“Gaele was a great guide snd showed the highlights of Trondheim. I’d recommend. It was a small group and two were really late which pressured our time line but that’s not Garle’s fault. Maybe instructions for late arrivals to meet at the first stop on the tour.”

Guides such as Toreill, Lana, and Paulo have led this tour, which runs in English and returns to the starting point.

“A walk through Trondheim that likely explored areas we would never have gotten to on our own. However the tour was just average. Unless you stood next to the guide, and kept up with him when walking about, your wouldn't know what he was saying. No audio and no flag to see where he was. He didn't wait for all of us to catch up before talking. I finally gave up and no longer tried. Can't say I'd recommend.”
