We had such a great time. Ivan was a wonderful guide, and each place he took us to was unique and special. What was the most remarkable was the beer sampling we did at Roor. We sampled 4 different Norwegian beers as the co-owner of Roor gave us in depth explanations of the beers ingredients and brewing process. This was by far the best and most in-depth beer tasting I have ever done!

Beer and history

Elizabeth_D, Aug 2026

Great fun and interesting tour. Shaf was really knowledgable about the area and introduced us to Oslo. Highly recommend

This was a wonderful...

kym_g, May 2026

This was a wonderful tour, incorporating delicious food, great drinks and a fabulous tour guide, Shaf. It was just my husband and myself on the tour that night, so it was a bonus. Shaf was so knowledgeable about the history of Oslo and Norway We enjoyed listening to information and stories that he shared, as we walked along the city streets. He engaged us in conversation and also made an effort to learn about our beer preferences, which led to a great flight of beers at our last stop on the tour. We enjoyed our time at the restaurant, bar and brewery very much. This tour and our time with Shaf was a highlight of our trip!

Much More Than a Beer Tour

Zena_M, May 2026

The walk to dinner was relaxed and educational. I felt learning about the beer was a window into the history and geography of Norway. The highlight of the tour was a curated beer tasting that challenged what I thought I liked and didn’t like about certain types of beer. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun experience !

Ivan was great … lots of knowledge and fun tastings! Dinner of your choice with beer started the tour off right and the evening got better with Akuavit and Beer Tastings ! Fun Night !

Great Food and Beer tour.

Brenda_B, Sep 2025

Shaf was an awesome guide - extremely knowledgeable about Oslo, Norway, food, akvavit, and beer. We had a great time and learned a lot about Norwegian history and culture.

Great Experience for Beer Lovers & Those Not Certain They Like Beer!

Bart_E, Sep 2025

Our guide was an excellent leader on our adventures around Oslo! He shared the history of the buildings we passed, as well as some of the history of the City and the different foods we ate. He was very knowledgeable about beer as well, and although I am not particularly fond of beer, I enjoyed EVERY sip of the beverages chosen to suit us! This was a fabulous tour!! (forgive my memory but I believe our Guide was "Shem" or something close to that - apologies for any errors)

Great trip through the city with fantastic beers

Peter_H, Aug 2025

We went to 3 unique places and all of them different in their own way and brought a special view of Oslo. We had 5 total people on the tour which was fantastic and made it easy to ask questions and feel included. The first pub we had a sandwich as mentioned, which is a full meal and a great way to start. The final bar, Roor, we were greeted by one of the owners who talked us through the 4 very different beers we were trying and explained in detail why they were selected and why they were unique to Norway. I've been on other tours in other countries and typically you try pilsners and lagers, but here we had sours, stouts, and everything else along with explanations of how they came about in Norway and it was fantastic. Highly recommend if looking for good places to drink around Oslo.

A can’t miss experience!

The whole family loved...

David_V, Aug 2025

The whole family loved this tour. Shaf was very knowledgeable about Oslo’s and the greater Scandinavian history, and of course knew his beer! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore the beer scene in Oslo or those who just want to enjoy a fantastic evening.

Beer + Food + Local History = Winner!!

Renee_O, Jun 2025

This was a fantastic way to taste local beer and food, and learn some great local history as we walked the picturesque streets of Oslo. Shaf was an amazing guide!! The beer flight at ROOR to finish the tour was delicious, and the perfect way to end the tour. Thank you for a fun afternoon!

A Toast to Oslo

Maureen_M, Feb 2025

An easy going outing for some basics of the area. Shaf was a great guide, he brought us to some good local places and gave us the overviews we needed to get the full experience. The idea behind it is a local's night out, and you fully get that feel.
