Interesting facts and great food! - This 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!

Good value and great way to see parts of Olso you wouldn't normally see - We started with going to a fish restaurant where we had typical Norwegian fare - smoked salmon, shrimp salad, pickled oysters, cod cakes -all were excellent. We then moved on to a typical waffle shop where we had waffles with cream cheese, strawberry jam and brown cheese - sounds skeptical but was very good. We then we to a farm to table restaurant where we had a plate of smoked trout, pickled vegetables and bread and butter - very good. We ended with going to a brewery which was the only miss as we didn't enjoy any of the beer. The tour guide was great and brought to neighborhoods that gave us a feel for the Oslo community

Prima guided tour - Great tour. Nice combination of learning more about city and some food. You may also choose to offer vegan consciously as a climate-conscious option. Also great way to meet other tourists.
