★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,722 reviews · 7 hours · from $241Our pick

Small-group Aurora hunt from Tromsø with thermal suits, bonfire reindeer sausages, and pro photo tips plus portraits.

“The pick‑up point was easy to find, and our guide Harry welcomed us onto the minibus. He was friendly, informative, incredibly skilled at astrophotography, and very passionate about the northern lights. We had a small group and a great driver, Peter. After a 50‑minute drive we reached a fjord beach with clear skies, and the aurora appeared almost immediately. We were given snow suits, and Harry took photos throughout the night. We were out for around 7–8 hours and happened to be there during the biggest solar storm in 20 years—an unforgettable sight that no tour can guarantee, only chase. When fog crept up the fjord before the storm peaked,…”

4.Food and Culture walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 243 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $123

Bergen food and culture walk: fish market tastings, Bryggen heritage stops, and a final beer in a historic cellar, in 3 hours.

“Guide Our guide was pleasant enough, but she wasn't able to answer many of the questions she was asked. Also the stories dragged on a bit too long - it took 25 minutes to tell the prince story and it wasn't really worth it... Food The food was very disappointing. It started with a fish cake (I didn't like it but others did). We continued with a cinnamon bun with brown cheese. This was the highlight ! We also had 20 ml of apple juice and some dried fish. It continued with lunch which was a disappointing soup of lamb, that most people did not enjoy. A small salad was…”

Taste Norway’s wild side in Grünerløkka, from Mathallen to Akerselva river, with reindeer, moose, whale, beer, and heart-shaped waffles.

“Kristian our Guide was great history and story teller. We had plenty of food along the way as we did a circuit around east and west of Mathallen after starting at the great indoor eating place. We were all dressed for the weather, rainy rain! The surprise was Toyen Cola, delightful and tasty cola. The local beer was very moorish and went well with our snacks to start with. I highly recommend this tour and this guide. It was relaxed wandering and learning and experiencing new stuff. I will certainly go and find the ‘hot dog’ and ‘the waffle’ place again for seconds!”

We was given thermo suits which helped especially in artic experience and is better to be well warmly clothed and worn waterproof boots/shoes. we travelled near 20km to look for a good spot and spend near 3hrs there. Did a fire and had some chai tea, reindeer sausages seated or lying out in the snow(thermosuits), Louis took nice pictures of us and…”

Oslo: Norwegian Food Tour & Hidden Gems City Walk

/ August 21, 2026

12.Norwegian Food Tour & Hidden Gems City Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 73 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $172

A small-group Oslo food and city walk with fish soup, farm-to-table lunch, and a warm waffle finale plus quieter neighborhoods.

“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.”
