    Very informative and fun walking tour

    Cindy_W, Oct 2025
    Great tour of the city with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about life in the country, the history, and saw many sites

    Great overview of the city

    Katherine_G, Oct 2025
    Carlos was great, he took us to all the highlighted sites, but also a couple of his own finding a place way up high to overlook the entire city and a quaint library and pub. The whole group enjoyed the day a lot thanks Carlos for making it special for all of us

    Trondheim City Walking Tour

    Amy_I, Sep 2025
    We enjoyed our tour of Trondheim with Carlos - we learned so much more about what we were seeing than if we had wandered by ourselves. Carlos was friendly and informative!

    The company did not...

    MotorYacht_L, Aug 2025
    The company did not fulfill what they promised, at any level. Communication is poor, not professional.

    Best guide ever

    BARRY_R, Aug 2025
    Great tour. The guide not only showed us around the city but included extra items tat we wanted to see. One of the best guides we have had in 25 years of cruising.

    The guide was a no show. Do not book this tour.

    Diana_R, Aug 2025
    Our guide never showed. We called the number of the person who was supposed to be here and she said she call the company and told them she had a medical emergency and they were supposed to send someone else but no one ever showed up and I did not receive any communications from the company. Now I have to battle for a full refund.

    Charming town tour

    joan_c, Aug 2025
    Danae very enthusiastic and energetic! She was very accommodating during our tour. She gave interesting cultural tips!

    Danae was a charming and knowledgeable guide. We finished the tour with a deeper understanding of Trondheim. Highly recommended.

    orrie_d, Jul 2025
    Nice walking tour and some lovely views but the reality is there’s not all that much to see in Trondheim.

    When I booked this tour...

    julie_l, Jun 2025
    When I booked this tour there is no indication that this is walking tour. How can you walk four hours? Also, it’s very bad weather here; cold, rain and wind.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

We sincerely apologize for the confusion and any disappointment caused. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

    Truly a great way to see the city from the local perspective. Fun and quirky you get to discover not what makes it fun for visitors but what draws somwone to make this place a home

    LOVED our walking tour...

    Hayleigh_M, Apr 2025
    LOVED our walking tour with Rossana. Very thorough with stories and details of the town of Troddheim. Would do again!

    Perspectives of a local

    Amelia_S, Dec 2024
    I like that the tour provided a good mix of Trondheim's history and interesting facts with personal stories of my guide's (Adriana) life there. Listening to Adriana's experience of living in Trondheim, the Norwegian culture and people provided insights that you won't be able to easily find on Google. Adriana shared good tips on the places I could go/see during and after the tour. Based on what I wanted to see/hear about, the tour was customised on the spot. I also appreciated how a set of questions were asked befire the tour to provide context and your interests to the local guide for a better touring experience. Though i think it will be best for the tour operator to add questions regarding how long the person has been in the town, what have they seen or know etc. To avoid having the guide share things you might already know.

    Great way to see. Trondheim.

    Louis_F, Sep 2024
    Our guide was a IT professional who gave tours during his lunch hour. He stayed in Trondheim after college and enjoyed living in the area. He gave us a thorough overview of the area and answered all of our questions. We booked a 3 hour tour, but 2 is enough. Expect to walk a great distance.

    Wonderful walking tour!

    JM_S, Aug 2024
    We appreciated Adriana waiting for us to start the tour. We were late because we got lost. She was very understanding and kind. She gave us a lot of history and insight into Norwegian culture. We saw a lot of the beautiful city. The tour was perfectly paced with frequent breaks. She even walked us back to the ship so we did not get lost again. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour very much.

    Womderful walking tour with a local

    Jeffrey_F, Aug 2024
    We had a wonderful tour with Adriana. We loved hearing the impressions from a local who was reasonably new to Trondheim. She was able to tell us what the city and its inhabitants are like and she made some wonderful recommendations for us to followup on our own.

    Fantastic city tour with perspective of a local

    Lee_C, Aug 2024
    Our guide was Benjamin, and he was wonderful. We had a lovely walking tour through the scenic streets and up to a beautiful park. We appreciate that he gave his perspective of living there, a long with some history.

    Trondheim was a treat!

    Sandy_H, Aug 2024
    Our guide (Adrian) did a great job guiding us through the city!He was very personable and full of interesting facts about so many things, not just the city but Norway in general, which was fantastic! We saw all the main attractions that we wanted to and more! Excellent tour!

    Not a great way to treat your customers!

    Scott_R, Jun 2024
    We were on a cruise and Trondheim was a port of call. Rather than book tours offered through the ship, we decided to book with a local, smaller company for a more personal experience. Unfortunately, the day before we were to arrive in Trondheim the seas were too rough to allow the ship to dock at the port the next day and we had to cancel our booked tour. Previously, while we were on the cruise, the tour company had asked us via email to change the time of the tour. Although that was not convenient to us at all, we tried to be agreeable and had agree to change the time to accommodate them. Despite our prior reasonable attitude, when we notified the tour company and Viator of our inability to participate in the tour, and even though we were almost 24 hours before the tour time, we were refused a refund of any of our payment. Both the local tour operator and Viator stated that since it was within 24 hours of our tour, even though they were "sympathetic" with our dilemma, no satisfaction would be provided. We would never book with the local company, Lokafy again and suggest booking with the cruise ship provided tours as if this happens they offer 100% refund at all times, as they did for other tours that required cancellation. Sometimes things happen that are out of control and compassion and understanding should be provided. (We did ask the operator to offer a 50% refund and even this was denied).

    See it like a native

    Adrianna was fantastic. We really enjoyed our tour. Interesting perspective from someone who is local and not a professional tour guide.

    Adrian Wolf is a great guide in Trondheim

    Peter_M, Sep 2023
    Adrian Wolf gave us a great tour of Trondheim. We were pleasantly educated and very entertained with stories of the city and its locals with a sideview to the fascinating details. All in great English . Peter Mulvany Copenhagen

    Adrian was fun knowledgeable and went the extra mile to research an historic family connection. He was well prepared, fun, and gave us lots of insight into Trondheim the people and the culture. Very good guide!

    Very nice private tour.

    Joel_P, Jul 2023
    Excellent personable guide. Very accommodating as to our interests. Knew hidden parts of the city well.

    Wonderful tour!

    Naomi_M, Dec 2022
    Rossana was fun, bubbly, and friendly. She was also very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information and fun facts with us. This made our time in Trondheim so much more meaningful! We highly recommend this tour!

    Great way to learn about the city in 1 day

    Shannon_C, Oct 2022
    Carmen was an absolutely fabulous tour guide. We walked all over the heart of Trondheim and learned more in 3 hours than we could have hoped. She was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. The only hiccup we had is the booking company got us confused and we were waiting for her in a different location than she thought. She was very quick to accommodate us and meet us where we were.

    Found a new bird in Trondheim, beautiful Magpie

    Beverly_L, Sep 2022
    2 hour walking tour with Carmen of the city. She was full of tips to navigate the city and history. She went out of her way to show us restaurants, special shopping stores and the location of our other boat trip. We also saw a new bird she identified for us

    Great tour with a very nice and knowlegable guide

    Alex B, Jul 2019
    Our guide Patrick met us just next to the Cruse Ship terminal and gave us a very nice tour of Trondheim. In addition he gave us a lot of information about Norway and its people, local customs, local way of life, etc. Patrick spent more than the planned 2 hours with us and it was a memorable and a pleasant tour. Highly recommended.
