5.00Excellent cultural activity where we had the opportunity to taste various Norwegian dishes, desserts and drinks, as well as to pass through some less touristic but of great interest places. Our guide was very friendly and competent.

5.00Lisa was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Norway and Oslo. The food was really excellent, the waffle with brown cheese and also the venison were a standout for us. We were the only 2 on our tour so were given a VIP experience, we would recommend doing this tour if you are in Oslo.
Great tour!

1.00We arrived 10 minutes early at the planned meeting place. We waited another 30 minutes but the tour guide was a no show. We had been really looking forward to this experience, so we're so disappointed. It also means we had to look elsewhere for lunch. This was planned for our last day but instead it wasted our last day as it was too late to book anything else instead. Also it was quite expensive.
fantastic tour , fun, flavorful and a must-do for anyone visiting Oslo

5.00Saw the pictures of the waffles and decided to book the tour. Arrived early at the meeting spot to see the tour guide was there. They made introductions and we were quick to set off. The food was all local with a story behind the origin of each spot. They also gave us some of the history behind Oslo as we moved between spots. It was easy to make conversation with the guides themselves. Every place I’d recommend to family and friends to eat. They wouldn’t be something I’d pick out for myself and my partner to go for lunch or dinner. We definitely feel like we’ve got our moneys worth.
