Gratuities
Nobel Peace Center
Your guide greets the group outside the Nobel Peace Centre before leading you towards the waterfront. There, you step into a storied tavern whose walls once echoed with the plans of polar icons such as Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen. Surrounded by maritime memorabilia, you raise a modest pour of akevitt—Norway’s herb-infused national spirit—and learn how it fuelled countless Arctic expeditions.
Karl Johans Gate
A gentle walk winds through the civic heart of Oslo to a time-honoured local pub loved by generations of residents. Settle in for a traditional Skagen sandwich (open-faced sandwich) of seasonal Norwegian ingredients; if seafood is not your preference, your guide will arrange an equally enjoyable alternative. The meal is paired with a typical Norwegian draught beer.

The whole family loved this tour. Shaf was very knowledgeable about Oslo’s and the greater Scandinavian history, and of course knew his beer! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore the beer scene in Oslo or those who just want to enjoy a fantastic evening.

This was a fantastic way to taste local beer and food, and learn some great local history as we walked the picturesque streets of Oslo. Shaf was an amazing guide!! The beer flight at ROOR to finish the tour was delicious, and the perfect way to end the tour. Thank you for a fun afternoon!

An easy going outing for some basics of the area. Shaf was a great guide, he brought us to some good local places and gave us the overviews we needed to get the full experience. The idea behind it is a local's night out, and you fully get that feel.
