The food was definitely interesting, but the walking tour and information was top notch! - The food was local fare and well described. Our guide, Christian, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. If you can, I would ask for him hy name! We were lucky it was a nice day in February because the walking part of the tour was also very informative and interesting. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to get out of the normal tourist areas and want to see a different part of Oslo.

Excellent tour - I had a wonderful tour with Shaf. I ended up being the only person on the tour but this was not a problem and I still had a great time and had a chance to try some great Norwegian food!

Epic Food Tour - Shef was the greatest! We had the best time walking, learning, eating. The hot chocolate and cinnamon treat was terrific, the waffles were amazing and the last stop was the best with the salami's, cheese and beer. We so enjoyed ourselves that we stayed at the food stalls after the tour ended. Shef was professional, knowledgeable and very funny, plus he was super helpful giving us some ideas and recommendations for other things to do in Oslo. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Shef - he's cool.

Fantastic experience! - A really great experience that showed us a totally different side to Oslo that we wouldn’t otherwise have experienced. Our guide was great - really knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to tell us a lot about the local area and the food we were eating. All the food had been carefully selected as either foods eaten at a particular occasion or as being special to Norway. All in all, highly recommended!

Tasty food, and great guide - Katerin was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the local area and food. Not only was the food very tasty, but Katerin should us to some unique places within Oslo. Highly recommend (particularly the waffles).

Loved it!!! - We had a wonderful time on this tour!! It ended up being just my partner and I, so the experience was more personalized to us. We loved all of the food - waffles, cocoa, oysters, traditional foods and more - but we also loved hearing about the history of Oslo and Norway throughout the tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Oslo and various landmarks and culture. And we got some recommendations for where to go during our time here! Overall, 5/5 we absolutely enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this tour to others!

It’s a nice way to see... - It’s a nice way to see the city. Not super vegetarian friendly if you’re in it just for the food. Christian was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.

OK but not as advertised - In the winter you just eat at a food hall. The food hall was nice but I had really wanted to talk through town trying food. The guide didn't say anything about what locals do. Ok tour but not what was advertised
