There were about 50 people on this tour which was too many. The tours we have done in other cities this year had a maximum of about 25 which was manageable. Why would you book around 50 people on the one tour? The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable but it moved too slowly for us We left after about 60% of the tour Disappointing
This tour was wonderful! Daniel was humorous and engaging as he shared the history of Oslo and Norway as we walked around the city! I would highly recommend it!
Excellent survey of Oslo in two ours- our guide was knowledgeable and funny- giving us a short history lesson as we walked
Daniel was so helpful and witty. Made us feel like a proper tour group. We got to know each other and the city of Oslo. He really does love his job. Highly recommend this tour.

Daniel our guide was fantastic and quite entertaining. The tour was well worth doing and he recommended all the major food stops.
It was an enjoyable and informative tour with knowledgeable guide.
This was an excellent tour. Our group was more than 30 people, which was not ideal, but our guide Ramon handled it extremely well. She did a great job of keeping us all together, making sure that we could all hear him and were able to ask any questions we had. He provided a lot of very interesting information, often in a humorous way. We really enjoyed the tour.
