Historic River Walk tour - Absolutely fantastic, not to be missed especially if the weather is good. I would never have discovered this part of Oslo were it not for this tour. The snippets of history we heard about from our wonderful guide Kjellfrid (Frida) were also really informative, a great addition to the stunning scenery. It does get a bit steep to walk by the end, but Frida was very attentive to the slowest in the group to make sure we all made it!

Pleasnt walk along the river - Mari was a charming and pleasant tour guide, showing us around in the less-known part of Olso, with good mix of history, local traditions, today's life, ... and time to just wander around in your own thoughts. It is great that you can walk as far as you can, and then take the bus back. Vulkan was a place that would be nice to stay a bit longer to try some of the food. Recommended.

Great tour! Definitely do it. - Anita was a great tour guide, we did two different walks with her on different days. Very knowledgeable and adds a lot of personal stories of growing up in Oslo which are very interesting to hear about! Thank you. We especially enjoyed the river walk tour and saw new neighbourhoods. We recommend doing the tours if you want to experience a deeper connection with Oslo and it’s authenticity.

Meh, Could Have Done Without - I suppose we are the first to not care for the walk. I thought it was supposed to be a river walk versus a city walk, so that is my error. Nonetheless, thank you for the tour.
