It’s all about the guide!! - We had one day cruise stop in Oslo and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. This walking tour hit all of the major sights in the city centre. Our guide, Tetiana, made the tour exceptional. She was funny, charming and incredibly knowledgeable about Norwegian history and culture. She emigrated from Ukraine 12 years ago and has fully integrated herself into Oslo life. She’s a great advertisement for Norway. And a fine example of what immigrants can add to a city.
