4.A Well Balanced History and Food Tour with Focus on the Scandinavian Kitchen

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Walk Oslo’s historic center with guide Tanya-Lisa while tasting salmon, fish soup, local meats, beer, and traditional Norwegian treats.

“Our tour guide Tanya-Lisa was an exceptional tour guide. Very attentive to our needs. Very knowledgeable about the history of Oslo. She was extremely patient with us, especially when we couldn’t decide what we wanted to do. Tanya-Lisa was also very sensitive to some of us in the group needing to stop and rest on the walking tour. Tanya-Lisa also took us to the once a year market that wasn’t included on the itinerary. She is definitely a tour guide I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great experience in Oslo!”
