A great tour - If you have two hours it's definitely worth it. It's nice having someone explain the significance of certain structures and art and the tour guide did a great job.

Oslo has a very interesting history with regards to it's relationship with Sweden and Denmark - Our walking tour of Oslo with Stein from the Oslo Guidebureau was the perfect introduction to the city. He did a great job responding to our request to learn much more about the history and culture of the city and of Norway. His pace and presentation was enjoyable...especially for a couple of "mature" foks. We would highly recommend anyone visiting Oslo and looking to enjoy a lovely and educational walk to contact this group.

Knowledgeable guide - Great way to get the layout of the city. Anita was a great tour guide and knowledgeable. We only had half a day in Oslo so this was a great way to get a taste of the city and history. If we had stayed longer, we got tips on what else to visit.

In the Heart of Oslo - The tour was very comprehensive and informative. Everything was very well organized and you hit a lot of stops in two hours. We had Rune as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and his passion for the history of Oslo and Norway made the tour very engaging.

Marianne superb guide - We had a brilliant two hour guide of the city its quirks history politics heritage culture and its highs and lows through the ages. Walking at the right pace we wee guided through the streets castles and harbour with a story delivered eloquently at every stop by our knowledgeable interesting and informative guide Marriane. We were a mixed age group ( we were the oldest) but the information shared was pitched perfectly so we all found it of interest

Disappointing - We always always take an organized walk in any new city that we visit. This one was the most disappointing. First of all there was a problem with checking people in and the walk started 20 minutes late. Then the guide took off like a bat out of hell and did not wait for the group to catch up with her before she started her commentary. She also had a voice that did not project well, and it was difficult to hear her. She would be looking at the site that she was describing instead of talking to the group. I will acknowledge that it was a fairly large group and it was a very noisy Saturday. However, I don’t think the guide was up to the task.
