    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 :)

  • Small and tasty restaurants

    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.
