Outstanding Walking Tour with an Exceptional Guide - This tour is highly recommended. My colleague and I were in Oslo on a familiarization trip and had some free time. We came across this walk somewhat by chance, and while we had some general knowledge of Oslo, it was nowhere near this level. We were met by our wonderful guide, Sandra, from Oslo Guidebureau at the Oslo Visitor Centre. She was an outstandingly professional guide with an impressive depth of knowledge about Oslo. Originally from Switzerland, she has lived in Norway and Oslo for many years, which gave her a unique and well-balanced perspective. The tour gave us real insight into Oslo’s transformation from its historical roots to the modern city it is today. Sandra took us to places we would never have discovered on our own and delivered an engaging, well-structured, and genuinely fascinating tour throughout. If you are visiting Oslo and want to experience the city beyond the surface, this tour comes highly recommended. A big thank you to our guide for a memorable experience!

Super nice tour! - Hello from Uruguay! We joined this tour as part of the Oslo Pass we purchased with my wife. We visited the more diverse part of the city, got to see The Mother (a big sculpture next to the Munch Museum) and ended up in the Opera House, whose roof is completely walkable and gives you a beautiful view of the city. This was the last tour we joined and we were very happy to see our guide Erik again. Highly recommend this tour!

Oslo in a new lighting! - Rune gave is a new and different perspective over the city, in a passionate and most interesting way imaginable. The contrasts and the change over the years brought a new dimension to our knowledge of the city. Rune introduced us to a Brand new Oslo, very gratefull mother and daughter from Portugal.

Lovely evening spent with Rune - Rune was our guide and arrived at the Visitor Center 20 minutes before the walk began. He made the tour engaging by sharing stories about immigration in the 1970s, old Oslo, and the architectural developments and landmarks like the Munch Museum, Opera House, and the Library. Time flew by without us noticing. We finished the tour at the library, visited the "Silent Room," and then headed over to SALT for dinner.
