A great overview
Linda_H, Apr 2024
This tour gave us a great overview of the city. Understanding the layout helped us plan for the rest of our start. I highly recommend the tour as a way of learning about and orienting to Oslo.
3 hour highlights tour
Kimberley_J, Mar 2024
We did a private 3 hour tour with Tanya Lisa and were very happy. She showed us the highlights of Oslo city center and gave us some perspective into life in Oslo. After the tour she not only told us how to buy transport tickets to Vigeland park but she actually stayed with us to be sure we got the correct ones. Only having 1 day is Oslo this was a great tour option.
Great tour with Tanya Lisa
Michael_M, Sep 2023
I was in Oslo for business over the week and had no plans for Saturday. I last minute booked a private walking tour with Tanya Lisa and couldn’t have been happier! A native to Oslo and a wealth of information not only did I learn a lot about the city but broader Norwegian culture. She also made sure to point out places I could check out after our tour had completed knowing I had the rest of the day free. We chatted casually as we had our walk about as if I were out with an old friend, a really nice time! Even exchanged some chit chat on my work in the vitamin industry and with some fantastic Norwegian dinner recommendations she had. My only regret was that I was leaving the next day and wish I had more time to explore all of her recommendations. Until next time for sure.
Wonderful walking tour of Oslo
Ashley_M, Aug 2023
Tonia have a wonderful tour of all of Oslo. She accommodated our group of 5 with 3 kids and tram being broken down. We got to see all of the sights, was open to our preferences, and was friendly and efficient. I would recommend her highly.
Vigeland Park was...
Mandira_K, Aug 2023
Vigeland Park was fabulous a must see in Oslo. Opera House and Library is also great!! Good to walk in Oslo
Hustle
Kendal_K, Aug 2023
Helena was knowledgeable and passionate about all the critical sites. A+ in information and feeling like we saw the sights.
Great
IRENE_P, Aug 2023
The guide was very knowledgeable. The best part was the park and I wish we had more time. Meditation by the fountain was not necessary
Fantastic day in Oslo
s2wbsr5nym, Aug 2023
We enjoyed our 4 hour walking tour with Tanya! We saw the highlights of the city of Oslo and the amazing sculpture park. That was our favorite thing! We stopped along the way to enjoy chocolate, coffee, brown cheese and a beer. The walk was a great pace and we enjoyed taking our time and really enjoying the city. Tanya was an excellent guide — the right amount of information. Not too much amd not too little. It was a private tour for four amd much better than a group tour. We would all do it again!
Oslo half day tour
JEANNE_H, Aug 2023
Our guide showed us the 3 historic parts of the city. We saw a lot in 4 hrs including parks. We enjoyed hearing the history and learning our way around from our hotel. She also gave us restaurant recommendations which was appreciated.
Tanya-Lisa is a wonderful guide!
Arun_R, Jul 2023
Tanya-Lisa gave us a comprehensive tour of Oslo over the span of 4 hours. We hit every highlight and also went to some unexpected delights (such as a restaurant that also has detailed descriptions of salmon farming in Norway). Tanya-Lisa is funny, kind, and knowledgeable. We cannot think of a better person to give someone an introduction to Oslo.
Wonderful Oslo overview catered to you!
Erika_M, Jul 2023
I really liked all the historic knowledge Tanya-Lisa had from the beginning of Oslo to current day life. She understood quickly what interested me and also how to tailor the tour to my interests. She has so much energy and enthusiasm about her city and it shows! I recommend her highly!
Much more than expected
Jane_C, Jul 2023
Much more than we expected. Tanya Lisa is a wonderful tour guide. She took us through all of the most beautiful parts of Oslo and left us wanting to come back
Memorable walking tour of Oslo
Dana_E, Jun 2023
Tanya was a most excellent and informed guide for our walking tour of central Oslo with the addon of Vigeland Park. Eager to tailor her route to our interests, and to share her knowledge of the history of the city, as well as economic factors affecting buildings, residents, etc. Lots of recommendations about restaurant that we passed by. Clearly explained the meaning of the art in the Park and what the artist was trying to express, making the entire tour more memorable. Highly recommend. Far exceeded expectations.
Great tour- very informative!
Christopher_S, Jun 2023
TL was a great host, very knowledgeable and professional. She was courteous and accommodating to my questions and requests.
Terrible
Craig_D, May 2023
Been on quite a few city tours. This is not what I expected and I can do better exploring the city by ourselves.
Response from Host, May 2023
I don't know what you mean. I have done this tour many times before, and I have nothing but great reviews. Your tour was made to the same standards. Your wife was very grateful and very happy about the tour.
Great to the highlights of Oslo through the eyes of a local!
Christina_H, May 2023
Learned so much about architecture! Great recommendations for restaurants, music venues on our tour, too. Four hours flew by as we followed a good pace & got to see all the Oslo highlights. Have a list of places to go back to see in more depth.
Fun and informative!
Dorothy_C, Apr 2023
Tanya Lisa showed us the city and shared great stories and information that made the tour come alive. I highly recommend doing a private tour with her!
Nice evening in Oslo
Jorge_G, Mar 2023
All the highlights were good, the park with the statues, the salmon tasting, everything in the city was fantastic!... thanks Tanya-Lisa!
oslo
rebecca_r, Feb 2023
Seeing Oslo through the eyes of a local, and learning about the history as well as modern Oslo was most informative.
TL is the best!
Alan_T, Oct 2022
Our group visited Oslo on a cruise. It was the first time any of us had been to Oslo. Conditions at sea resulted in us having to stay in Oslo two extra days (thankfully!). We were lucky to be paired with TL for our Oslo Highlights Tour with the Vigeland Park add-on. You can tell that TL loves her city. She shared history, fun facts, and candid commentary throughout the tour. We loved her wit! Thanks to TL, Oslo was one of the best stops on our 10-day cruise. We didn't know what to expect from Oslo. We were happy that Oslo turned out to be a clean, modern city with beautiful, well preserved historical buildings. We will definitely be back!
