3 hour highlights tour - We did a private 3 hour tour with Tanya Lisa and were very happy. She showed us the highlights of Oslo city center and gave us some perspective into life in Oslo. After the tour she not only told us how to buy transport tickets to Vigeland park but she actually stayed with us to be sure we got the correct ones. Only having 1 day is Oslo this was a great tour option.

Great tour with Tanya Lisa - I was in Oslo for business over the week and had no plans for Saturday. I last minute booked a private walking tour with Tanya Lisa and couldn’t have been happier! A native to Oslo and a wealth of information not only did I learn a lot about the city but broader Norwegian culture. She also made sure to point out places I could check out after our tour had completed knowing I had the rest of the day free. We chatted casually as we had our walk about as if I were out with an old friend, a really nice time! Even exchanged some chit chat on my work in the vitamin industry and with some fantastic Norwegian dinner recommendations she had. My only regret was that I was leaving the next day and wish I had more time to explore all of her recommendations. Until next time for sure.

Wonderful walking tour of Oslo - Tonia have a wonderful tour of all of Oslo. She accommodated our group of 5 with 3 kids and tram being broken down. We got to see all of the sights, was open to our preferences, and was friendly and efficient. I would recommend her highly.

The best city tour - All you want to know about Oslo. This was probably the best city tour I have ever had. The guide was very knowledgeable and nice - she answered all my questions and made the experience unique and tailored to my interests. I particularly enjoyed walking with her through the central Oslo and feeling like a local. But all the tour was great and I highly recommend it.

Great - The guide was very knowledgeable. The best part was the park and I wish we had more time. Meditation by the fountain was not necessary

Oslo at glance - The City is very beautiful, easy to walk around, thou from scenery I was not in the best time, snow was gone and no flower's yet, but the weather was great. Having a personalized walking tour allows to stop for coffee, buy souvenirs, adapt for what you like most. it was a very short time I had in the City but thanks to this walking tour i got the best glance of Oslo.

Worst tour ever - I have traveled a lot though Europe. I have hired many tour guides. This was something so terrible I can't even describe. We had a woman who I don't even think knows the history of Norway. She made strange remarks like that's not important about statues we would ask about. Would walk away for 5 minutes.
