When the tour turns experience
It was a pleasant surprise to see the main tourist attractions of Norway on foot with Marcela! The care and personalized way she takes the ride makes the experience much lighter, more interesting and more vibrant. She can adapt everything to what we love most, bringing stories, curiosities and behind the scenes that only those who live and breathe Norway can share. Without a doubt, it was a special tour, of those who remain in memory with affection.

What a wonderful introduction to Oslo. Marcella did a wonderful job sharing Oslo's unique and historical highlights
Marcella did a wonderful job showing us all the highlights of Oslo including City Hall and the library. We never would have thought about going to those sites had we been touring on our own. She was a wonderful source of information on Norwegian way of life and Norwegian perspectives. It was an absolute delight for us to walk around Oslo with should a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Operator response
Dear King, it was so nice to bump into you and your friends today again by the hotel lobby, I am so happy that you got to see the Northern lights, tried dog sledging and to hear that you had nice memories of Oslo with me! I had a great time with you guys, thanks for the warmth and pleasant companionship, I enjoyed as much as you! I wish you wonderful trips ahead... All the best, Marcela Orsini.

Perfect way to get a real feel for Oslo.
Marcella was wonderful!! It was just the three of us which made it so intimate and easy. Like 3 friends walking the city!
I don’t have to tell you what we saw as it’s in the description but suffice to say that we got a really good feel for many different areas and their history.
We would highly recommend this tour (or, any tour) with Marcella!
Operator response
Dear Debra, thank you for the review! We had the tour earlier today, you were fast :)

I wish you and your husband a fantastic trip to Scotland and Iceland.

The essentials of Oslo
We met Marcela in the morning at our hotel. After a quick briefing, we left and walked the city. Pass the palace to city hall, onto parliament, shopping district, cathedral and then pass the rail station and onto to modern part of the city. Marcela was also most helpful sitting with us after and giving us pointers and tips about the rest of our trip through Norway. Had great morning with lots of laughs.
Operator response
Dear Scott, thanks for leaving me a review. I hope that the two of you are enjoying the trip along the Norwegian coast. I enjoyed our morning together and hearing about life in Canada. You will always be welcome here!
Best regards,

Beautiful building, but unfortunately little or no Norwegian building materials were used.
The Oslo Opera House is located on the sea and consists of white marble (from Italy). It is very nice that you can walk on the roof and enjoy the view of the city and the sea from various platforms. A lot of wood has been used inside, but strangely, that wood does not come from the Norwegian forests as you would expect, but from Germany and Eastern Europe.
Operator response
Dear Anita,
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review, I must confess that I had to use the translator to understand it. I'm happy that you have enjoyed the tour and that the Norwegian Opera and Ballet has made a big impression on you.
