The fish soup at the first stop (before the 1 hour walking and exploring) was so incredible we went back for dinner (Fiskeriet). Thank you!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 62 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $141Best value

Taste your way through Oslo on a 3.5-hour walking tour, with Mathallen market bites, brunost cheese, waffles, beer, and local stories.

“Alex was a good tour guide and enjoyable company for the duration of the tour. The overall pace of the tour should have been sped up, but I understand that the guide can only go as fast as the slowest person, so that wasn’t Alex’s fault. The tour was a good way to try some Norwegian food, but the high price didn’t necessarily match the quantity of food received.”

“It was a nice tour of a neighborhood that you wouldn't have visited otherwise as a tourist. You should definitely bring enough hunger and wear good comfortable shoes, because there are a few steps to take between meals!

“Great combo history/food tour. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot..l Very informative. The food stops were fantastic. Tanya took us to a salmon fishery company, raising salmon in the fjords attached restaurant, where we got a history lesson on how salmon is raised. We got to sample fiskekaker “fish cakes” and three different prepared salmon 🍣 bites: delicious.
