“This is a great little walking tour that takes you to a part of the city other tours do not. Lisa, our guide, has a lot of interesting facts to share as well as tips of other places to see. The food was great. A little heavy on the seafood for me, but the farm to table restaurant and the waffles were awesome!”

“We had an amazing experience in Bergen with ILZE. She picked-up us from the airport and showed all the best location and must see attractions in just a few hours from city walk to a short hike. We experienced Bergen as per our comfort and Ilze shared a lot of stories about the city's history and its culture. She helped us in taking some beautiful pictures too. We highly recommend Ilze and this tour.”

Review of Oslo’s snowy forest torchlight walk, with metro views, campfire treats, practical tips, costs, and honest advice on who should book.
“Such a wonderful, memorable experience. The landscape up in the forest and the views of the city below are beautiful, and walking through snowy trees by torchlight was so cool. Toasting marshmallows over a campfire with a hot chocolate was the perfect touch before setting off for the walk. Miles is a brilliant guide, he made sure everything was safe and ran smoothly, plus he’s a top gent and great to chat to. No complaints whatsoever, this is an absolute must if you’re in Oslo and want to see more than just the usual city attractions!”

Review of Oslo’s Grünerløkka food and culture walk, with wild game, waffles, river views, local history, practical tips, and value advice.
“Our guide Shaf was very patient considering our group was highly engaged in enquiry and banter 😂 While Grunerlokka was only less than 2 kms away from Oslo City Center, the vibe was totally different - reserved and quiet, but also eclectic. Learned about the neighborhood’s peasant history and how this flows with the Norway’s economy and industry. Food selection could be better. I was thinking of meat and smorrebrod considering that Grunerlokka was the then industrial area that housed the factories and living quarters - the need for heavy food was imminent. Nonetheless, this tour is worth doing while in Oslo ☺️”
