Gerard was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He knew the best little turnoffs and hidden spots! Most enjoyable.

A good way to see Tromso and environs.

We were picked up at our cruise ship which was great. We were a small group of 4 people. While the weather wasn’t the best for photos, we managed to see the most prominent Fjords. Gerard was a very good guide and we learned a good deal about this environment and history of the locale. I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

We really enjoyed this...

Daniel_H, Jun 2026

We really enjoyed this tour! Gerard was our guide and he was excellent. It was nice having a smaller group on this tour (less than 15 people) so we did not need to wait around for people to get on/off the bus. We had plenty of time at each stop to see the sights, taking in the beautiful views and the incredible smells (yes, really!) of the area. We were fortunate to have excellent weather which helped to make the day memorable. Having been to Tromso before, this was a great way to see a bit more of the area, outside of the city.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear that you really enjoyed the tour and that Gerard helped make your day so enjoyable. We’re glad you appreciated the smaller group size and having plenty of time at each stop to take in the scenery without feeling rushed. It’s wonderful that you were also treated to such beautiful weather, making the views and the experience even more memorable! Since you had visited Tromsø before, we’re especially happy that the tour gave you the opportunity to explore more of the stunning surroundings outside the city. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Tromsø!

Great tour but no clear instructions for meeting spot by taxi stands on pier

Doreen_S, Jun 2026

Ellie was terrific as our tour guide. Very informative and beautiful scenery. HOWEVER, the business Wondering Owl needs to place clear specific instructions for the actual meeting point on the pier. My instructions did not have SPECIFIC location to meet. Pier is huge crab into others who booked same tour and they all had the same problem finding where to meet the bus/van. I went over a hour early and read all the instructions. Not good business to leave people going back and forth up and down the pier asking others if they know. Other than that mess of where to specifically meet the van, the tour itself self was good. One couple said their email told them at the taxi stand but the other 7 of us did not get that specific instruction.

Sightseeing near Tromso with Wandering Owl.

Carol_S, Jun 2026

Our guide Evgani was great. He took his time with us to explain what we were seeing and claimed he gave us a little extra. There’s not too much to see near Tromso except beautiful scenery so this tour was appropriate for the area. We did see a few reindeer which was fun.
