From History to Bites—Oslo Done Right
Melissa K,Apr 3, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00An unforgettable afternoon exploring Oslo through its flavors and stories. This food tour was the perfect blend of local cuisine and rich history—each stop thoughtfully curated and every bite telling a story of Norway’s culture. What truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Marianna. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the afternoon with an old friend—warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought the city to life with insights you simply wouldn’t discover on your own. Despite the Easter holiday, she went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t miss a thing—offering thoughtful recommendations and making adjustments so the experience felt seamless and special. If you’re looking to truly connect with Oslo—its people, its history, and its food—this tour is an absolute must.
Fun and tasty.

5.00We really enjoyed the walking tour and the food was delicious. You need to come hungry as the tasting portions add up to a full meal.
Interesting and tasty.

5.00Had guide Marianna who was lovely and informative. Food and drinks were delicious and away from the more touristic areas. I wish I had gone earlier in my holiday so I could return to some of the restaurants.
Great tour!

5.00I was traveling with my friend and we both had a great time during this tour! We really appreciated the conversation, information provided about different locations that we would pass, and the food/beverages that were provided. We would highly recommend this tour if coming to Oslo. Do it early so you have an opportunity to check out some of the other suggestions that your guide might give you for Oslo!
Great food; Tour without beer more ideal

3.00Food aspects were fantastic! Given the group of 3 of us were non beer drinkers, the beer stop was a bust. Embarrassingly, we left 5 of 6 glasses full minus a tiny sip or two. Given this, the guide should have the ability to buy bottles of sparkling water or juice. Or, empower/allow the guide to offer the group the ability to pivot and go to a bar with liquor, a coffee shop, a bakery, etc.
Excellent food, subpar experience

3.00The food was good, the experience itself was not as integrated as other food tours I’ve been on. For instance my husband and I were not introduced to the group, there were two people in the group who were training I think? But we were never introduced so I’m not sure. Also when we arrived for the tour we were rushed, the guide acted like we were late, when we were not.
Tour Guide is Rude and Hates Americans

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Guide was very rude and unprofessional, didn’t really know what she was talking about, and very anti-American. She interrupted and argued with people on the tour. Didn’t come to Norway to talk about US politics. Food was good but you can have the same food with a better guide.
Fun food tour

5.00Great tour of Oslo. Lisa gave lots of great information about both the history of the city and the Norwegian culture. She gave great recommendations of things to do in the city. The food was delicious and it was fun trying things I otherwise would not have.
A tour of the essence of Oslo

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.
