Loved our tour guide (Lisa Tanya)...thorough history, spent extra time with us, etc. The only thing not favorable was the weather, but, hey, it was summer in the Baltics.

  • Very unprofessional guide

    Laura P,Sep 16, 2024

    2.0

    The food is good. Guide was not. She started by sending me 8 messages changing time & meeting place twice. She talked non stop repeating herself often and giving us much wrong information. We walked at least 4 miles. At the end she asked if there was anything she could have done better. When I told her all the communication was confusing. She became very defensive. We tried to leave & she kept following us & trying to argue with me. I kept polite. Very disappointed. She was quite unprofessional

  • Tanya's Fantastic Food Tour

    Great combo history/food tour. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot..l Very informative. The food stops were fantastic. Tanya took us to a salmon fishery company, raising salmon in the fjords attached restaurant, where we got a history lesson on how salmon is raised. We got to sample fiskekaker “fish cakes” and three different prepared salmon 🍣 bites: delicious. We then went to our favorite place, which was a commercial fish market with a tiny attached store, where they sell their products. We got to sample six different meats and fish including whale 🐳. (Whale not my favorite). We also hit an adorable cafe where we had Mosbromlefse, which is a caramelized goat cheese inside of a paper-thin crêpe-like thing that had sour cream on top. It was sweet and delicious. We ended with a coffee and tea at another cafe, after which Tanya dropped us back at our hotel. Four hours total. It might seem like small amounts of food, but we were completely satisfied.

    The food we tasted on this tour was amazing - local dishes with quality ingredients. Our tour guide took us around the downtown area, pointing out important sites and making recommendations. She was very informative and had great communication leading up to the tour. Please note that the cost of the food is extra and not included in the posted price.

    We appreciated our tour guide’s sound knowledge of Oslo and Norwegian history, as well as her direction to visit unique places to eat with fresh food with good people. Fenaknoken har det was AMAZING and Erik was brilliant.

  • Great way to see and taste Oslo!

    What a great way to experience some authentic Norwegian food! Tanya-Lisa was our tour guide and an absolute pleasure. She went above & beyond to not only take us to some delicious food spots but also all around the city centre - giving us information & tips for our stay. We loved this tour and felt we saw Oslo in the best way. Definitely recommend!
