About Espen

I have worked odd shifts on the Fjellheisen cable car in the past, so the ride up Mount Storsteinen is where I still feel most at home on camera. My main session rides the car and films the view over Tromsøya and the surrounding fjords from the platform at the top. A second, calmer session circles Prestvannet, the lake near the centre where I point out the birdlife that gathers on the water through the darker months. I keep both sessions grounded in what the light is actually doing that day, since up here the light itself is half the story.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
