A great frustration with VIATOR
I can say very few words aboutcthe experienco because the activity was cancelled the they before because there were no enough people interested in it. I understand that everything is business but, maybe, you should think that you can compensate the time you have more customers than mininum with those when you have less customers. It would be necessary to ensure customers' satisfaction. If you don't do so, all the system of tours reservations may disappear.
Operator response
Hello Alberto,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We understand your disappointment caused by the cancelled tour and appreciate the opportunity to provide some context.
We reached out several times via email and WhatsApp in the days leading up to your scheduled tour, to explore the possibility of rescheduling or offering an alternative. As we didn’t hear back from you, we were unfortunately not able to proceed with any changes.
As a small-group experience, the tour requires a minimum of three participants to operate. This is clearly stated on all our booking platforms and helps us ensure the experience remains both environmentally and economically sustainable. That said, we always aim to accommodate our guests as best we can, which is why we reach out proactively when numbers are low. We also ask guests to keep an eye on their email and phone before the tour in case any important updates arise.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future.

The perfect end to an incredible trip!
This tour ended up being the highlight of our incredible time in Tromsø. Ellie and Jenna were just fabulous in making sure all the guests were comfortable. I booked this tour as soon as I had planned my holiday and knew the one I didn't want to miss was a chance to enjoy an incredible sunset, and I'm so glad I booked with the Wandering Owl. They made the whole trip wonderfully memorable, from the views to the food to the conversation and the drive - everything was impeccable, with Ellie and Jenna as the perfect hosts. Thank you for everything, including the excellent photos you guys took!

Surreal experience!
The guides made every effort to make it an enjoyable experience. Had the experience of a campfire and barbecue on the beach. It was a very suitable distance to travel and location perfect for seeing the sun above the horizon at midnight. We had a beautiful sunny evening and the pictures and experience was amazing.
We also stopped to photograph reindeer at 01.00 in the morning on the way back!

Midnight Sun by the Campfire!
I recently embarked on the Midnight Sun Campfire Tour from Tromsø with Wandering Owl Tours. Our hosts, Ellie and Evgeni, were informative, genial and professional. Pick up for our small group tour (7 guests) was on time and easy for the drive out to a beach where they cooked us dinner over the campfire and taught us how to bake our own bread as we watched the midnight sun not set! Fabulous night, awesome setting, beautiful experience! Not on the itinerary, but very much appreciated, was when Ellie pulled over after spotting reindeer on the way home so we could jump out and take some pics. I can highly recommend this tour!
Operator response

Beautiful sand beach with fabulous views of the mountains and sea.
Anthony, our guide , was friendly and knowledgeable about Norway and the Tromso area in particular. He was very engaging and did a fine job. The site we visited for our campfire was a very beautiful sand beach with fabulous views. Three reindeer were even taking a respite on beach while we were there. Would highly recommend this tour.
