This was a great introduction to Tromso… we found some interesting places that we wouldn’t have known about and having some information brings it alive… would recommend this audio guide
Used GPS and Bluetooth to simplify things. Good information, good route, easy to use.
DO NOT BUY VOICE MAP Tromso !!! We spent the money for nothing! -No real explanation on how this thing works, -I assume you need to start at a specific place, we could not get it to work from another place -it had a problem with determining our position using GPS -lots of flaws -It crashed several times
There is not much to see in Tromsø itself. Not much to do either - but good places to eat and/or drink (prices are usually fair, people are nice and well-behaved, there are no safety concerns). But there are a lot to see, all around, not so far from the town. So, it is a good place for lodging. Note : a this moment (end of June 2025), there is a lot construction/repairs work going on here., in the streets. It is slightly annoying, considering the noise, the dirt and also some alteration of the immediate scenery. The never-ending daylight is quite an experience...
30 minutes of the main highlights. There are longer organized tours, but this gave us all we needed to appreciate this lovely town.
It is well produced but seems a little thin. For the price , it's not bad, but don't expect much. We think you can buy one tour and share on two phones, but that was not clear in any of the instructions. So we paid for two tours and probably didn't need to.
I left this to our last afternoon and the link did not work. I tried and my son tried and it came up with an 'invalid code' message. As I left this for my last experience i did not believe I would get a response sufficiently quickly to be able to do the walk, so did not try.
The tour assumes the cruiseship docks in Tromso with the starting point close by. Our cruiseship docked 2kl out of the city with the shuttle in to Tromso dropping us off in the middle of downtown. We asked for directions to the statue starting point and were directed to a statue but the wrong one. We used the tour but found out we were following it backwards. Dialoque was still quite good at all of the points of interest. Polar musseum was very good.
I downloaded the tour and it was not too long, not too short, it was just right! We went at our own pace and could stop the narration to go into shops or take photos. Glad we did it!
Short and sweet audio tour. Perfect for our family with 2 teenagers who hate this sort of thing, and we definitely saw parts of the city we had not been to. We were all able to use the same login so only paid once for the 4 of us.
I would recommend doing this walking tour the first chance upon arrival in Tromsø. It would have truly helped to see where everything was from the start. We did it on our last day, but it was still interesting to hear a little bit more history than we had before. It was great that the tour automatically paused until you got to the next stop. Made it very convenient to get those photo opportunities, if we needed to go off the tour path for a few minutes.
The tour worked out perfectly, the walk through the city is very nice and the facts about Tromsø and its history are interesting
This was a way to start off my Tromso visit. It was easy to use, I could go at my own pace, and it helped me get a feel for the area and stretch my legs.
A nice walk guided by a pleasant voice along the harbour and back via main road in centre. You get an imagine of what life has been here earlier and now, a tripp into history. architecture of the town and the people who are living here and their culture.
Once we mastered this app and downloaded the audio tour we thoroughly enjoyed being independent tourists. Good clear info and history. Plus helpful accompanying map
The guide was informative however as with previous comments it is a very short walking tour and took 20 mins at most with stops for photos
The walking tour was informative but only took about 15-20 minutes. It was over before we knew it!..
belle construction au niveau architecturale, mais sans lumieres sur ces vitraux cela laisse a desire. les vitraux ne sont pas mis en valeur. L'entree est que a partir de 15:15 et il faut payer 130Nok pour cela franchement exagere. Si on italie chaque eglise ferait payer ces sommes, ils seraient le pays le plus riche du monde, sans etre le plus cher! Le bus pour y aller c'est 50Nok et le ticket est valable 1h30
Tromsø is a sympathetic town, the city tour was short-lived, a bit short for the money, but interesting. You should make them right at the beginning of the journey.
De wandeling anders gedaan, dan volgens de app. Dan is het lastig om de audio te krijgen. De app werkte niet goed mee en liep steeds vast, waardoor ik steeds opnieuw moest opstarten.
Wenig Inhalt, kurze Tour - hätten mehr Erwartet. Hätte man sich sparen können. Technik war ganz gut.
Ganz nette, wenn auch kurze Stadtführung. Man kommt an einigen sehenswerten Orten vorbei, die man sich etwas genauer anschauen könnte. Für mich, der sie erst am zweiten Tag meines Aufenthaltes gemacht hat war allerdings nicht viel neues dabei. Die knapp 8€ haben sich für mich somit überhaupt nicht gelohnt.
Monday through Friday 9 am to 7 pm EST
