Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Tanya is a lovely person with a great sense of humor and deep knowledge about the city she clearly loves. On our tour we strolled through important areas of the city with Tanya providing historical and cultural context. We had no problem communicating in English. She was flexible and willing to accommodate our wishes. Her tour provided an excellent basis for further explorations on our own."
"I selected Ihor because he was a mature person. He took me all over the city at a pace that fit. I am 81, so it required a little slower pace. He gave me a very comprehensive view of the city and provided me with an excellent lunch. He was able to give me insight into what it is like to be a citizen of Norway under the current system of government. He was also able to point up some details that I certainly would have missed on my own."
"Igor was wonderful. He has an enormous wealth of knowledge which made the tour so interesting. He took us to areas that we would not have known anything about. Highly recommend touring with Igor. "
"I highly recommend the five hour walking tour in Oslo Norway with Cecilia WithLocals. She is a kind and knowledgeable guide, who takes time to learn your interest, and Taylor’s the walking tour to areas and neighborhoods that you would like to see. We went off the beaten track through parks, cemeteries, immigrants neighborhoods, as well as seeing the major attractions. It was time well spent with a very nice person."

"Our tour with Rodrigo was absolutely fantastic—time flew by! He’s a true language talent, effortlessly connecting with every member of our group. Not only did he show us the classic must-see spots in Oslo, but he also took us to hidden gems off the typical tourist path. What stood out was his deep knowledge, both historical and up-to-date, which he shared in a relaxed and engaging way. We learned so much and left feeling inspired. The pace was perfect, and he even thoughtfully included a bathroom break—no detail was overlooked. Rodrigo made the experience feel personal and special. If you want a tour that’s both informative and fun, with a guide who genuinely cares, book with Rodrigo. Highly recommended!"
"10/10 It doesn’t come any better . And with good weather ofcourse. Very nice experience. Thank you Marcela . Grtz. Ossi . Belgium. "
"Tanya was friendly, knowledgeable and full of great stories. The tour was well‑paced, insightful, and full of local touches that made it very nice."
"Knowledgeable and passionate about her city. The 5 hour tour flew by. "
"We had already been to Oslo 3 years ago so we decided to get a guide for a more detailed visit of the city. Ihor was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Oslo. The weather was perfect so it made our tour even better."
"We very much enjoyed Marcela’s tour. She quickly tuned into our group of six and struck the right balance with humour and enthusiasm but was really informative and able to answer our various questions. Her passion for the city and for her adopted country is infectious. Our final stop at the main library was a highlight that we’d probably have missed if she hadn’t guided us there. What an asset! Thankyou for sharing this incredible place with us. "
