Short and sweet audio tour. Perfect for our family with 2 teenagers who hate this sort of thing, and we definitely saw parts of the city we had not been to. We were all able to use the same login so only paid once for the 4 of us.

I would recommend doing this walking tour the first chance upon arrival in Tromsø. It would have truly helped to see where everything was from the start. We did it on our last day, but it was still interesting to hear a little bit more history than we had before. It was great that the tour automatically paused until you got to the next stop. Made it very convenient to get those photo opportunities, if we needed to go off the tour path for a few minutes.

This was a way to start off my Tromso visit. It was easy to use, I could go at my own pace, and it helped me get a feel for the area and stretch my legs.

A nice walk guided by a pleasant voice along the harbour and back via main road in centre. You get an imagine of what life has been here earlier and now, a tripp into history. architecture of the town and the people who are living here and their culture.

Once we mastered this app and downloaded the audio tour we thoroughly enjoyed being independent tourists.
Good clear info and history. Plus helpful accompanying map

The guide was informative however as with previous comments it is a very short walking tour and took 20 mins at most with stops for photos
