A nice little tour!
My three friends and I have a nice sampling of treats on this tour. Initially it felt like there wasn’t much to sample, given that we cut macaroons up to share. We had a good sampling of chocolates for ourselves, at another shop. At our last stop, we had a full slice of cake of our choice and a coffee drink, with a good long rest to savor them and chat with the other members of our group. This was an easy, laid back tour that did not require a lot of walking… just some.
Response from the operator: Hi Yvette! Thank you for joining our Tromsø’s Sweet Temptations tour. It was a pleasure to host you all. We have learned from experience that if the samples at the first two cafes are too big, our guests don't have space for the Norwegian style afternoon tea. That was in fact the case with one in your group. The reason we cut up the macaroon samples is so our guests can try more flavours without getting too full. The samples, Norwegian style afternoon tea and handcrafted chocolates are part of the experience along with a city walk, sightseeing, storytelling and socialising. It was also nice to meet up again today at the Arctic Cathedral. Safe travels and best wishes, Gavin / OK Tromsø

Lovely sweets and treats
Oda and her husband Gavin were very accommodating and Oda toured us around town to wonderful coffee and treat places - she was very informative about her town
Response from the operator: Thank you to you both for agreeing to swap tour when the time did not suit for your first choice. It was a pleasure to meet you and to share stories, sweets and laughter together. We are very happy that you also enjoyed the places we visited. Wishing you all the best. Arctic greetings Oda, OK Tromsø

Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea?
+
Included: Sweet samples; Confectioner's cake & hot drink; Spikes (when icy) and reflectors (autumn and winter); Handmade chocolate; and Local English and Norwegian speaking host. Not included: Warm clothes and shoes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea?
+
Tromsø Cathedral in Tromsø city centre Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tromsø Sweet Temptations with Afternoon Tea?
+
