“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.”
