“Fabulous tour, you get to see so much of the city which otherwise would take you days to explore. Raseel our beautiful guide was super kind and patient teaching us how to balance and manage the segway. The ride itself is super fun! Big thanks to Mikkel who has been incredibly kind to reschedule our tour when our flight was canceled and we couldn't make it on time, we really appreciate that Mikkel! Highly Recommend.”

“The trip was so beautiful. The guides were so friendly and funny. We had the best time and saw Tromso from the water and it was such a unique vantage point. Also the ship was GORGEOUS. Very worth the money. Would book again! 100/10 thank you to the captain & staff for such a lovely memory!”

All in all, a cool experience and we would have loved to ride for longer!”
