Oslo Walking Tour: Explore Top Sights & Hidden Gems

Taras was a good guide, a very sweet person and was happy to answer all my questions about history with ease.

I really enjoyed the walking tour of Oslo. My guide was very knowledgeable, professional and super friendly. Not only she showed me the most interesting places in Oslo ( many of which I would not have ever found on my own), but also shared her knowledge of history, culture and mentality of Norwegian people. This was more than just seeing the places - it was an incredible insight into the past and present of the country. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits Oslo.

Received message that the tour was cancelled. It was sent 1.5 hrs before the tour, but I did not receive it until I arrived at the meetup spot. Had they informed me earlier, I could’ve booked an alternative for that same day. Disappointed, as I was looking forward to a city overview to begin my exploration of this beautiful city.

Terrible experience and communication when we complained. The guide was pleasant but ultimately lacked language skills and knowledge. He was Ukrainian and his English language skills were limited and struggled to communicate information and when we asked questions gave random answers. Usually about Ukrainian or transport around the city. He was confused and unorganised and the information he provided appears to have been developed by basic Internet searches. We requested a refund or return of some of the £58 we paid but response has been slow and only said thank you for your feedback. We would never usually or never have left feedback like this and would not have if we had received a more positive response. Would suggest using another company as we have seen some very well organised tours around the city.

Spencer truly gave an overview of Oslo. He was very knowledgeable answered all of our questions. We truly got the vibes of the city.

Our guide Spence was excellent; knowledgeable, easy going adaptable and just nice to stroll around Oslo with. He ticked off the big ticket items, gave us a good oversight and then the level and depth of information was basically at our discretion, he was quite happy to cover a wide range of general Norwegian topics. He provided some follow up advice about restaurants which we really appreciated. It was just a great way to get a feel for Oslo on day one.

Firstly, the company was very accomodating in moving our tour back 24 hours as our train was delayed and we were very thankful. On the day the weather was very rainy and our guide pulled out with a personal issue and we were told to be replaced - which was fine. Our new guide was a very nice guy who moved to Oslo from the Ukraine 3 years ago - we enjoyed his company but this was an English speaking tour and English for him was a challenge - we struggled to understand him and he understood none of our questions - this is not his fault at all…but the tour company who, of course, have ignored our complaint. In the end we had an expensive stroll around some key parts of the city (not the Palace where we were supposed to finish!) and learned not much at all. Be aware of this - I’m sure this is not a usual experience and we wait for a response from the company which may mirror the tour - disappointing!!!

Our guide was Penny and she was wonderful. Took her time to explain things and we didn’t feel rushed. She is a wonderful lady.

This was an utterly amazing tour. We met our guide, Penny, in the middle of a downpour and discovered that everyone else had canceled, leaving us with a private tour. Given that another tour later in our vacation had already been canceled due to low participation, we were very grateful she still took us around town. Our tour took us to all the spots mentioned in the listing. The library was breathtaking, and Penny's descriptions of how it reflects life in Oslo really brought the town to life for us. She had plenty of stories and history to share, and she really made us feel at home in the city. Little touches - like being able to ring the bell in the harbor - made this so much more than just a tour - it felt like a homecoming. We wholeheartedly recommend this this experience to anyone wanting to experience Oslo with just a short time to do it. It was by far the best of 7 tours we took during our cruise and we are already wanting to go back. Thanks, Penny!

Penny was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about Norway and Oslo.
