Best walking tour of Amsterdam with professional guide - history lesson on the go. This was the best walking tour ever- - Daughter 15 year old and me had the most amazing history “class” including facts, art, architecture and political views of Amsterdam and the Netherlands - all while walking around in a super fun and relaxed atmosphere - our amazing tour guide and his adorable dog Toky took us all over the city - 3 hours of fun and learning that captivates even my teenager- highly recommend!

Perfect walking tour - Interesting and great way to see the city before deciding what you would like to spend more time at. Marie was the perfect person to easily guide our family ( parents, kids 11/15 and grandparent). The 3 hours went quick but perfect for what we needed.

Oslo private walking tour - Our guide, Olav, made our tour very interesting and informative. He had a deep understanding of Oslo’s and Norway’s history and was able to convey his knowledge in a very engaging way. I highly recommend this tour as a good way to get an overview of Oslo.

Fantastic Guide and Fantastic Tour - Maria was a fantastic tour guide. In auditions to learning about the history and points of interest of Oslo, my husband and I are always very interested in learning about local politics and social issues. Maria was a wealth of knowledge on both matters and was simply delightful!

If you want to see the bigh highlights in the middle of Oslo, this is a great wa to do it. - This walking tour has a decent amount of hills and saw a great number of the sights near the center of Oslo. A great way to get the highlights of the city. A lot of photo opportunities.

Disappointing private guide tour - Walking around Oslo on a great sunny day
Unfortunately the tour was very disappointing - guide was a very nice person but unprepared to be a guide - not great English and did not have much information to share. Tour was somewhat boring and at the end she did not know how to help us with basic public transportation - we have done tours with your company all over the world and have always loved them and given great reviews - this one was definitely not worth the money, sorry
