About

Via di Bella means "the beautiful road" – a name that perfectly reflects our philosophy. Inspired by the relaxed Italian way of life and combined with German precision and organization, we create unforgettable travel experiences that are both effortless and exceptionally well planned.

Based in Tromsø, Norway, Via di Bella specializes in small-group Arctic adventures, Northern Lights tours, fjord sightseeing, private tours, shore excursions for cruise passengers, and multi-day journeys across some of Norway's most spectacular landscapes. Every tour is carefully designed to help you experience as much as possible within a comfortable timeframe—without ever feeling rushed.

Unlike large tour operators, we deliberately keep our groups small. This allows us to remain flexible, spend more time at beautiful locations, adjust our routes to changing weather conditions and create a much more personal experience for every guest. Whether you're joining one of our scheduled tours or booking a completely customized private adventure, we tailor every experience to our guests whenever possible.

Designed by People Who Know Cruise Guests

Many members of our team previously worked aboard international cruise ships and understand exactly what cruise passengers expect: punctuality, clear communication and unforgettable shore excursions that fit perfectly into a ship's schedule. That's why we offer a wide range of shore excursions from Tromsø, with reliable pickup and guaranteed return in time for your cruise departure.

Local Guides with International Experience

Most of our guides are native German speakers and conduct tours fluently in both German and English. To enhance your experience, many of our tours also include multilingual audio guides, allowing you to learn fascinating stories about Norway's history, culture, wildlife and breathtaking landscapes while enjoying the scenery. At the same time, your guide remains available throughout the tour to answer questions and share personal recommendations.

 

Quality That Guests Trust

 

Guest satisfaction is our highest priority. We are proud to maintain a 4.8-star rating on GetYourGuide based on more than 120 verified reviews, reflecting our commitment to outstanding service, small groups and unforgettable experiences. Every review motivates us to continuously improve and deliver the highest possible quality.

 

Private Tours & Maximum Flexibility

As a locally owned company, we can offer something that many larger operators cannot: true flexibility. Looking for a custom itinerary? Want to spend longer at a scenic viewpoint? Planning a family trip, photography tour or exclusive private excursion? We'll be happy to create a personalized experience designed around your interests.

 

Discover More of Norway

 

While Tromsø is our home, our tours extend far beyond the city. We also operate in the Lofoten Islands, North Cape, Harstad and Bodø, giving visitors the opportunity to discover some of Northern Norway's most iconic destinations with the same personal service and attention to detail.

Beginning in 2027, Via di Bella will also expand to Bergen, Ålesund and Stavanger, bringing our unique combination of Italian hospitality, German organization and authentic Norwegian experiences to even more of the country's most beautiful regions.

Whether you're searching for the best Northern Lights tour in Tromsø, an unforgettable fjord tour, a customized private tour in Norway, or a perfectly organized cruise shore excursion, we look forward to welcoming you.

Via di Bella – Italian ease. German organization. The beautiful road through Norway.

Paparazzi Tour

All tours start at Fr Nansen Pl 1, 9008 Tromso and all tours have to be paid by card at the van. Please write us an email to reserve your spot.

 

Experience the most spectacular fjords and Arctic scenery around Tromsø on the Paparazzi Tour – perfect for those who want to see as much as possible in a short time.

Instead of hour-long journeys or long breaks, this tour focuses on the essentials: impressive nature, varied photo spots, and maximum landscape diversity in just 3.5 hours.

We cruise along dramatic fjords, past mountains, small fishing villages, and hidden vantage points. Along the way, we stop at the most beautiful places for photos, including the famous Ersfjord and other spectacular spots along the coast.

The highlight of the tour is Sommarøy – known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise water and a unique Arctic island setting. Here you'll have time to enjoy the surroundings, take photos, and experience the special atmosphere of Northern Norway.

With a bit of luck, we might even encounter reindeer in the wild along the way.

The Paparazzi Tour is ideal for cruise guests, photographers, and travelers with limited time who still want to experience as much of the Arctic nature as possible – quickly, intensively, and without unnecessary waiting times.

Tromsø: 3-hour Northern Lights Tour –  small group (8 people)

If you only have one night in Tromsø and want to see the Northern Lights, take this tour.

3-Hour Northern Lights Tour – Your fastest chance to see the aurora

Most Northern Lights tours last 6–8 hours.
Not this one.

This tour has only one goal: to get you under clear skies as quickly as possible and maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights.

In Tromsø, we have a decisive advantage: fjords and changing microclimates. While others drive for hours, a targeted, short route is often enough to find better conditions – without unnecessary long drives or trips to Finland.

Our guides track the weather in real time and make new decisions every night.
No fixed itinerary. No standard program. Only the goal counts.

As soon as the northern lights appear, we react immediately. We stop, help you with photos, and make sure you really experience the moment – not miss it.

Why this tour works:

Maximum chances in just 3 hours
No time wasted on unnecessarily long drives
Flexible routes based on live weather data
Free pickup at the cruise ship
Photo support included

Ideal for you if you:

have limited time in Tromsø
don't want to go on a 6–8-hour tour
are still looking for a real chance to see the Northern Lights

Important: Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. Providers who claim otherwise are not reputable.
What we do: We do our utmost every night to get you to the right place at the right time.

No massive tours.
We deliberately work with small groups so that we can react quickly and reach the best spots.

Sommaroy Midnight Sun

Experience the magic of the midnight sun around Tromsø – far away from large groups and crowded buses.

On this 4-hour tour, you will travel through some of the most beautiful fjords in northern Norway in a small group of no more than 8 people. While the sun itself remains in the sky in the middle of the night, unique lighting effects are created that make this landscape even more impressive.

We will take you specifically to the best vantage points – with several photo stops at spectacular locations. Thanks to the small van, we are flexible and can spontaneously go to the best spots, depending on the weather and light.

This tour is perfect if you:

want to experience the midnight sun intensely
want to take stunning photos
are looking for a personal, relaxed atmosphere
want to see more than you would on a classic bus tour

Special add-on:
Free pick-up directly from your cruise ship in Tromsø – perfect for stress-free shore excursions.

Experience the Arctic summer as it should be: peaceful, authentic and unforgettable.

Sommaroy Standup Paddleboarding

Experience the Arctic nature around Tromsø in a completely new way. We start downtown and ride together through spectacular fjord landscapes to Sommarøy – one of the most beautiful places in northern Norway.

There, crystal-clear, shallow water with Caribbean colors awaits you in the middle of the Arctic. After a short briefing, you'll actively explore the surroundings: glide along in a relaxed manner on a stand-up paddleboard.

The small group size ensures an intimate atmosphere and plenty of time to try both things to do at your leisure. In between, there will be plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the unique landscape.

This tour is perfect for beginners and combines nature, things to do, and unforgettable views – far away from mass tourism.
