Neil was great, friendly...

Peter_M, Feb 2026

Neil was great, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw all the central sights in 4 hours. We were able to customize our tour.

Great walking tour of Oslo

Robyn_C, Nov 2025

Neil is a great guide. The two hour walking tour was informative and covered much of Oslo’s main city area and features. His knowledge of history was excellent and his anecdotes were very entertaining. He pointed out museums and other places to visit as well as some good shopping and places to eat. Great introduction to Oslo and Norway.

You can do a better job by yourself

Aura_d, Sep 2025

Not worth the money or time. Amelia was late for the tour and didn’t know about the history or architecture in Oslo. She didn’t seem to have a plan of where to go or any information about the surroundings. She didn’t know the answers to any of the questions we asked.

Oslo with Efe Excellent

Chloe_D, Sep 2025

Our guide Efe personalized the tour to meet our interests. He also set the pace of the tour to our pace. He offered recommendations for food and sites outside the tour . His conversation was informative but definitely not a memorized recitation. We could hear his enthusiasm for the areas we visited and the history and culture of Oslo. He gave us a wonderful view of the city!!

Satisfied

Dan_W, Sep 2025

Our walking tour of central Oslo offered a pleasant introduction to the city’s key sights—the Royal Palace, Parliament, the bustling harborfront, and the sculpture-filled parks. The route was comfortable and easy to follow, giving us a broad overview of the capital in a few relaxed hours. That said, the experience felt fairly standard. The guide provided the basic facts, but the narrative rarely ventured beyond what you might read in a pocket guide. I found myself wishing for a deeper sense of Oslo’s beginnings: how a small medieval settlement became today’s modern Nordic capital. Early photographs or historical maps—something to help us picture the wooden wharf-side town that once stood here—would have brought the city’s past vividly to life.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Dan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the walk and overview of Oslo’s key sights, but we’re sorry the tour did not provide the deeper historical context you were hoping for. At Guydeez, we aim to deliver engaging and memorable experiences beyond the basics. We’ve already contacted you via email to follow up directly and appreciate your comments as we work to improve. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

Oslo

Yolanda_M, Aug 2025

Rodrigo was an excellent guide. Respectful, friendly and answered all our questions and although we did a tour of more than 13,000 steps time flew and we learned a lot from Oslo. I recommend it 100%

Efe is friendly and great company for a walk around the city

Richard_T, Aug 2025

This is a two hour walk around the main sites of Oslo with some commentary. Be prepared for a continuous walk.

Waking in Oslo

Louis_R, Aug 2025

Wonderful young man (Efe) took me to so many wonderful locations in Oslo. I had arrived the previous day, so I’d already been to the well known locations. Efe took to places I would never have found. I highly recommend

An enjoyable insight into...

richard_f, Jul 2025

An enjoyable insight into the history of Oslo and what it is like to live in the city. Our guide Ihor was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Twenty thousand steps!

Laura_B, Jul 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Madhavan. He was very knowledgeable about Oslo, government and history. We’re from the US, and we had fun comparing cultures and stories. While Madhavan suggested it was fine to take the tram, we preferred to walk. 20,000 steps later. We were tired but had learned so much! Well done, Madhavan!

Very pleasant guide.

Valerie_S, Jul 2025

See all major tourist sites in Oslo. As private tour your can choose what you see. Very pleasant guide. Nothing too much trouble.

Great tour!

Phil_L, Jul 2025

Neil was great. He made it fun and interesting for all of the different ages in our group including grandkids.

Wonderful experience

Thomas_J, Jul 2025

Neil was wonderful and gave us a terrific tour which included many stories. He used his acting talent to tell stories and history of the city, country, architecture and present day Oslo.

Liga is beautiful and intelligent. She was enthusiastic and welcoming. We crammed a lot into three hours, and she was very gracious about going a bit over. I highly recommend her! It was just me, and was amazing!

Great tour with Liga!

Heather_H, Jun 2025

We had such a great tour with Liga. She taught us a lot about the history of Oslo and her life here in Norway. She gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time in Oslo. Highly recommend this tour. Best to you, Liga. - The twins from California ❤️

It was an excellent tour!...

Patricia_R, May 2025

It was an excellent tour! Neil was our guide and very flexible and knowledgeable about all things Oslo. He was most adaptable to us slow walkers and very attentive.

Perfect intro to a lovely city!

Julie_H, May 2025

We were so happy to tour the city with Liga. We wanted to meet a local to see things a bit outside the center, and she put together a perfect itinerary. We had great weather so we walked, took the bus/tram, ate/drank a bit. Was just what we wanted for our first afternoon in the city. She was fun, knowledgeable, generous with her time. Highly recommend!

Go for the sights, stay for the convo

This two-hour walking tour of Central Oslo was a perfect introduction to our visit to Norway, and Neil Howard was a wonderful guide! I would highly recommend this tour to fellow travelers...

OSLO plus Marta equals perfection!

Cynthia_Z, Apr 2025

Although we took an Oslo city sightseeing tour on a bus yesterday, it was today with our amazing tour guide Marta that we learned all about the history, art, architecture, and culture of the city on our walking tour! Marta was a wealth of information! We are four seniors who frequently travel together. We all agreed Marta do a superb job keeping us engaged.

Lanna_H, Dec 2024

Christina is a very helpful and pleasant guide. She provides a very good explanation of Oslo's history and I enjoyed my time with her. Will definitely recommend my friends to join this tour.

Knowledgeable, fun and friendly guide! Excellent experience!

Jim_M, Oct 2024

I had never been to Oslo and Liga did an excellent job of showing me so many places in just two hours. She even took time to show me a little shopping which I requested. I enjoyed her friendly company and her knowledge of the area. She was the perfect guide for me. Thanks so much Liga! Kate

6 hours Oslo excursion with Neil.

MARVIN_T, Sep 2024

We were on a cruise and Oslo was one of our itenerary so I booked this tour and after 2 days, I was able to talk to our our marvelous tour guide, Neil, to discuss our plans. I purchased the 6 hours private tour since that was the maximum time we could stay in Oslo. All the places and landmarks we discussed were met even with our tight schedule. Neil met us at the cruise terminal and showed us around the places my family plans to see. We did a lot of walking,as expected, with matching train ride which save as a lot of time and our train ticket also covered the ferry boat ride to the islands and Neil showed us the church ruins. The boat trip actually was a bonus because we still had enough time to visit the ruins. We covered al lot of places because Neil was very knowledgeable about Oslo, it's history and culture. He really planned well of our itenerary that covered everything in my bucket lists. He speaks good English, well versed of the place, a gentleman, energetic, patient , and a good photographer. By the way, he loves mushroom. I'll give this guy a 5 star rating and an A++ grade. Thank you Neil. EXCELLENT!!

Wonderful tour

Teresa_V, Sep 2024

Neil was a wonderful guide and tailored the tour exactly to our needs. He was extremely knowledgeable.
