★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 92 reviews · from $62Our pick

Meet a local guide in Trondheim for a private two to six hour walking tour shaped around your interests. Start at your hotel or Airbnb, ask about food, transport, culture, and daily life, and get practical advice from guides such as Adrian, Rossana, or Ignacio.

“As she shared "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing." Was it chilly for our walk? Yes. It's February in Norway. I highly recommend doing a private tour because you can move slowly and they will be able to interpret and interact with locals when asking for info. It was entertaining, enlightening, and didn't focus on the things I could learn on the Internet.”

“The tour with Tammy was excellent. She met us at the port, even a bit early since the ship arrived early. She was clear about the itinerary and gave us much history and cultural information about Norway, Trondheim, and each site we visited. Tammy was very pleasant with a good sense of humor and responded to all of our questions. She also gave us a gift of Norwegian chocolate when we returned to the ship. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a very informative city tour of Trondheim.”

6.Discovery hike along the Trondheimsfjord

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $72

Walk 6 km along Trondheim’s Ladestien with guide Gaël or a colleague from Gaël & Maëlle Travel. Expect fjord views, beaches, WWII ruins, local history, and stories about plants, wildlife, politics, and Norwegian daily life. The one-way route takes about 2.5 hours.

“Diese Wanderung war ein totaler Ausgleich zu den sonst angebotenen Touren durch die City. Zusätzlich zur Natur wurden mir vom Guide Gaäl viele Erklärungen zu Trondheim, zur Geschichte in Trondheim und zum Leben an diesem norwegischen Gebiet gegeben. Eine völlig entspannte Tour mit interessanten Plätzen und alles in der Bewegung nah oder an der Küste. Wenn es passt, kann auch ein kurzer Stopp in einem alten Café eingelegt werden. Unbedingt zu empfehlen. Es ist keine Rundtour, aber Startpunkt und Endpunkt sind gut von der City aus mit der Bu- Linie 20 zu erreichen. Gerne wieder.”
