Outstanding Overview of Norway & Oslo - Fact filled, humorous, fast paced, engaging tour. Tons of information about Oslo, Norway history, and why it is important to beat Sweden in any sporting event. Walk was quite brisk with at least one steep, long climb to look over the fjord and get pictures of a breathtaking sunset plus view of the city. Fabulous introduction to Norway for those with little knowledge other than it is dark, cold, home of the northern lights, Nobel Peace Prize, and Edvard Munch. Our guide was outstanding.

Really nice walk around the city! - Hello from Uruguay! We joined this tour as part of the Oslo Pass we purchased with my wife. The tour gives you a really nice glimpse of the city. Erik was our guide, again, so we were thrilled! He told us stories about every spot and even answered some questions about Christmas traditions (my wife loves Christmas). Highly recommend this tour!

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.💕
