Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The tour was very fun. Jon & Martin were our guides. We learned a lot about the fjord islands and they also adapted the tour to the individual needs of the participants. My highlight was the jump in the warm fjord during heavy rain with our guide Jon!

    Maria was the best guide. She packed so much interesting history into a three hour walk and made it so much fun. We knew exactly how to plan the rest of our stay in Oslo with her advice. Highly recommend.

    All you want to know about Oslo. This was probably the best city tour I have ever had. The guide was very knowledgeable and nice - she answered all my questions and made the experience unique and tailored to my interests. I particularly enjoyed walking with her through the central Oslo and feeling like a local. But all the tour was great and I highly recommend it.

    Bimala was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She took us as per our request on a "off the beaten track" tour of the Town (East Side, Food Market, Grünnerlokka, Rodelokka, etc.), which we very much enjoyed.

    We spent a beautiful day with Marcela as our smiling guide of Oslo. As she had a good sense of humor, and showed us the Oslo’s main landmarks,  it was our favorite tour in this large trip so far. She was very kind , profissional and knowledgeable as presented us the more interesting topics of the Norwegian history, always related to culture of this reagion. Thanks again for all the tips about other spots we visited later by ourselves, Marcela!

    This tour was exceptional and individualized to our preferences. We knew nothing about the city or where to even go, yet Marta met us at our hotel near Central Station and took us on 2hr adventure that included walking past the Cathedral, Royal Palace, Nobel Peace Museum, Opera House (among many other sites) and walking through the Fortress and the Library. The library was recently awarded best library in the world. Marta knew all about what makes it so special and it was a highlight of our tour. Overall Marta was the best tour guide we have ever had. She was so knowledgeable and made us feel like VIPs. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and Marta.

    One of the instructions for the next spot was probably wrong or at best very unclear. Otherwise a fun way to get to know the city and its history. The riddles aren't very challenging.

    This was definitely worth the small fee, but a little bit of a pain to download the app. Once we did, though, it was really nice to hear a bit about what we were walking past. Added value to the experience!

    The guide was amazing - the only thing that made the tour great. The weateher was horrible, so we were limited in our travels. However, the reason I am giving a average is because I booked this because I wanted to do the Viking Musuem and the tour guide told me and said that the museum has been closed and will be closed for 2 more years. I explained that was the main reason for my booking. Then I told the agency that I had a baby with us, and the tour guide said that information was never given. She was informational, kind and friendly. I was so upset and that the tour was not as described.

    Our guide, AnnaMaria, was a delightful, lovely person. She was so informative about the landmarks and the history of the sights of Oslo. She added lots of recommendations about great places to eat, get coffee, or find waffles! She answered all of our questions and provided the personal insight that makes this kind of tour so worthwhile. .

    I downloaded it directly from App Store so its a little cheaper than via trip advisor. But thanks to Trip Advisor I found this lovely app!
    Walked from Central station to the starting point and passed by a lot of places that the audio tour guided. I don’t know if there’s a function in the app to start the tour in the middle which would be better, but it’s still enjoyable. At least I know the way/roads more clearly having walked past once before the tour.
    There’s a voice showing up telling me I might have gone to wrong direction from time to time but actually I’m going towards the correct direction, so I guess the GPS sometimes malfunctions a little bit.

    Mira's Photogenic Spots tour in Oslo was a picture-perfect tour. This tour the city allowed us to get some incredible shots and appreciate Oslo's beauty in a new way. We can't thank her enough for this wonderful experience.
