Very interesting - Mireia was an excellent guide. We learnt a lot about Oslo and it’s history. As we were enjoying ourselves and asking her many questions, (which she happily answered), she extended the tour slightly to show us more of what we were interested in. I would highly recommend if you are interested in knowing more about the history of Oslo, but also she showed us where food courts and where markets will be that we could go back to later in our stay in Oslo.
