100% recommend - After getting so cold during the day, the thought of spending 2 hours on the cold was almost too much but so glad I did! Great tour guide and really enjoyed all the information. Felt really special walking around the city in the dark hearing all the stories. Would definitely recommend . There are lots of cobbles so for those who find it hard walking or pushing a pram on this o wouldn't recommend but I'm sure if you let the guide know they would take this into account

Super interesting and enjoyable - Really enjoyed this tour, lots of easy walking and interesting stories. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and friendly. Sometimes the commentary seemed a bit up for personal interpretation so maybe more information based in research would be good. All in all we really enjoyed the tour and came out of it with lots of cool knowledge about the city and its stories.

Interesting tour of Oslo but did not meet expectations - This was a lovely tour with an excellent enthusiastic guide. He was so enthusiastic he often started telling stories before the whole group had caught up! Speaking of stories they weren't really that dark. Still interesting but not the vibe we expected.
