Good food and a great guide - We didn't really know what to expect from Norwegian cuisine when we booked the holiday, so thought this was a great way of getting a taste of everything and understanding it. Alex, our tour guide, was fantastic, giving so much texture to the city (a great walking compliment to a bus tour guide we did earlier in the day). We got to see so many different parts of it and sample the cuisine with knowledgeable local shops explaining it to us. The Waffles were a particular highlight! Thanks again! C+L

Foodie and history tour - The whole tour was very fun. Eating location significant foods and learning about them as you get try them is very cool. Also, the history and location specific information you get to learn whole walking from stop to stop is informative and enjoyable. Alex, our guide is very knowledgeable and had answers to all of our questions.

Great City Tour with Food Samples - A great way to get to know the city and try some popular local foods. Starts in the City Center and ends in an indoor market where you can try even more foods after the tour.

Oslo food walking tour - Took us to some areas where locals hang out which was good. Range of quality food choices bit too much for us, couldn't eat the last option as so full up. Would highly recommend .

Lacking in the Winter - This was a very lackluster tour. The first 2 stops were amazing, but once we got to the food hall, the tour became a chore. We were told that the last stop was not serving the lefse wwrapped hotdog because they are busy for the holidays. However, instead of finding an alternative FOOD option, we were given the choice of a coffee, another beer, or a hot chocolate, not food. I noticed that we didn't even get to all the stops on the tour, nor did we get the aquavit that was on the itinerary. I signed up for this tour because it said we were going to spend some time in a cemetery. However, we didn't even go past one. Alex was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Oslo and the history behind the city. Overall, if you want to take this tour in the winter, I would highly encourage you to look for something else.

Terrible experience - I was at the meeting point on time but I couldn't find the tour guide. I requested for a refund but I was denied. Such a terrible experience on my first day in Oslo.
