“I had an amazing time with Luis as the guide on 13/03/25. Despite weather conditions being incredibly challenging with blowing snow and low visibility, he was upfront about the situation right from the very beginning and let it be a group decision whether to continue or return to Tromso. We decided together to continue and Luis guided us through the stops with knowledge and a clear passion for the area. We were able to make the best of all of them despite not being able to see very much, before stopping for waffles in a nice hotel because we couldn't do a fire on the beach. On the way back,…”

Spend three hours walking from Oslo’s Tiger sculpture through Youngstorget and Grünerløkka, stopping for fish soup, Norwegian specialties, and waffles with brown cheese. Small groups of up to 10 make it easy to chat with guides such as Idunn, Annie, or Margarita. Expect hills, good shoes, and drinks purchased separately.

“We loved our tour with Eden! It really fits the description - tucked away treats and history in Oslo that you would never stumble upon otherwise, and while still in Oslo it was nice to have a few quieter hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. We had excellent food and felt the walking amount was very reasonable. Key to know that the tour ends about 25-30 minute walk from where it starts, so either just prepare for that ahead of time or plan to catch the tram back into town! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!”

We got to try a fish soup, three kinds of salad, and waffles at various stops. I never would have visited the parts of the city we went to on the tour, which was perfect.”

“Point positif le soleil, la mer calme de jolis paysages. Par contre appeler cela safari et voir 2 crânes dans un aquarium d’une usine de poisson c’est mensonger. De plus le samedi l’usine et fermée = zéro activité. Au vu du prix il vaut mieux éviter cette sortie sauf si on a de l’argent à jeter par la fenêtre. Vraiment très très décevant”

We then were treated to a roaring fire in a teepee with a sample of Norwegian food and hot and cold drinks. The family joined us and told us some of the history and stories of the family farm. I felt I learned so much about Norway and how people make their living. I would definitely recommend this tour. The family operating this tour was awesome.”
