About the operator
- dalepN1825DM00The best city tourAll you want to know about Oslo. This was probably the best city tour I have ever had. The guide was very knowledgeable and nice - she answered all my questions and made the experience unique and tailored to my interests. I particularly enjoyed walking with her through the central Oslo and feeling like a local. But all the tour was great and I highly recommend it.
- SJW54300Worst tour everI have traveled a lot though Europe. I have hired many tour guides. This was something so terrible I can't even describe. We had a woman who I don't even think knows the history of Norway. She made strange remarks like that's not important about statues we would ask about. Would walk away for 5 minutes.
- Pam S00Experiencing places native Norwegians frequentBeing of Norwegian heritage I was excited to find a tour that focused on the foods of Norway. Little did I know that Tonya our guide was take us to such fun, out of the way places. The tour began with tasting at a wonderful Norwegian grocery store where we tasted fish, pork, lamb, cheese and lingonberries. We also learned about the meat salting process. This was followed by a lovely walk, with Tonya explaining the wonderful sites of Oslo along the way. Our next stop an electric coffee shop where we had shrimp on toast, amazing. When she found out I made lease she had one of the employees show me how they made lease in their shop. Again an area we would.not found without the guidance of Tonya. Our next stop was at Salmon where we were educated on the salmon production in Norway, followed by salmon tasting, best I have ever had. We next took a walk around the Marina again to an area we would have never found on our own. The tour ended with some amazing Norwegian Ice Cream. I can honestly say this is one of the best Trip Advisor Tours I have ever taken. If you get the opportunity, book this tour, it is not to be missed.
- D287NMdavew00Thoroughly enjoyed our tourThis tour was fantastic! Had a tour of a lifetime and my amazing guide was personable, funny and incredible knowledgeable. 5 out of 5 and I would highly recommend.
- 854tracil00Terrible guide. Terrible attitude.The guide was very negative about Oslo, the opera house. When we asked to stop and see things, she told us to come back later. We left the tour early due to her attitude and our frustration. It was a private tour for just the two of us. I will be asking for a refund.
- annenJ9154MG00Wonderful tourWe very much enjoyed the tour. The guide was professional. We saw what we wanted to see and more. Oslo is a perfect place! Thank you!
- K2374ZBbetht00Amazing tour, highly recommendedOur Guide took care of the group well. She was informative, patient, easy-going, and met our needs. We had a chance to visit all the important sites. Very good tour, we recommend this tour.
- maria1973201700Terrible experienceThe tour guide wasn’t able to walk fast or speak loud - didn’t have a microphone either…( only whoever was beside her could hear what she was saying) . She offered the tour knowing the date 3 months in advance offering museums entrances and the museums were closed. She didn’t want to stop to take pictures when we wanted a few minutes. She was not in a good mood. Don’t ever book this tour. We had a terrible time!!
- DayTrip77924300Rushed but we saw a lotOur tour guide was very knowledgeable but rushed since she booked another tour right after ours. I think ours was suppose to be 4 hours but it was given in 3. It's ok since there was a lot to see.
- bcaffert100Very Informative!This was a great way to get a quick but thorough overview of Oslo. It really opened our eyes to all that the city has to offer! The information was truly helpful. One important thing to know - Oslo has many things closed on Sunday.
- G5238SRtomw00A very nice historical walking tour of Oslo.Brilliant, smart and informative mix of historical and modern life aspect, and a great way to get more insider's look at Oslo - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Guide was very nice and very professional - highly recommended.
- G5238SRtomw00I totally recommend this tourWe had one of the best food tours for a long time. Our Tour Guide took us to a chocolate shop, fish restaurant, historical restaurant and a Norwegian market. We had tasted fish, meats, cheeses, bread, lefse etc. to try. We learnt a lot of local customs and eating habits. Our Guide was wonderful, funny, insightful, knowledgeable guide/storyteller, who made the entire experience even more fun. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in food and culture. Thank you, Tanya Lisa!
- johnnybV6887SI00Scandinavian food tour in OsloWe got a great tour in Oslo city with 3 different tastings experiances of Norway. Even with limited posibilites of resturants and coffee shops that offer the option of smaller taste samples in Oslo. For us this was a perfect Food Tour able to see Centrum, inspiration of other places to come back to enjoy a full meal. The balance of walking and tastings was perfect to enjoy. The 4 hours passing quick as Tania Lisa even had more to show us. But we enjoyed our last tasting and stayed as a good ending of our tour with plans of a concert right after. With good service, possible to buy extra sample from one of the coffe shops could have been done if we wanted to taste some extra or as we liked for the last tasting some Wine. All the other planed tastings Tania Lisa took care of the bill as we had orderd a tour with tasting. Tanks to Tania Lisa our Romantic first Oslo visit with focus on Scandinavian food have been perfect left with a good memory, unique and a life experiance.
- seanlE7471CV00Perfect foodie tour in OsloThere is nothing I love more than a good food tour. I believe you can learn so much about a place and its culture through the cuisine, which is why I love booking a food tour whenever I’m in a new country. And my most recent trip to Oslo was no different. Food can tell you so much about the culture of a place. The tour was very informative and we had a chance to taste traditional and special Norwegian food, such as fish soup, lefse, different types of smoked salmon, cured ham and gomme for dessert etc. in cosy locations of Oslo. We loved our tour Guide, she conducted our tour very professionally. We had fun enjoying samples of local food. We are happy to recommend this tour to other travellers.
- 530judys00Newbies in OsloTanya Lisa showed us all the important landmarks, explained to us the lay of the land, and introduced us to the Salmon industry. We tasted elk, whale, reindeer, and aged brown cheese, among other things. She also introduced us to the supermarket offerings, and took us to an international food market. Well worth the cost, she gave us a historical and cultural context, which is so appreciated.

Read so many reviews about this tour before I booked but it was not what I expected. The guide didn’t tell me what did Oslo mean unlike what other reviews had about the explanation.
There was also a miscommunication on the location of the hotel and guide was not well versed with the Viking history despite me asking and she gave a 1 minute explanation and told me to go to the museums when I already booked a museum free tour.
She said she tried her best but I don’t think it’s nice to ask in a threatening way about the ratings and reviews that your client will give in the middle of the street when it’s so cold..
I do appreciate the explanations she gave but they were rather repetitive.
No comments whether one should book the tour but you can probably tell the guide in advance because she won’t bother to contact you in advance and will blame you for not texting her in advance.
Oh wells. Not impressed with Oslo.

When I met Joanne, she had just arrived from Northern Norway. She traveled by Hurtigruten ship along the coast of Norway. Oslo was her last stop in Norway. She had a bad experience and was very negative about Norway in general. During the tour in Oslo, she kept complaining: terrible tour guide in Sweden, Hurtigruten ship - too old, food on the ship - terrible, medical service - no proper treatment. She didn't like Oslo either, she said it was "messy" , beggars on the street etc. She booked the tour for 1.30PM (it does get dark around 3PM). After the tour, she requested a refund because it was too dark. Before the tour she did not informed the Guide that she changed her hotel.
