Here is what they say
The Tromsø City Walk was the highlight of our trip. Thomas was so engaged, knowledgeable and friendly - we had a great time and learned so many interesting things about Tromsø. Honestly, we were surprised and fascinated about the city´s history. Highly recommended!
- Anna, Germany ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’re glad we chose a guided hike to Fløya. It felt much safer and our guide took us up a route that was both easier and more beautiful than the stairs we tried a few days before. The view from the top was unforgettable
- Jack, Australia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect way to start our Tromsø trip. In just two hours we got to know the city, its culture and history in a way we never would on our own. The guide also gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. A must-do in Tromsø.

Are the tours suitable for everyone?
Yes! The City Walk is easy for all ages. The Fløya hike is an easy to moderate hike - we take the safest and most scenic route, not the steep stairs. You don´t need to be in top shape; we always adapt the pace to the group.
Why book a guided hike to Fløya instead of going on your own?
With a guide you’ll feel safer, discover hidden paths with better views, and avoid the crowded stairs. Plus, our guides share local stories about Tromsø and Norway along the way – turning the hike into a cultural experience, not just a walk.
