Wonderful tour with our knowledgeable guide
Great experience with the Oslo walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide ( south african ) was excellent- really knew her stuff and it was all very interesting and funny.
Martha was a great guide. Interesting talk, not too fast, not too slow walking speed. A great way to spend a couple of hours in Oslo.
Very good introduction to Oslo with excellent recommendations on sites to visit and restaurant tips.
Very thorough immersion into the history and architecture of Oslo in an entertaining manner while seeing important locations around the city
Excellent leader. Knowledgeable, humorous and personable. This is a 2 hour comprehensive tour of city. Must be moderately fit.
We had very limited time in Oslo so the walking tour was invaluable to find out about this city. Our give, Marketta, was knowledgeable, informative and had a great sense of humour. We would highly recommend her tours.
Daniel was so funny and kept all the history very engaging. He made the time to talk to everyone between stops and was very kind. He gave great recommendations for shops, restaurants and anything else you could think of. Fantastic tour and even better tour guide!!
Perfect guide! The commentary was very interesting, both historically and regarding daily life. The chosen locations were truly judicious, often off the beaten path, which made the visit particularly pleasant and authentic. And the icing on the cake: the places where we stopped to listen to the explanations were always chosen in the shade—which was very appreciated in the heat—and, most of the time, we could sit down and therefore take the opportunity to rest a little. An excellent visit, which I highly recommend!
