Excellent 2hr walking tour with Anastasia, covering many key landmarks, buildings, history and modern day developments. Delivered in excellent English with humour thrown in! Thoroughly recommend, thanks Ben & Natalie.

Our guide was great, providing a lot of information in an easy to absorb format. I liked the variety of information and sights provided and felt it set me up well to explore independently afterwards. For those who may have mobility issues, please note winter tours in Oslo may be difficult as sidewalks aren’t guaranteed to be cleared of snow. Guide was accommodating, but my sister who is in a wheelchair ended up cutting tour short due to difficulty.
