Good tour, good food, good guide :) It's a mix of a food and walking/culture tour, in a less touristy area in Oslo. Not the cheapest, but definitely enjoyable and our guide was so patient with us asking a million questions :)

Fun to experience restaurants you might have never tried and learned some of their history. Be open to trying new local foods!

Andreas was a wonderful and enthusiastic guide. There was lots of food, a fair amount of walking, some hills, and it was totally worth every penny.
