In the Heart of Oslo - The tour was very comprehensive and informative. Everything was very well organized and you hit a lot of stops in two hours. We had Rune as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and his passion for the history of Oslo and Norway made the tour very engaging.

Marianne superb guide - We had a brilliant two hour guide of the city its quirks history politics heritage culture and its highs and lows through the ages. Walking at the right pace we wee guided through the streets castles and harbour with a story delivered eloquently at every stop by our knowledgeable interesting and informative guide Marriane. We were a mixed age group ( we were the oldest) but the information shared was pitched perfectly so we all found it of interest

Extremely good guided tour of Oslo City - The guide (unfortunately can't remember her name) was very good and knowledgeable about Oslo and was friendly and enthusiastic. No complaints whatsoever. I learned a lot about the sites and saw a lot. Gives more context and enriches your experience when you dont just see the sites but understand the history. Highly recommended.

Heart of Oslo walking tour - Great tour to give you an introduction to Oslo and its history! Having this as my baseline (did it upon arriving) was a great way to then better explore more of the city alone in the days after. The stories, anecdotes and recommendations from our lovely guide Kjellfrid (Frida) also helped me make lots of decisions for getting the best out of the rest of my trip!
