great tour/ not forthcoming about fee

4.00Our tour guide Nickola (sp) was fantastic. We learned a lot and appreciated his insight on the amazing city of Oslo. However, when we arrived and he was holding a sign that said "FREE TOUR" we learned that most people did not pay for the tour. It was explained the trip advisor charges for the free tour and then passes along part of what they charge to the tour guide as a tip. It seems pretty scammy and I would have preferred that our guide get to keep all of the tip. We paid over $22 each for 5 of us and another couple paid $16 each. I would have asked for money back but again Nickola was wonderful and well worth it. I just didn't like paying for something upfront with a 24 hour cancellation policy when others joined at zero cost!
Great guide interesting...

Good but scammy

4.00Nikola was a great tour guide with a lot of info about the city However did feel a bit scammed - we booked via viator(trip advisor) who charged us close to £17 per person but we then realised it is a FREE TOUR SERVICE and we were charged money as “tips” for the tour guide. Nikola was nice an explained that the money provided would provide him with a tip and that we didn’t need to tip him, however the tour page says the price paid does not include gratuities. He explained that they have to pay the website to show up on here so only end up getting part of the payment as tips. He had to explain all this as he stood with a sign that said “FREE OSLO WALKING TOUR” and multiple groups that had booked almost missed the tour as we were under the impression it was a paid tour.

5.00Great tour. Guide, Amy, really knew her stuff. Answered questions from the group. Very upbeat. Didn't push, gave time at each stop. Great for the older person. Got lots of good information to fill in rest of trip with some of the places mentioned on tour.

5.00Magnificant!! An absolutely must do when you first arrive in Oslo to get your bearings. Nicola is an intelligent, witty and engaging local tour guide. Note this is a FREE City Walking tour and then you tip the local guide at the end. Best to not book through Viator or any other platform as the tour guide does not get the full amount you have paid. Alternatively, turn up without booking and tip after that way the tour guide gets the full gratuity.
