We loved our tour with Eden! It really fits the description - tucked away treats and history in Oslo that you would never stumble upon otherwise, and while still in Oslo it was nice to have a few quieter hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. We had excellent food and felt the walking amount was very reasonable. Key to know that the tour ends about 25-30 minute walk from where it starts, so either just prepare for that ahead of time or plan to catch the tram back into town! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

We had a wonderful guide, Selia who was very knowledgeable about the city, and took us to several eating places to sample a variety of local foods. All excellent. We were a small group of 4, so easy to hear, and learn about the others. Ther is about 3 miles of walking with stops along the way, and some hills. All in all, a wonderful tour.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this walking food tour of Oslo. We sampled some delicious food and visited some noteworthy spots of the city. While walking, our guide, Sjur, shared with us some of the little known facts about Oslo and its people. I would highly recommend this tour to experience Oslo in a different way.
A great way to experience a sampling of what the city of Oslo has to offer. The 3 food stops were delicious! First stop offered a very tasty fish soup. Next stop was a combination platter of fish and moose sausage sliced thinly along with local bakery bread. All locally sourced farm products. Last stop we had a delightful waffle with just the right amount of sweet taste. Our guide Annie also took us on a somewhat rigorous walk through the city to explore different areas where people lived and went to school. She was well informed and had a great sense of humor to make the tour an enjoyable experience.
We have a very lovely tour guide, my husband and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended tour to take if 1st time visiting Oslo.
The tour Sunday afternoon with Anni was delightful, and felt special as only another participant and I were present. The three samplings of Norwegian food were delicious, and the venues eclectic and fun. Anni shared a great deal of history and information during our 3 hours together.
I would strongly recommend Anni and this tour to anyone
Great overview of traditional foods of Norway. Nice walk with historical commentary. Learned a lot and food was great. Annie was funny and a wealth of information. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Lots of walking but Sjur did a great job. We learned a lot about the history of Oslo and Norway and sampled some great food!
This was a very fun tour. We had two tour guides and a group of about seven people, which allowed each tour guide to interact with all the guests individually throughout the tour.
The meeting point was very easy to find, we stopped at three different food spots and walked around parts of the city that were off the beaten path. We went through the art district, saw historic buildings and churches as well as several small parks where locals hang out. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and the food was fresh and delicious!
Great tour to see areas outside of the main tourist areas! The food was all really good and our tour guide was amazing!
Great way to see and hear about Oslo other than what tourist sites tell you. Great tastings of local food too. Loved moose salami! Annie was terrific with her stories and insights of Oslo’s and Norway’s cultures. Great choices of food venues too. Would have liked a coffee cafe as hear so much about them so for me that would have made the fifth star. Otherwise terrific and worthwhile tour.
If you're considering this tour, have the ability to walk about 2.5 miles in total, and want to have an experience off the beaten path, just do it. This was a wonderful tour! It was separated into three segments. A short walk, a long walk with about 3 or 4 steep hills, and another short walk. I'm not in great shape but I managed and, although I was often in the back, I never felt left behind or that I needed to rest more than everyone else. Our guide naturally stopped at many places along the walks to tell us stories and history that only the locals would know. My favorite was walking by the community garden because it smelled so good and was beautiful! The food places were quite tasty and it was neat to hear the history behind the food. There were a couple people with us that weren't fans of fish but still had enough to nibble on. The fact that the group is kept small provided space for some fun conversations while walking and at the food spots.
This tour seemed to be a big highlight for everyone in my group's Oslo adventures. I highly recommend it.
The tour involves a fair amount of walking but is a wonderful way to see Oslo more like a resident than a tourist. Our tour guide Idunn was very informative and fun to spend an afternoon with.
Idunn was a delightful guide - charming, knowledgeable and helpful, and speaks great English. We learnt all sorts of interesting facts, and the Norwegian food we tasted was fabulous.
Highly recommend.
Well worthwhile- shows you parts of the city you may miss. The guide added a lot of interesting facts and history to the city. She picked real interesting restaurants.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us off the beaten path. A lot of hidden gems. The food tasting was fantastic.
We loved our Oslo Hidden Gems and Food Tour with Idunn. She was friendly, approachable, funny and just lovely. Besides that she was knowledgeable and we learned so many interesting things about the city. It was lots of walking which we enjoyed and were able to get a feel for the city - even in cold winter weather. The fish soup was abslutely delicious, the lunch gave us a taste of a good variety of fresh Norwegian food, and the waffle and brown cheese was the perfect warm ending for a wonderful tour. Thank you Idunn and Oslo Nature! Paige & Dave Kerr
Lovely walk around Oslo with tasty meals. Guide was a good historian with lots of facts and stories about Oslo and general Norwegian culture.
Annie was a fabulous, knowledgeable guide. The itinerary was a perfect blend of walking the backstreets of Oslo and delicious food. Would highly recommend this excursion! Tassen Tack Annie, well done!!
Having done a few tours I would have appreciated a bit more about the food culture of Noway. That said it was a good tour. Knowledgeable and lovely guide and great food stops
Our family loved the experience. Annie took us to places that we would never have discovered otherwise. Bring water with you and wear comfy walking shoes as there will be some incline hills. It was the perfect number of people, and Annie is very engaging, easy to chat with and knows a lot about her food.
As we went in winter during Christmas holiday, we had our lunch sitting around fire pit grilling sausages looking over the fjord. Lovely experience all in all.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very personable. It was nice to see areas other than the touristy places. Food was great!
Good sampling of higher end restaurants that locals choose mixed with history of their neighborhoods.
Idum was amazing - so fun to be with a local who knows where to go, all the inside scoop! Great blend of walking and insights!
We had an amazing time on the tour with Idunn. She was extremely knowledge and able to answer all of our questions about Oslo & Norway in general. The tour was a great chance to try some delicious Norwegian foods and explore parts of the city that most tourists won't see.
We loved this tour. Idun, our tour guide, has a great deal of knowledge about Oslo and she has a warm and delightful personality. She took us to off-the-beaten path places that we never would have found on our own or even known to have visited otherwise. We enjoyed everything we saw and learned and tasted! The food was authentic and delicious!
Good amount of walking, so be prepared. But nothing crazy. You see cool neighborhoods and scenes you might not otherwise see on your own or on more mainstream tours. Well paced as far as food spacing. High quality food, meal portions, and nice venues. My recommendation would be to do a mainstream tour of the major Oslo spots, or go on your own, see the museums, and then do this tour. Our tour guide Margarita, definitely depended my understanding of Norwegian culture which was helpful after seeing the highlights.
Fun walk around neighborhoods in Oslo, with some good food stops along the way. Our guide was informative and interesting.
What a great way to get to know Oslo! Idunn is knowledgeable and so much fun. The combination of gems and food worked well. Book it!
Very informative tour with great food to go with it. We were able to visit places I'm sure we would not have otherwise seen and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Margarita was a knowledgeable guide and the food was excellent! Good mix of seeing Oslo, learning about history (old and more recent) and having breaks while enjoying local food & drink!
