Great introduction to a beautiful city! - Great tour lead by Romy. Included major points of interest with recommendations for further exploring. Lots of info about the city and lifestyle here. Fallen in love with Oslo. Feels similar to home (Auckland, NZ) but winters are a deterent, we dont get so cold.
