I had booked this tour months ago for a trip that I am currently on. The tour was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (Meeting spot was in the city center) and was 5 hours in length. Keep in mind our cruise ship was docked from 8:00-6:00 (back on board at 5:00 and was around 10-15 minutes from the city center so the 10:00 start was just perfect. at 10:25 p.m. the night before the tour (which was after I went to sleep and I didn't see until the morning of the tour) I received a message stating they were adjusting the start time back to 11:30 a.m. which meant it would be scheduled to end at 4:30 p.m. (the last shuttle from the city center to the ship was at 4:30 p.m.). For me this was way too tight so sent a note to cancel me out and how disappointed this was to make this change in reality the day of the tour. To me this is very unprofessional. The cruise time never changed and the ship was on schedule. I didn't hear back from them about me cancelling until the next day where they told me the change was made to accommodate guests on the same cruise ship. This makes no sense as there was no issue with our guests getting to the meeting time at 10:00 a.m and this change meant that if one thing went wrong we would be late getting back to the ship. Poor communication and be careful of them changing things at the last minute. We had to scramble to find another tour that morning we were there.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were disappointed with the schedule adjustment. The departure time was changed in advance to better accommodate passengers arriving from the same cruise ship and to ensure that all guests had sufficient time to reach the meeting point after disembarkation. The updated schedule was still planned to return well before the ship's departure. According to our records, the tour operated successfully, and all participating cruise guests returned to the port on time. We have never missed a cruise departure. We understand that you were uncomfortable with the revised timing and chose not to join the tour. While we respect your decision, it is important for future readers to know that this review reflects your decision not to participate, rather than the actual tour experience. It is also worth noting that the other guests from the same cruise ship who joined this tour completed it successfully and have since awarded us 5-star reviews, reflecting their positive experience and confirming that the adjusted schedule worked as intended. We also note that the same 1-star review was posted across multiple platforms. We believe prospective guests will consider both your account and the experiences of those who actually joined the tour when forming their own opinion. We continuously review guest feedback and communication procedures to improve the experience for everyone.
It was a wonderful trip! We spontaneously booked a trip with Hello Tromsø today. Kirstin, our guide, and Omar, our bus driver, safely took us to the most beautiful places in Tromsø and the surrounding area. The bus was super clean and comfortable. Kirstin showed and explained all the sights to us during the bus ride. She was very well prepared, totally engaged, and with her knowledge, cheerful and open-minded nature, and her love for Tromsø, she inspired all of us. The tour lasted about 5 hours. We stopped at several stations where Kirstin always told us something about the surroundings and nature. Our destination was Sommarøy. Totally beautiful! Here we were provided with delicious snacks and drinks. We had enough time for a few great photos, a shared meal, and a little beach walk. Kirstin took great care of us! At our request, she took photos of us with her camera, which she sent to us via email on the same day. This trip was amazing! Everything was really perfect here. Thank you for the great day☀️ Iris, Ilke, and Kirsten

Everything was great and the tour guide was good.
Wonderful places and the guide Anastasia is very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations. Thank you for everything Mirca
Very beautiful tour. The guides put in a lot of effort. The tour was also in German, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.
My trip to Tromsø was honestly one of those experiences that just sticks with you. This tour was fantastic. It never felt rushed or overly structured, just the right mix of exploring and enjoying the moment. Our guide was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely helpful the entire time, which made a big difference in the overall experience. You could tell she really cared about making sure everyone was having a great time. She also shared interesting insights along the way, including knowing when and where good places to take the best photos!!! We even got to see an old abandoned WWII bunker, which was such a unique and memorable stop. Already booking my next visit to Tromsø and I am DEFINITELY taking another tour with them!!!
The guide, Kirsten, was extremely nice and positive. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. We stopped at several stunning sites.
It all worked out great: Punctual departure directly from the hotel, a very good travel companion with lots of interesting information through Kirstin, also in German;-). All stops were well chosen and coordinated with the travelers. Especially the island of Sommaroy with its beaches was fascinating. There was also a small snack here. We highly recommend the tour.
A beautiful excursion at a more than reasonable price, especially considering the very high cost of activities in Tromsø. Kirstin was a fantastic guide, she took great pictures (downloadable from the agency website) and on the bus journeys she provided a lot of interesting information. Between wonderful views and great entertainment, the six hours flew by!
