Per driver, due to miscommunication, there will be no tour guide so he had to be driver and tour guide.He tried his best but it felt like we were cheated out of a professional tour guide that we paid for.”

7.Norwegian Coastal Cities: Smartphone Audio Guide App

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 27 reviews · 365 days · from $35

Explore seven Norwegian coastal cities at your own pace with GPS audio guides covering art nouveau, Arctic history, and local sights.

“It is a very nice idea. I have to say beforehand, that we wanted to use it just for the city Tromsø so not for all the coastal cities. The main part of the audio was rather to get us to the next tour point as to tell us about the city (the audios were often times pretty short) so we haven‘t learned so much about the city or the monuments through this city tour but despite of that it was fun to walk through the city.”
