A great introduction to Oslo

A wonderful morning spent with Nahuel and Eleanor strolling around the streets of Oslo and learning lots about the city's history and "fun facts". We only wish that we had taken this tour on our first day in Oslo, and then we could have taken advantage of all the local knowledge and suggestions of other places to enjoy in and around the city.

An Excellent Tour

This was an excellent tour. Carlos shared his passion for Oslo history, architecture, and culture as well as answered all my questions. One of the best tours I’ve ever had and well worth the money. I’d heartily recommend this tour to anyone

A wonderful tour!

A wonderful tour. Eleanor and Nahuel were very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very cold day, the streets were covered with snow but we didn't care. Two hours seems like 30 minutes and we learned a lot. Highly recommended!!

100% recommended!!

EXCELLENT!! I can confidently say that this is the best tour I've taken since arriving in Northern Europe for three weeks. Itatina is the name of the company that offered the excursion, which was extremely informative on various topics, including a lot of history. They clearly explained the facts about each spot visited and answered every question. At the end of the excursion, the tour guide, who is the owner of the company, also offered many alternatives for visiting museums, hiking, and restaurants.

Free tour with Nahuel

The free tour with Nahuel was incredible. We learned a lot about the history of Norway and the city of Oslo. Nahuel is a great communicator and makes the activity very enjoyable and dynamic. Without a doubt, the best free tour I've ever been on.
