Romy was terrific . She was especially knowledgeable about Norwegian history and how the various areas we visited fit into the development of modern Oslo. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely perfect in every way. Wound up being just the four of us who booked the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and spent plenty of time at all stops and along the way explaining the area and history. A+

Great tour if you are short on time. Really enjoyed the back story of Norway and how it has come to be today. Loved visiting places that I may not have gone to without our clever guide and her in depth explanations of each site and it's special features and meanings.

Enthusiastic Oslo Walking Tour

Nicholas_R, Nov 2025

This Oslo City Walking Tour is a delightfully pleasant, highly informative, artistic, architectural, historically informative experience. The guide Ramy is energetic, warm, professional and well educated about Oslo's history and culture. I highly recommend this tour and am very pleased to have met Ramy and to have participated in this Oslo City Walking Tour. I suggest the extension tram ride with guide Ramy to see, walk and learn about Vigeland Park. Pamy's knowledge about the sculptor and his different masterpieces adds insight and appreciation for this uniquely amazing public park.

Roaming with Romy

Gloria_H, Oct 2025

The tour was fantastic. Romy was very knowledgeable and had an easy communication style. We did the added extra tour of Vigeland park and this made the tour exceptional. Romy's insights into the sculptures helped you think deeply about them.
