Fun and worthwhile tour with delicious food. Thanks, Casper!

5.00Booking the tour was easy and the directions to the start were accurate. My wife and I were the only customers on the tour and our guide was Casper. He is really friendly and knowledgeable. It was like being shown around Oslo by a new friend. He gave us some history about Oslo and the couple of tourist sites and neighbourhoods that we stopped at but not intense/dry historical facts. He kept it light and interesting. (I really like history but this isn't advertised as a purely historical tour so the balance was good.) The food at each stop was very well chosen for variety and quality. We really enjoyed it all. When you spend a few hours with somebody, especially in a very small group, it's really important that that person has good people skills and makes you relaxed and makes the experience enjoyable. Casper is a great guide, he really made the experience fun. Compared to some tours in other European countries we have visited it seems quite expensive but considering the quality of the food, and the high cost of stuff in Oslo in general, we found this tour 100% worth the money. Casper didn't make us feel rushed at all. Thanks, Casper! We would recommend this to visitors to Oslo.
It was a good tour...

5.00This is a great little walking tour that takes you to a part of the city other tours do not. Lisa, our guide, has a lot of interesting facts to share as well as tips of other places to see. The food was great. A little heavy on the seafood for me, but the farm to table restaurant and the waffles were awesome!
