Bernard was are tour guide , and he was very knowledgeable about tromso and the different beers we tasted
We went to 3 different bars ( a little bit or walking involved)
All the beers we had were very nice , and Bernard told us all about the different breweries that make the beers
Wasn’t to keen on the tapas
Met some great people on this tour , if you like beer tasting you will enjoy this tour

Great information shared by the guide Astrid. Tour includes a lot of various beer brews. Not enough food/nibbles provided for the quantity of beer. The Arctic tapas of reindeer, seal, whale and salmon were good.

Lovely experience with many tasting of local beers and unique tapas. Enjoyed very much. Some walking required but not far. Some local history offered during walks.

A great way to get to know Tromsø. Our very knowledgeable guide as excellent….and the beers were also pretty good.

This tour was absolutely fantastic! The knowledge and history on Tromsø from our guide was everything we were after, without him even knowing he had answered all the little things we had been curious about from our own walk around the town the day before. The beer of course was delicious and the bars were absolutely beautiful! Such a great tour to go on if you want to meet new people, have great chats, fantastic beer and to learn more about Tromsø!! Thanks so much for a fab time

Absolutely recommend this experience, for beer lovers and not only. Very interesting and fun way to discover Tromso city center and learn about its history. The guide had a lot of knowledge and shared a lot of interesting things. Thank you Bernhardt!

we absolutly loved the tour. The Bars are very unique with some great history and (of course) very good beer!
You definetly need to bring a scarf from your favourite football club for the Railstation Bar. 5 out if 5 for this amazing tour!

The guide was very knowledgeable about beer in general, the beer we were drinking, and the sights of Tromso as we walked around. He answered all of our questions and was very friendly. I highly recommend this tour as a way to get some delicious beer, a quick walk around town, and meet like-minded travelers.

Berhardt(sp?) was an excellent guide. Funny with tons of knowledge. Had a wonderful time.
Totally recommend!

Our guide was very knowledgeable about both the beers and the town. He pointed out the worlds smallest bar and explained the history behind the Station pub - highly enjoyable.
Enjoyed all the different beers and the detail as to how they were made.

This was one of the best trips we did whilst in Tromso. Our guide, Bernard, took us on a walking tour of the city but we stopped in different venues along the way to sample different beers. Bernard is an excellent guide and no question we asked him went unanswered. He was very knowledgeable about the city and was truly passionate about beers. We had such a great day and we wish Bernard all the best with his future endeavours.

Amazing experience! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable, it was a great way to get a tour of the town of tromso and learn about its history whilst also trying local beers.

Very great tour. The beer was delicious... and the sample size was pretty decent ;-) Lot's of funny and interesting stories about Tromsø and beer.

Great experience with Bernard, very passionate and knowledgeable. This was a present for my husband and turned out to be a great gift!

Went on safari on February 20th and I was the only one to turn up so I had the brilliant guide, Ben, to myself. He is a charming guide and really knows his stuff about brewing but we chatted about lots of other things to do with Norway which was great. The tour visited 3 venues starting with a really small micro brewery where four very different beers were sampled. Next came a visit to Olhallen, the pub with 67 beers on tap! I only tried one here though and then we went to Kjeller 5 which has an amazing range of beers as well as an extensive range of beer making ingredients and equipment. On to the last stop for a sample of five contrasting beers and very interesting tapas. I really enjoyed the experience of the beers, tapas and most of all the company of Ben who was so interesting - thanks Ben.

Fun way to explore Tromso and meet fun people for an afternoon!

The tour was fun and informative but the description made it sound as though we'd be receiving our own plate of tapas. Instead, we had to share with another tour guest. First world problems, I know, but it was very misleading.

If you like beer, food and a bit of history then this is the tour for you. Our guide Bernard was very knowledgeable about both the local history of Tromso and the beers as well. We sampled many beers from the local region. A highlight was the Mack Brewery bar with 67 beers on tap unfortunately not enough time to sample them all. The food provided was also excellent. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something a bit different in Tromso. It was fairly good value for money in Norway where everything is very pricey.

Grosses Wissen über die Biergeschichte in Tromsø. Auch die Führung durch die Stadt war witzig und intressant gestaltet. Vielen Dank

Var så heldige å få fantastiske Albina som guide. Hun hadde mange gode historier å fortelle om byen og var svært kunnskapsrik. Ble anbefalt både kafeer og restauranter som vi besøkte. Dessverre fikk vi ikke maten som hørte til så det var veldig skuffende men ble servert rekesalat istedenfor så derfor ikke full score.

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble!!! El tour vale 100% la pena!! Tomas algunas cervezas locales y vas recorriendo algunas calles y conociendo un poco de tromsø.
HELENE_B, Feb 2024
Une visite très sympathique de Tromsø avec dégustation de 10 bières dans 3 pubs. Guide au top : très sympa et qui prend le temps de vous raconter plein de choses ! Vraiment à faire. Rapport qualité/prix très bien, compte tenu du prix de l’alcool en Norvège.

Nach ca. 25min nach unserem Anruf ob die Tour stattfindet kam Bernhard. Die Tour und die Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Ganz super Erlebnis für uns. Herzlichen Dank an Bernhard.

Fint opplegg. Vandringen med historiefortelling ga et godt innblikk i Tromsøs øl-historie. Velvalgte smaksprøver på ulike øl-typer

Sehr informative Tour für Bierliebhaber hat viel Spaß gemacht!! Einen Stern muss ich trotzdem abziehen, weil lt. Beschreibung Teilnehmer unter 18 Jahre anstatt Bier hausgemachte Limos probieren können sollten. Meine Tochter bekam allerdings nur einmal eine hausgemachte Cola und ansonsten konnte sie nur zwischen normalen Softgetränken wählen, wie Sprite, Wasser oder Coca Cola. Das fand ich schade, da sie sich doch sehr auf die Kostproben gefreut hatte. Für sie hat es sich somit nicht gelohnt.
