Admire nature around Tromso - The climate was not good, yet it was a very pleasant tour, with beautiful landscapes and lots of information with the efficient guide Samuel.

Great excursion - So pleased we did this trip. Anna was a great guide and adapted the route to suit the weather for us. The amount of local knowledge, the excitement of spotting reindeer all added to the perfection of the trip.

Wet and windy fjords for all - We had a wonderful day out touring the Fjords with Anna from The Green Adventure. She gave us an extensive history of Tromsø and the arctic which was a wonderful surprise addition to the tour. It was very wet and windy weather but that did not dampen the spirits. We walked into beautiful valleys, saw reindeer, walked on a sandy beach, and even tested out a frozen lake (it was not cold enough for us to walk on it this time). Highly recommend the tour for all who love nature and glacial valleys.

Excellent Tour Provider - We had an excellent experience on this tour. Our guide Samuel clearly has a passion for the history and landscape of the area and has exceptional people skills. I have some mobility issues and occasionally had some difficulty navigating the icy areas of the terrain. Samuel went out of his way to assist me and ensure that I was having a good experience. The scenery was beautiful and we were even lucky enough to see a reindeer on the side of the road as we returned to town. Highly recommended.

Superb driving on a very snowy day. - I wondered when I arrived if we would be able to go as Tromso was experiencing its heaviest snowfall for 16 years, but Anna our guide was a superb driver and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour as it took us to really out of the way places I would never have seen otherwise.
5 stars for the tour, and thank you again Anna for a superb day.

the most incredible views with insightful explanations! - Absolutely stunning views!! Every turn of the head was just continuous beautiful scenery. We had Kat, who was funny and friendly, and Samuel, who was incredibly informative and taught us so much about the history of some sites as well as some interesting facts about the different environments that we were in. The van was incredibly cramped but we were given sufficient time to get on/off so overall that was fine. Would definitely recommend this experience :)

Easy trip with lots of beauty - We did a Fjord Trip and a Northern Lights Chase on the same day with Green Adventure. They are very different experiences, and I would recommend both.
For the fjord trip, you are out during the daylight, so you really get to take in the natural beauty. We also saw reindeer and a moose. Our guide, Anna, was great and very knowledgeable.
The van was a bit tight and I ended up not being able to sit with my wife. That's my only complaint.
Highly recommend this trip with Green Adventure.

Stunning views of local fjords - This tour was a fantastic overview of local fjords. I had never seen a fjord before and was absolutely blown away by the scenery I witnessed today. My guide, Kat, was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She brought us to some excellent view points and let the guests go at their own pace with taking photos and observing the scenery. We were also lucky enough to see some harbor seals and reindeer at two of the viewpoints. I did this tour on the last day of a week-long stay in Tromsø and truly feel like I ended it on a high note.
The only reasons I gave this tour 4 stars are because the van was very cramped (I was arm-to-arm with another guest and against the wall the whole time) and lunch was not included like the itinerary states, so I would recommend eating a late breakfast or bringing a sandwich to eat on the drive back.

Great viewpoints,... - Great viewpoints, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Only thing which let it down was the mention of a "delicious lunch of Norwegian cuisine" on the main tour advert and we only had a small cinnamon roll and hot drink. A little misleading and tour participants may need to be more prepared.
