Very nice experience - It's a very well organized tour. We had a very nice and enthusiastic guide who was also very helpful with tips on other activities and options. This tour is good for both old and young with a nice stop by the campfire with marshmellows and hot chocolate. Definitely recommended.

Magical experience! ❄️ - This was such a magical experience. The cabin in the woods surrounded by snow was so picturesque, it even started to snow while we were there around the campfire 😍 so so beautiful! Walking with the flame torches was something else - a unique experience that I will never forget 🥹

Felt at ease from the minute meeting her at the backstube cafe till dropping us back at central …. Went on the metro for around 30/40 mins up until the forest.. walked across a frozen lake - to a log cabin and had a hot chocolate and got to toast some marshmallows (also waffles and sauce included) then lite our torches and set of for a 40/45 mins ish walk (very snowy and beautiful) it was truly beautiful up at frognerseteren park.

Cold Front in the Forest! - This trip is definitely for thrill seekers and people who enjoy the combination of wilderness and the cold. Our tour guide was very friendly and resourceful. The walk itself was a little shorter than I expected but i couldn't imagine it being much longer as my toes almost froze. It was nice to witness people throwing a birthday party in the woods which is a first for me but it was cool. I recommend this for those who enjoy a slight challenge.

Lovely snowy hike - Well organised, Lynn was super smiley and helpful. Lovely hike to the cabin where we had hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows on the fire. We then had a second hike with the torches back to the start and the train back to Oslo. Would recommend

Magical winter night time walk in the forest - Quite simply the highlight of our stay in Oslo. Crisp, fresh snow, a brilliant, informative guide in Tom (or maybe Thom?), delicious hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows and a truly magical experience, walking through the forest with torches at dark. We loved every minute, thank you so much

A magical walk and camp fire in the Oslo forest. - We had a brilliant time in this trip. Tom and Miles we excellent guides and made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. We set off at dusk and travelled by metro up into the hills above Oslo. We were very lucky to experience light snow on our 23rd December tour and this certainly added to the experience. Top marks to Tom and Miles for personally arranging the snow! We enjoyed the camp fire, the hot chocolate, toasting waffles and marshmallows followed by a magical forest walk with lit torches. We travelled with grown up children and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful Oslo experience. 100% recommended, even if you don't have snow.

BORED - Very expensive tour, you spend more time on the metro traveling than the activity itself, it is not worth paying £80 to walk 15m in the dark and drink chocolate. It was very boring and disappointing.
