A must Walking tour
Marketa was friendly, engaging and even the jokes were good. Easy to find the meeting point as right next to the Tiger at the train station. 90% a flat walking tour and only one small hill for those who want to know.

Great introduction to the city of Oslo
We had a great time exploring Oslo on this walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to a few places you wouldn’t normally experience as well as a number of the landmarks around the city. We would recommend this tour as a great introduction to the city and a good way to orientate yourself before you go off exploring on your own
