In auditions to learning about the history and points of interest of Oslo, my husband and I are always very interested in learning about local politics and social issues.

Waffle wagon … hidden gem in Oslo - We stopped in Oslo on a cruise and booked this walking tour to be able to see Oslo with some history thrown in. We were lucky to have Emilie as our guide. She was wonderful!! Really knows her history and made the morning really fun. She took us by the waffle wagon which was a great treat. Warm waffles with brown cheese … it was amazing. The cheese has a caramel flavor which was unique and very tasty. I definitely recommend this if you are in Oslo and want to see the city!!

An introduction to Oslo - Amalie was a wonderful guide. She picked us up as promised at the tiger in front of Oslo Central Station - her first explanation was why a tiger (tied to the city’s nickname. She then led us on a walk through the harbor and downtown area at a reasonable pace while giving us the key facts about the history of Oslo. She gave us a good recommendation for lunch before leaving us for the day.
