Easy to follow with a hilarious comment when you “wander” off. - I especially appreciated the transcript to clarify what I hear when the guide’s accent came through.

Gabriela - Great tour around Trondheim, beautifully narrated and visiting well select landmarks. You can choose your pace, pause and resume at your convenience. Enjoyed very much. Fully recommended.

Well-orchestrated self-guided Tour of Trondheim - Excellent self guided tour of Trondheim's highlights. Instructions were clear, and interesting. A bonus was that the written transcript of this tour could be downloaded to your phone before your trip, thus eliminating the need for a wifi-connection to use this app. I wish that all the other Voice Map Tours had this feature!

Really nice little guide for a morning - I had a free morning in Trondheim and decided to use this guide. Really useful, really well laid out and takes you around all of the main locations at your own pace, adding lots of detail to the city as you're walking around it. Didn't take much longer than an hour but I didn't go in to the Cathedral or anything which I'm sure would extend the time!

Brilliant for short stops in port and for anyone new to the area. - Good introductory tour for someone new to Trondheim, and for guests on Havila or Hurtigruten voyages. This tour gives an introduction to the city, its history, people, activities and culture. It shows you places you could chose to visit another time, helps you get your bearings in the City centre and fits perfectly into the stopover for the northbound leg of a coastal voyage. If you've not used the app before, allow time beforehand to download it. We only had WiFi on the boat so downloaded both the app and the tour the evening before, and it worked really well the next morning. Based on this tour, I will look to do other tours similar to this.

Self guided tour of Trondheim - An excellent way to see all the sites at your own pace and being able to take little detours to look at things in more detail

Was a very good,... - Was a very good, informative tour once we were able to locate the starting point. The app provides a link to directions to the starting point, however, it was not an automatic start of the tour like it indicates. We had to force the start once we were in the "general location" of the starting point.
