Norwegian History brought to life - It’s wonderful to be taken around this special place with someone like Lisa who was able to bring everything to life. She also told us some very interesting facts about Norway and its history. Highly recommended! We were also fortunate to have such a beautiful day.

Immersive Journey - The best cultural immersive journey I have experienced in Oslo. Thanks to our guide, he was so knowledgeable about the Museum, Church and cultural history of Oslo. In short he gave a memorable ride in to the culture and history of Oslo, Norway.

Immersed in Norwegian culture and beauty! - "I must say it was an unforgettable trip, our guide taught us so much about Norsk Folkemuseum. The historic buildings and the Gol Stave Church heightened our excitement as we immersed ourselves in Norway’s rich culture and architectural heritage.

Journey Through Norway’s History and Culture - This tour turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Oslo. The guide met us just outside the Norsk Folkemuseum and made us feel welcome right away.The visit started with the Gol Stave Church, which was truly impressive.I also really appreciated learning about the Sami people and their culture, which was something I hadn’t known much about before. Everything was well-paced, informative, and really engaging. If you're curious about Norway’s past and enjoy cultural experiences, this tour is definitely worth doing.

Breathtaking experience at the Norsk Folkemuseum! - It was once in a lifetime experience where we got the chance to explore Norway's rich, vibrant and wonderful culture! The center of attraction was the mesmerizing wooden architecture of the Gol Stave Church. The historic buildings narrated the stories of transformation witnessed by Norway over the different eras.

Poorly Organized Tour – No Show and No Assistance - I’m disappointed. Honestly, I’m speechless — I was at the agreed time and location, and there was no one there! I asked some people working at the venue for information, and they told me they had no idea that Tripadvisor sold this kind of tour, and had no information. So I called the contact number listed on the website. Someone answered but said they also didn’t have any information about the guide and would get back to me with details. I waited, tried calling again, and they simply didn’t answer. In the end, my friend and I bought single tickets and entered to visit without a guide. I’m disappointed — I paid £100 for this and didn’t even receive any support. I recommend buying the Oslo Pass instead — it gives you access to all the museums, buses, and trams for half the price. Or go with a competing platform — at least I’ve never had a problem there.

Beginner Guide / Needs work - We were disappointed with the guide provided yesterday. He seemed like a beginner and lost. He was too busy taking pictures of the surroundings with his personal camera. He didn’t give us much history. I think he needs to get trained further. Tour wasn’t worth the booking.
