With our walking tours, you get to spend less time on generic historical tours and more time exploring the city from a local’s viewpoint. Experience a tour that adjusts the way you travel, focusing equally on the interactions with locals as on the sights you witness. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are devoted enthusiasts of their city, keen on sharing their in-depth knowledge and unique perspective.

By the conclusion of the tour, you’ll feel at ease getting around the city and be confident that you have all the essential information you require for a fulfilling stay.

Fantastic city tour with perspective of a local - Our guide was Benjamin, and he was wonderful. We had a lovely walking tour through the scenic streets and up to a beautiful park. We appreciate that he gave his perspective of living there, a long with some history.

See it like a native - Adrianna was fantastic. We really enjoyed our tour. Interesting perspective from someone who is local and not a professional tour guide.

Adrian Wolf is a great guide in Trondheim - Adrian Wolf gave us a great tour of Trondheim. We were pleasantly educated and very entertained with stories of the city and its locals with a sideview to the fascinating details. All in great English .

Trondheim is a hidden Jewel! - I thought Trondheim would be a boring industrial port - WRONG! It is an amazing town - full of color, culture, amazing views, a beautiful cathedral, canals, modern buildings, festivals - so, so much. And the food!!! It is definitely a foodie's paradise. So many options - from so many cultures. I walked all over, and still needed to do more to see everything, but my feet were pooped. You can easily walk from the cruise port to the Cathedral - just give yourself time to find treasures along the way. And then wander back on a different route, and see the painted buildings along the canal - awesome views.
One interesting thing - really hard to find an ATM on a Sunday - they were inside the bank foyer, and you needed a code (not just an ATM card) to get in. Fortunately, was able to do everything by card. But had to tip in American $$ because of no access to Norwegian kr.

Customized Trondheim - Adrian was fun knowledgeable and went the extra mile to research an historic family connection. He was well prepared, fun, and gave us lots of insight into Trondheim the people and the culture.
Very good guide!

Great way to learn about the city in 1 day - Carmen was an absolutely fabulous tour guide. We walked all over the heart of Trondheim and learned more in 3 hours than we could have hoped. She was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. The only hiccup we had is the booking company got us confused and we were waiting for her in a different location than she thought. She was very quick to accommodate us and meet us where we were.

Not a great way to treat your customers! - We were on a cruise and Trondheim was a port of call. Rather than book tours offered through the ship, we decided to book with a local, smaller company for a more personal experience. Unfortunately, the day before we were to arrive in Trondheim the seas were too rough to allow the ship to dock at the port the next day and we had to cancel our booked tour. Previously, while we were on the cruise, the tour company had asked us via email to change the time of the tour. Although that was not convenient to us at all, we tried to be agreeable and had agree to change the time to accommodate them. Despite our prior reasonable attitude, when we notified the tour company and Viator of our inability to participate in the tour, and even though we were almost 24 hours before the tour time, we were refused a refund of any of our payment. Both the local tour operator and Viator stated that since it was within 24 hours of our tour, even though they were "sympathetic" with our dilemma, no satisfaction would be provided. We would never book with the local company, Lokafy again and suggest booking with the cruise ship provided tours as if this happens they offer 100% refund at all times, as they did for other tours that required cancellation. Sometimes things happen that are out of control and compassion and understanding should be provided. (We did ask the operator to offer a 50% refund and even this was denied).
