“What a great experience we had with our guide, Frida. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Bergen history and shared so many stories about the places we visited. The food we sampled was wonderful and we went back to two of the places we visited the next day for meals. Thank you, Frida!”
Taste Norway through wild game, waffles, and Grünerløkka river walks from Mathallen. 2.5 hours, plenty of food and beer.

Small-group Tromsø fjords and beaches with campfire reindeer sausage, fresh chai, wildlife spotting, and personal stories on Kvaløya.
“We had a wonderful day out with Luis as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and informative throughout. However if you are at the back of the minibus you have to really strain to hear everything he says above the noise of the engine. I don't know if a small microphone is possible? He took us to some amazing places with lovely views and photo opportunities which we really enjoyed. Some of these places were definitely challenging due to ice, the depth of the snow and the unevenness of the ground underneath, so just be aware of this and the need to dress appropriately! The beach area was especially beautiful…”
Tromsø northern lights hunt with small group, campfire reindeer sausage, fresh chai, and included photo help plus arctic warmth gear.
“We enjoyed a wonderful evening chasing the lights with Martin and Arlo. They explained everything clearly and took us to two different locations as it was very windy and cloudy at the first. We saw the lights at the second and had plenty of time to take photos and enjoy them. Then, on the way home, Martin suddenly announced that there was an ‘explosion’ in the sky. He found a safe place to stop and we were all able to capture the amazing spectacle. This flexibility and desire for us to enjoy the experience was fantastic! Wonderful reindeer sausages and hot tea too. We would 100% recommend.”
3-hour guided food walk in Ålesund with small-group tastings, Art Nouveau photo stops, and a cod-forward finish at local eateries.
“The food tour was amazing! Monica was the best. She is a local and gave such great information about the city. It was our favorite food tour we have ever done.”
Small-group Oslo food walk with creamy fish soup, farm-to-table lunch, brown-cheese waffles, and off-the-beaten-path streets in 3 hours.
“This is tough to review as we had a decent time, but it is not what one would expect on a food and hidden gems tour. We visited 3 places, no beverages were included besides tap water and learned nothing of this great city. Even many of our questions (i.e. the significance of the tiger statue at the train station) could not be answered and no talk about the history of Norway/Oslo, the waterfront development, why they consistently rank as one of the happiest countries... There was also little discussion about the types of food we were eating.”
A 3-hour Oslo food-and-walk tour with creamy fish soup, smoked trout, waffle and more, plus river sights and local side streets.
“The tour was very nice and we had a chance to see such beautiful scenery. We got the chance to explore areas of Oslo we wouldn’t have otherwise, and I was so surprised to see a waterfall in the city. My only regret was that we didn’t book our tour earlier. We got great recommendations on places to visit, but our flight was the next day.”
3-hour guided food walk in Ålesund with 5 tastings, Art Nouveau sights, and Norwegian sea flavors for $83.
“Warm and friendly guide, great selection of norwegian food. highly recommended”
Chase the Northern Lights outside Tromsø in a small group with thermal suits, hot food and drinks, and guided photo tips.
“We recommended this turn for anyone that wants to see the northern light , the spot was amazing we get lucky to see many of them with a perfect weather. I want to thank a lot our guide, for taking care of us moreover transmitting all his knowledge about nature , and about his great love of Norway. Thanks to his organisation every thing that we planned has been successfully reached”
Taste Oslo’s classics on a guided walk: Akerselva riverside views, Mathallen market bites, beer, aquavit, and a brown-cheese waffle.
“Kevin was outstanding! Very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite was the fish dinner. The tour was well organized and we barely waited for our food. Not sure how to improve 😊”
Oslo’s Grünerløkka food walk with six sweet and savory tastings, coffee or beer, street art stories, and a small group vibe.
“We had a wonderful time with Mathias. Not only did we have the opportunity to sample a wide variety of food and drink, he shared information about the city in historical context. He was well-prepared and very considerate of the group’s needs.”
A 3-hour Oslo walk that pairs Norwegian history with Scandinavian food stops, from the opera to Akershus Fortress, with tasting extras.
“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!”
3-hour Tromsø food walk with fish tastings, a church exterior history stop, an art snack break, and a full lunch.
“This is one of the best food tours I have ever taken! It was a wonderful experience to sample so many foods from the region. Daniel does an outstanding job engaging the foodies. I loved it!”
Tromsø fjords and Arctic beaches with Sommarøy, Grotfjord viewpoints, campfire and warm Arctic food. Small group, thermo suits.
“Alba and Martin are very nice Tour Guides who told us many interesting things about norwegian and Sami Culture and the history of life around Tromsø. However, the Tour was not what we hoped for following the description. It‘s probably great for tourists staying in town without a rental car, but for people who are mobile and exploring the area on their own, too, it offered no ‚secret places‘ you can‘t find on your own (following the main roads). We saw no animals other than the reindeer beside the road which are there every day. The guides took no professional photos, as we expected from other ratings and the name…”
A 3-hour Oslo walking food and beer tour from the Nobel Peace Center, pairing pastries, aquavit, dinner, and five craft beer tastings.
