Amusing super trip - This trip was pleasantly entertaining, you got all the important information and the guide told everything fluently in German and English. The bus was super air conditioned, up to date and the driver was also very nice. Through this excursion you have seen the most important first by bus and then by foot already Trondheim.

Lana was a great tour... - Lana was a great tour guide. Although not a local, she had lots of interesting information about Trondheim. Weather was not the best in the morning so I was glad the walking part was not in the rain. The bus took you to further away sites and then the walk was in the city center. It would have been nice to have the same tour but 5 minutes longer at the catherderal with an option to buy the inside ticket as part of the tour.

GREAT OVERVIEW OF TRONDHEIM - The directions we had received to the meeting point for this tour were very clear and easy to follow, especially as we were embarking straight from the docked cruise ship. Our guide Vanessa, though not a native Norwegian, was extremely knowledgeable about both the city of Trondheim and Norway as a whole...no question or query seemed to be too much trouble and her delivery of the information was very engaging. She was always very clear on the schedule for the tour and the return times to the bus. The walking portion of the tour was on an easy route from the Cathedral, through the city and back to the port, and was very well paced for most physical abilities. We visited a lookout point at Sverresli utsikt, Kristiansten Fortress & the outside of Nidaros Cathedral on the bus part of the tour then walked slowly to the Nidelva River to the Old Town Bridge & the iconic colourful historic wharves, walking through both older & more modern parts of the city stopping at Stiftsgarden Palace & then finally back to the cruise terminal. You may have the opportunity to return to the Cathedral on your own after the tour to look inside as the entry for that was not included in the tour...unfortunately a sudden turn in the weather made this not a great option for us.

Great Tour! - We had an excellent tour of Trondheim with Vanessa. The bus took us to the vista places to overlook the city and then we were dropped off at the cathedral for the walking part of the tour. Vanessa is very knowledgeable about Trondheim and she gave interesting talks at each place that we stopped. We would definitely book this again.

Not very exciting - Bus was very comfortable and the bis driver was highly competent. The tour, however, seemed rather lethargic. Our guide Lena did her best, but she is quite inexperienced and spoke with a very soft and inaudible voice which turned out to be somewhat soporific.

The tour was okay. Next... - The tour was okay. Next time I would probably rather go with Hop In and Out tour. Our guide in the bus Theresa was absolutely unprofessional. She had no idea how to guide a tour. And she had minimal knowledge and was silent about 50% of the time. Fortunately, the bus group was split in two for the city walk tour, and we joined another guide, who was very knowledgeable and a good guide in general. So, my rating is 3 as average between 1 and 5.

Nice visit but mini bus not suitable - Very good guide but no sound system (microphone) on the bus so very difficult to hear the comments. Minibus at full capacity so not much space and comfort. The walk section was very good.

Improvisation - Meeting point showed wrong Pirbadet partink lot at 450 m. it was at 4,5 m., said you see a bus, but the bus was out of sight hidden in a corner. The tour is only for Germans, completly unbalanced fron German to English, 20 minutes in German/ 3 minutes in English. The guide was listening the explanation of Nidaros Cathedral from a note-book, I coul read the same text (and in Italian) by myself, no professionality at all, extemporisation extreme, extreme kind, in truth, they tried do their best but they weren't up to the task.
