie. It was a real privilege to spend time in his company - imparting stories from his childhood as well as providing insight and commentary that only someone who was local to the fjord area could.
No question was too trivial and he was happy to stop wherever we wanted as long as it was safe. Given the snow covered conditions, we were treated to some impressive views but also left feeling we had a much better understanding of the fjord settlement culture both present and past.
When we returned to Tromso we felt very much as if we had been on a day trip with a friend rather than an organised tour. If you are the sort of person who likes scenery and would like to see a different part of the Tromso region - or just leave teh commercialisation of activity tours behind - then we can recommend this trip more highly
