Very much enjoyed our time with Karlis. He seemed to understand us and our requirements and took us to some interesting places - ending up in a food hall (we would never have found on our own!) full of local delicacies and restaurants Great guided walk

We really enjoyed our 3 hour walk around Oslo with Marcela. It was clear that she knew the city but she also talked about the culture, living in Norway, problems and politics so we had a real insight into the city. And Marcela is delightful company. Really recommend her services. Knowledgable and charming guide

Karlis is friendly, has a good sense of humour, and very informative on the tour. He suggested lovely places to visit. My family were very much at ease, he didn’t mind us interrupting him to ask questions at anytime of the tour.Friendly, fun and informative

Karlis is an extremely warm and knowledgeable guide about Oslo and the food scene. He is so adaptable to what you really want to experience in food. My husband wanted to try traditional local game meats and Karlis took us to a high end food emporium for a local traditional meat experience of reindeer stew and moose burgers. He also exposed us to the local traditional spirits and plenty of local beers. Great person to talk to regarding the culture and people living in and around Oslo. Don’t expect a lot of very traditional Norwegian food because they enjoy Indian, Italian and Tacos. Highly recommend.A great way to experience Oslo

We had a wonderful tour with Karlis. He was patient (some of our group overslept from jetlag), knowledgable, and entertaining. He was able to share a true taste of Norwegian culture without being stuffy or boring. Karlis was spectacular!

We have not used WithLocals before for booking guides etc. the process was smooth and communication with Karlis from beginning to end was excellent. Karlis was well prepared and made reservations at the various establishments we would visit. Everywhere we went was fantastic - he made excellent choices and selections for us. He’s very personable, fun to have a guide and give us tips for what to see once we departed. I’d recommend him for any guided tours your planning. Good times with Karlis!

Whoever says Norwegians are cold hasn’t met Karlis, he was right on time, came right to our hotel and brought us coffees ! He even started the tour a whole hour earlier to show us some sites around the city. He custom tailors each tour depending on what you want to eat and leaves a direct line open if you have any questions about anything Oslo after you part ways with him. He wrote down restaurants and sites for us and even brought us a tourist map. When you calculate how much the food costs and how much he has to give to the website you find that the tour is positively cheap. We spent 4+ hours with him and were sorry when we had to part ways. Highly recommend ! Spend your day with Karlis!

Karlis was a wonderful guide who exceeded my expectation for an off the beaten path tour of Oslo. We saw everything we wanted to see while is Oslo and items we didn’t expect. Karlis was a gem and certainly worth booking with as his knowledge and flexibility was priceless on our recent tour of Oslo. We would absolutely book with him again.Exploring Oslo

We appreciate so much when we get to enjoy a host like Michal! He was effectively communicative leading up to our tour and he went ABOVE and BEYOND to provide us with so much more than we expected! Some of the things we ate were genuinely some of the best foods we’ve had in our lives! My advice to his future groups, let him know if you don’t eat seafood. Fortunately, we are adventurous eaters and we love seafood, which is abundant in Norway. Anyway, thank you Michal! You’re a credit to WithLocals hosts and we can only hope our future hosts feed us as well as you did! Hope to eat and drink with you again!The Amazing Michal!

Michal had a backpack full of Norwegian treats. He took us to some wonderful spots to enjoy
Norwegian cuisine. His personality is outgoing and friendly. He was willing to change our plans to fit our wishes. Unique and better than we expected.

The guide was unprofessional, there was little to no information about the city and the overall offer was absolutely not worth the money. Absolute negative experience
