Nice to hear the history of Oslo and see important sites. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes.

Nice Walking Tour

Amanda_V, Nov 2022

Very nice walking tour. We got to see parts we hadn't ventured to and learned a lot of history. Our guide was friendly.

Please get a microphone !

Maria_B, Jul 2022

Large group and guide didn’t have a microphone. It was hard to keep up with the explanations. Everything else was fine . Guide seemed knowledgeable and she went straight to the explanation, no chit chatting. Covered all main sights. Guide didn’t welcome questions very much …

Oslo - city tour

Andy_B, Dec 2021

Amazing! Our tour guide was AMAZING, her name was Krisi/Crisi and she was an Oslo girl. She spoke perfect English, full of fun factual information and brought the city to life! 5* for everything and highly recommend!!!
