My wife and I had a great private tour with Tanya Lisa on a Sunday afternoon. She was promptly on-time; started off at warp speed and never let-up. She gave us a quick orientation overview, and even from the outset was listening to our questions and wants. We then went on a whirlwind tram tour of the major sites we wanted to see, getting far more done than I could have imagined. She was terrifically knowledgeable about the city -- historically, artistically, physically, and functionally -- and gave us a plethora of recommendations and suggestions for touring, shopping and eating. All in, we would highly recommend Tanya Lisa. High-speed high-quality highlights tour

The tour was a great mix of food, history and culture. We tried different types of local delicacies and unique desserts while learning the history behind each food item. Tanya knows Oslo as the back of her hand and shared great recommendations on where to go during our stay while ensuring we were making the most of the tour. Exploring Oslo with a local

70 minutes into a walk (with an unexpected dead end in a military base, a detour, a locked stairway and Tanya questioning the honesty of a kind hearted local) we had a taste of Norwegian proteins. Tanya was knowledgeable with regards to Norwegian culture, customs, and architecture, but failed at working with us and reading obvious signals that we wanted to pivot her (poorly-choreographed) tour in other ways. We even outright asked for changes which she chided away. We were a group of four (which included 3 adults and an 9yr old). At multiple times during the tour we requested to pivot or make stops, and she was abrasive, dismissive or steering in alternate directions. She ordered and pushed food on us which we clearly had no interest in further consuming. Simply put, if a group has tried a food and doesn’t want to consume it further, don’t go into a diatribe about how Norwegians don’t waste food… we didn’t want more sour cream soup, or molded sliced beef. I’ve been on 6+ food tours in other European cities (within the last 4 years), all with positive experiences, and all at costs lower than this (per person). I even discussed other tour experiences with Tanya and she reflected that “people do not typically take food tours in Oslo.” Okay… then why are you representing to be an expert in doing just that? I wanted to just forget about the experience. Write it off… but it’s been bothering me 900€ and a week later. I honestly think that if you are an older group and are doing an architecture or city tour you would have a fine, educational time with Tanya. That said, I don’t think there is merit in her giving a food tour. Guide and food… not for us
