Good option with Oslo Pass - Nice overall tour. Good value with the Oslo Pass. Good pace, but know ahead of time no bathroom and you walk a long way. Nice for first timers.

Great choice 🤸‍♀️ - It was very interesting. The most important information of the city presented in an interesting way. You don't walk much. It starts from visitor center, goes near Opera and then to the fortress,...It ends in front of the Grand Café. I loved the panoramic view from the fortress. With Oslo pass this tour was free. We went in Visitor center twenty minutes before departure. There are about 40 people and for this reason we separated into two groups. In this group of 20 people it was easy to follow the story and this was really a great advantage.💕

A great tour - If you have two hours it's definitely worth it. It's nice having someone explain the significance of certain structures and art and the tour guide did a great job.

Oslo has a very interesting history with regards to it's relationship with Sweden and Denmark - Our walking tour of Oslo with Stein from the Oslo Guidebureau was the perfect introduction to the city. He did a great job responding to our request to learn much more about the history and culture of the city and of Norway. His pace and presentation was enjoyable...especially for a couple of "mature" foks. We would highly recommend anyone visiting Oslo and looking to enjoy a lovely and educational walk to contact this group.

Disappointing - We always always take an organized walk in any new city that we visit. This one was the most disappointing. First of all there was a problem with checking people in and the walk started 20 minutes late. Then the guide took off like a bat out of hell and did not wait for the group to catch up with her before she started her commentary. She also had a voice that did not project well, and it was difficult to hear her. She would be looking at the site that she was describing instead of talking to the group. I will acknowledge that it was a fairly large group and it was a very noisy Saturday. However, I don’t think the guide was up to the task.
