Loved my tour with Tanya. She was knowledgable, friendly, and had connections with locations that weren’t typical for standard tourist request. I would highly recommend booking a food tour with Tanya of Oslo.Great Oslo tour with Tanya

Tanya was very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us not only the ‘tourist’ sights but also introduced us to local hangouts. She accommodated us with options and adjusted the pace to fit our energy level. Thanks Tanya! 5 hr walking tour of Oslo

As a solo traveler new to Norway, I was searching for a guide who could truly unlock the magic and mysteries of this beautiful country. Tanya Lisa exceeded my expectations on all fronts. Tanya's love and passion for Norway are obvious within five minutes of meeting her. She doesn't just offer tours; she carefully curates experiences that perfectly blend a visitor's interests with her extensive knowledge of Norway's rich history and culture. Her conscientious approach ensures that each tour is unique and meaningful. I was particularly interested in Norwegian cuisine, and Tanya arranged an incredible food tasting tour. We visited six establishments that beautifully showcased the evolution of Nordic food, all the way from the Viking age to the present day. Her ability to tailor such a specific and fascinating experience made my trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Tanya Lisa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated guide.An unforgettable experience

Our tour guide, Tanya Lisa, delivered some of the most quotable lines of our Scandinavian adventure. “What does it cost to live here?” “What do you think?” 🫥 “Where do you recommend buying a Norwegian sweater?” “Norway.” “We’re doing a sailing tour later.” “That’s not really sailing.” Tanya Lisa seemed to us to have what we’ve learned is a typical Norwegian social attitude, which is straightforward and occasionally harsh. I think our conversations just sort of crossed paths in the same directions without quite meeting at a point of really understanding. The variety of food was more or less what we imagined. The first stop was very traditional and memorable. At the last one, her coupons didn’t cover the four cappuccinos she had offered, so we got two cappuccinos and two coffees. We won’t ever forget this tour, but we also wouldn’t recommend it strongly.Real food, real blunt

We arrived to Oslo on a cruise ship but we wanted a smaller private tour of the city. She met us near the ship and did not disappoint. Went spent three hours with her and during that time were walked to three areas of the city. She helped us understand history and the current conditions. She gave us good pointers so that when we went back to points of interest that we made the most of the time we had in the city. She was knowledge and pleasant. We had a good tour and it fulfilled our expectations. It was nice to step away from the crowds of the cruise ship and do something at own on pace that focused on our interest. Great introduction to Oslo

Tanya Lisa did a terrific job. We arrange a tour of Vigeland Park, and her knowledge and passion was apparent. The park is beautiful but can be overwhelming. It was great getting an overview of the park along with specific details regarding the various sculptures. If you want an in-depth tour of the park, Tanya Lisa is a terrific choice.Loved her knowledge and passion

Tanya explored areas that we hadn't seen on prior Oslo tours and really gave us a wonderful perspective of life and food in Oslo. The local spots and traditional Norwegian foods were exactly what we were hoping to explore. She is a native Norwegian so also shared many historical facts and her good conversation resulted in the time passing very quickly. In fact, Since she wanted us to see as much as possible, she volunteered to stay with us longer than planned.New Experiences in Oslo

Tanya Lisa has a decidedly local perspective on all things Norway and Oslo. We enjoyed a special hangout for a coffee where se shared local chocolate, brown cheese and bread. The decor was amazing, a quite place to reflect and view many photos of Oslo from years past. We shared two types of "hot dogs" on flat bread (?), gratefully *not* buns we'd seen elsewhere. We were also were taken to an exceptional fish and meat store on the waterfront. There the owner gave us several different slices of sausages and salmon to enjoy, describing each with the family care put into the preparation of each. A true delight of senses, both visual and taste. Tanya, was perhaps a bit too enthusiastic, walking and talking quickly, but then again she offered many times to slow, we just couldn't because we were very interested in everything she had to say about the local foods, history, and culture. Be prepared to walk 6+ miles with her, she's a real dynamo!Great day of tasting and learning
