Fantastic Oslo - with Amitylux! - Our tour was truly wonderful! Francis was so personable and so knowledgeable! We loved his friendly easy style and his extensive knowledge of Norway’s history! He was so easy going and made 3 hours go past in what seemed like minutes!

Best tour guide in Oslo - We had a terrific Oslo city walking tour with Francis! He's an excellent guide - very knowledgeable about the city and its history, but more importantly he has great instincts for how much information we can take in at any point during the tour. He keeps it very conversational and talked WITH us rather than TO us. I'd highly recommend this tour, with Francis, to anyone visiting Oslo!

Oslo history and attractions from a real expert - Francis is an Oslo native who very much enjoys teaching and showing this beautiful city. He was at the meeting point early as was I. He greeted each of us and learned a bit about us. I readily admitted I did not know much about Oslo, was eager to learn and to plan my itinerary for the rest of my trip. While showing us the city highlights, he would ask what we may be interested in further and gave us ideas to come back to. For me personally he dictated a tram trip to outside the city and a walk back in. I came away with a satisfying understanding of how Norway and Oslo has become such a beautiful and happy place. I highly recommend this tour as early in your trip as possible.

Best Oslo walking tour - Ludo was one of the best guides we have ever enjoyed a tour with - he was incredibly knowledgable about both contemporary and historical life in Olso and the broader Norway and his experience of living all over the world gave him the unique ability to contrast and enrich his commentary. Ludo adjusted the itinerary to our interests and set a good walking pace, so that we were able to see Oslo’s highlights. I highly recommend this tour and thank Ludo.

GREAT CITY OVERVIEW! - I joined the Amitylux 3-hour small group tour while in Oslo for a business trip, and it was a great surprise. The tour was super informative and gave me a solid feel for the city in a short amount of time. The guide kept things clear, engaging, and easy to follow. If you’re in Oslo for work and want to learn a lot quickly, this is a perfect option.
