I booked last minute, to catch a good weather window when it cleared up suddenly in the evening. Our guide, Evgeni, is a great guy, very easy to talk to and well traveled. He made sure the hike was comfortable, informative, and rewarding. The hike we did was by no means too strenuous, but not too easy either. We got a fantastic view of two fjords, a mountain valley, and surrounding mountains from the top, and it was beautiful all the way through. Tbe snack was tasty and the drinks were hot, which was great because it got pretty cold, so be prepared. I had 4 layers, hat, gloves, good socks and boots, and it was still chilly (no more than 5 degrees, probably, if not less). The highlight of my trip to tromso, for sure. Would highly recommend and would do it again myself!

The most memorable part of the trip for us was meeting Anthony and getting to know him. He told us about him and it really felt like we were hiking with a friend.

I enjoyed this hike very much. Ellie was a wonderful tour guide. The pace was great: not too fast or too slow. The drinks and meals were great. Ellie was very explanative throughout the hike. The views were wonderful and I know they didn’t control it, but the weather was awesome as well.

It has been a pleasure to have you on tour with us and we hope to welcome you back to Tromso again one day.
All the best!

Really nice hike to a place where you can see different fjords at the same time. Sadly, the weather was not good but (and I didn't think it would have been possible) thanks to the team and our tour guide Anthony, we didn't feel it and had a really great time. The good mood was also there and we discussed, laughed a lot. When you reach the top, Anthony gives you really nice home-made food and drinks which were tasty and filled enough. I was also lucky that other tourists in the group were really nice as well. At the end Anthony insisted to bring me back home instead of letting me walk a few minutes, that was really nice of him and really appreciated!
I've also recommended this activity to a friend that did it and seemed to have enjoyed it as well.

A “Must-Do” on a summer trip to Tromso! We had the most positive and upbeat guide ever in Anthony, who was friendly and enthusiastic. The hike was not hard but enough to be utterly rewarding with incredible views. Highly recommended as an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

La météo un peu capricieuse mais raisonnable et changeante, l’expérience de cette randonnée pédestre reste toutefois superbe et très appréciable. En particulier grâce aux paysages incroyables et à notre très cher guide, Anthony. Ce dernier était tout simplement le soleil qui s’est fait un peu timide ce soir-là !
Nous étions un petit groupe de 3 personnes, avec David, très sympathique également ! Anthony a su nous mettre directement à l’aise et aborder des sujets de conversation passionnants. Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer !
Au point culminant de la randonnée, nous avons eu comme récompense une merveilleuse soupe de lentilles, épicée comme il le fallait suivi d’un chocolat chaud très réconfortant.
Merci à Anthony et son équipe pour cette découverte bucolique d’une partie de Tromsø.
