Fascinating tour around Oslo! - From the moment we started, our guide Ann Marie brought the city to life with fascinating insights into its rich history. It was incredible to learn about how Oslo has evolved over time, and hearing stories about its people like the royal family, Henrik Ibsen (playwright), and Edvard Munch (artist). We enjoyed going into the Opera House and strolling around. She also told us about changing of the guards in front of Palace, which happened after our tour so great timing. Awesome time in a small group with our guide. She made it fun, engaging, and educational.

Easy walking tour - This is a great tour for a crash course in history for the main area. We were so cold from the wind, but that was ok us. She did a great job explaining the sites we did go to. I dont think this is for kids, just adults. We did enjoy what we saw.

Poor service from Viatour - We were given the wrong location for the English speaking tour on our tickets so we missed the tour. We have requested multiple times for a refund but Viatour has refused to give us a refund despite proof on our tickets. Possible glitch in sign-up on the web site which gives two locations to meet the tour when in reality each location is for a tour in a specific language. Our tickets did say English speaking tour but for the German speaking tour location. I have used Viatour on several occasions before and had been happy with my experiences. I was surprised at the lack of follow up service on this particular tour.
