We had this tour scheduled and many other tours had canceled us due to weather conditions. Thankfully they didn't. Even though it was rainy and windy all day, our guide Evgeni was able to improvise a scenic route that was very enjoyable. He was very easy to talk to and had lots of interesting stories about the places we visited in the Kvaloya area and Tromso. He took nice pictures of all of us and was timely sending them to us.
