Everything is incredible! Maria Jose and Juan are charming, we have taken a thousand photos, pulled a sled and met some beautiful huskies. We have visited different spectacular points, the tour enlivened by telling us details of the area and in Sommaroy they have left us free time for photos and visiting a local bar. Without a doubt, the best experience of these days. Congratulations couple! We will see each other again, for sure :)

An unforgettable excursion that, with the local knowledge and friendliness of our guide María José, was an authentic experience of how the locals live in this area - outside of the tourism of Tromsø. I recommend it 100%.

The landscapes are spectacular. I loved Sommaroy beach. Our driver-guide Juan was available, attentive to our people, pleasant and prepared. I'm happy with how the excursion went and with everything we saw and did.

Worth it. The guide is funny and knowledgeable. He can also take good pictures. Overall the experience is good! Highly recommended!

The whole tour with Juan & Maria was excellent with beautiful scenery taking us to some lovely photo spots
