Wonderful city walks - Ancient city tour + Nordic mythology + psychic stories, interspersed with royal gossip. The tour guide said Norwegians grew up frightened by stories of "mountains eating children" and "that's how you start loving dark stories". Each story begins with the phrase, “On a bad day, just like today ...” and is very engrossing, with some special tips for dealing with mountain demons. Norwegians are really proud of their monsters, Troll the Mountain Demon, the Forest Elves who confuse passersby, Kraken the Sea Monster.. Don't take a stroll in the rain anyway. Oslo's favorite trip, truly recommended.

The Great Stories of Oslo - I LOVED THIS TOUR! Do not underestimate this tour I learned a lot of history about Oslo and even learned more about the different structures and their significance. The tour guide, Marija was very engaging and had us all at the edge of our seats. She made the tour relatable and funny plus she was very warm and approachable. The information from this tour stuck more than others I've taken. Plus it was nice to visit the castle and learn more about what happened in the past. The tour is one to remember with a guide that left an impression.

Fun and entertaining - What a fun and interesting tour. Anastasia was excellent!! She gave us information, then a story or two at every stop. We were all so engaged and entertained. We didn’t walk a ton, but you will be standing / walking for 2 hours so make sure you are up for it. We could have talked about City Hall the entire time!

Norway fork lore - The guide Maria was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. It was the perfect amount of time and she took us into parts of Oslo we wouldn’t have known about. The stories were very entertaining.
