We were two people in a group of four so our tour was very personalised. Maria our guide was lovely and full of a wealth of information about Oslo. She gave us a great insight into the city and how the people live. The walk was reasonably flat and easy. A great experience.

This walking tour is great way to get the lay of the land and learn parts of its interesting history. Our Tour-guide Emilia was really lovely. She showcased Oslo well and gave great insight into it’s history, while also giving recommendations for what to go and see after the tour. Emilia answered all questions and set a good pace for everyone to follow along.

We had 10 people on the tour - most of us elderly. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Oslo and Norway considering he was from Ukraine BUT he walked so fast that we couldn’t keep up with him most of the time. I asked him to please slow down just a little and his response was we would not be able to get to all the places. He had to wait for the majority of us to catch up to him anyway.
