This was a fantastic walking excursion Amazing Experience! This tour was so great to go on, I would definitely recommend it to anyone that visits Oslo. Tanya-Lisa, our guide, was fantastic throughout, providing a running commentary on what we were looking at and the history of Oslo. We went to many great attractions and learned so much!

We were asked to reschedule our time for this tour which was okay. However, our guide rushed in several minutes late, stating “just in time”. It only got worse from there. No schedule or itinerary. ‘What do you want to see?” How should I know. I am the visitor. I told her “this is hidden gems of Oslo”. We walked to the Opera House. She pointed out “look, there is an apartment building”; “look, there is a restaurant”; I was pointed out more dogs …Tanya Lisa was the worst guide I have experienced on this trip. Unfocused. Very little historical information. We walked to the Univ of Oslo. She said it was closed but I saw people going in. I asked if that wasn’t where the Munch painting was. We made it in with 9 minutes to spare before it closed. My granddaughter and husband left after an hour of her babbling. I stuck with it for another two hours but quit This tour us a waste of time, energy, and money. DO NOT USE THIS TOUR!!

We were able to see parts of the city you could only see by walking. Favorite part was the sculptor garden.

The national WWII Aviation museum in Colorado Springs is a hidden gem. It was a 2 hour guided tour of aircraft and memorabilia. The tour guide, Ray, was very knowledgeable and had an excellent sense of humor. Will be going back and will bring some friends along as well.
