Fun food tour - Great tour of Oslo. Lisa gave lots of great information about both the history of the city and the Norwegian culture. She gave great recommendations of things to do in the city. The food was delicious and it was fun trying things I otherwise would not have.

A tour of the essence of Oslo - Excellent cultural activity where we had the opportunity to taste various Norwegian dishes, desserts and drinks, as well as to pass through some less touristic but of great interest places. Our guide was very friendly and competent.

Excellent food & history tour. - Lisa was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Norway and Oslo. The food was really excellent, the waffle with brown cheese and also the venison were a standout for us. We were the only 2 on our tour so were given a VIP experience, we would recommend doing this tour if you are in Oslo.

Excellent tour. - Definitely worth it. Some good history and a nice walk through neighborhoods learning about buildings, fairy tales, modern life and even the royals. The food was delicious and a great way to pull it all together. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Tour Guide is Rude and Hates Americans - Guide was very rude and unprofessional, didn’t really know what she was talking about, and very anti-American. She interrupted and argued with people on the tour. Didn’t come to Norway to talk about US politics. Food was good but you can have the same food with a better guide.

Don't book this - We arrived 10 minutes early at the planned meeting place. We waited another 30 minutes but the tour guide was a no show. We had been really looking forward to this experience, so we're so disappointed. It also means we had to look elsewhere for lunch. This was planned for our last day but instead it wasted our last day as it was too late to book anything else instead. Also it was quite expensive.
