Great tour and resource. Highly recommend! - Our guide Aksel took our group of 3 on an extensive mildly tailored walking tour around the city. We learned so much about its history via the structures and sights and Aksel's great explanations. Oslo is way more than just the Fjord City modern buildings! We saw the various government buildings, Akershus, City Hall, Vigelund Sculpture Park, etc. If necessary we could even have hired him to take us into some of the museums like the Resistance Museum or the art museums, since apparently to do this job you need to be able to speak knowledgeably about what's in the museums! We even had a short pitstop to get a Norwegian hotdog (pølse) which totally exceeded expectations. Overall this was a great use of our time and money. Highly recommended.

Amazing Service. - Amazing service - I experienced a personal mishap during my stay, and the Manager Tony went out of his way literally to assist in resolving the issue, which included several phone calls and emails on his behalf and a trip to the Post Office. The motel itself was clean, centrally located, and very comfortable. I am very grateful for Tony's lovely disposition and helpfulness.

Informative tour through history - A very interesting and informative walking tour. Lots of contrasts between the old and new Oslo. The guide was very knowledgeable and got to know us all and linked what she knew to the countries We were from. Loved learning about the history through the ages.

Great tour of Oslo - Very cool tour of Oslo. Hanne took us to the opera house, to the library, to both sides of the railroad tracks, and gave lots of local perspective on the history of both Oslo and Norway in general.

Not to be missed! - Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all of our questions - even those about Oslo more generally. Within the 2 hours, we became experts in Oslo's history, culture, and architecture. Highly recommend.
