Overview

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.

Great tour lot’s of interesting history!

Published on Sep, 2024

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

A wonderful introduction to Tromso

Published on Oct, 2023

My friend and I had an amazing tour with our guide, Boris, around the local area. We were lucky that we were the only two and so it was a very personal experience. We were taken to see the most important places in Tromso and visited two museums. We learned so much about the history of the city and its famous residents, particularly Roald Admunsen, the explorer. The railway station was quite a surprise too. Boris explained everything in a clear and friendly manner - the trip just flew by - but we both appreciate Tromso much more now. We finished the tour by the harbour at the museum at Full Steam, where we then stayed to have a delicious lunch. A great morning out!w

It is really worth it!

Good, friendly and knowledgeable guide in the person of Boris. He really took his time for us. It was really worth it and the tour exceeded our expectations.

Tromsø-entry to the arctic.

Published on Aug, 2023

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

Very informative

Published on Aug, 2023

The guide was very informative and explained not only historical facts about Tromsø but also answered all of our questions about the lifestyle in the Arctic. We thought it was going to be a big group, but we were only 4 people. Highly recommended.
