5.00We had an excellent tour with Sheenam on October 1st. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and took great pains to explain the history of the city, the significance of various buildings and places, and even introduced us to some delicious local food. I would rate our tour as "Excellent" and wish Sheenam all the very best for the future.
We had a wonderful time...

5.00Sheenam was our walking tour guide. She was a good communicator before the tour, prompt to meet us, and gave interesting history and facts about Oslo and its art and architecture. She also very kindly offered ideas for shopping and dining, and was super hospitality focused on helping us make the most of our short trip. Highly recommend this generous overview of Oslo city center sights!
A great overview of oslo in a day!

5.00A very nice overview of Oslo! We visited many of the hot spots and a few off the beaten path and learned a lot along the way. Sheenam was very knowledgeable and took the time to share with us what life in Oslo is like. We also loved that she is a wonderful photographer.
Highly Recommend

5.00Sheanam was on time, well prepared, and very enthusiastic. You could tell she had researched the sites we visited. She was very helpful on shopping tips from souvenirs to curling irons. She even exceeded the tour time because we had so many questions and we visited so many things.

5.00Our guide Sheeman was very knowledgeable and shared a wonderful blend of Oslo highlights and local culture (the library near the Opera House was an unexpected but amazing place to see). It was a perfect first day in this lovely city.

5.00Sheenam, our guide for this tour, helped us understand how Oslo has developed into the vibrant city it is today. We walked all over the city, visiting the most important and popular sites, sampled some street food, and saw the changing of the guard. It was a magical tour-Sheenam thank you so much !!!
Neil was the best ever!!

5.00Marianne, our guide is excellent. She is friendly and knowledgeable. We have walking difficulty and our pace is slow. She skillfully modified our itinerary but covered all the important and interesting places.
