Because there was ice we couldn’t do the River walk. Then we tried another destination but the train was closed. So we walked around. Tom, our guide was wonderful! Not his fault at all. We made the best of it. But it wasn’t a nature walk.

Unfortunately we had no chance this day with the weather, it was very icy and raining all along the river, the path was very slippery, but thanks to the crampons provided by the guide of this hike, Tom, and his help, the hike went well.
The weather conditions made the hike challenging, but I greatly appreciated the hike with Tom who allowed me to learn more about the river but also more globally about Norway.
It will be a pleasure to do another hike with Tom .

Despite the poor weather (raining) we had a nice hiking experience. The coordination was excellent and the programme all executed very professionally. My parent who is 65+ had some difficulty over some of the uphill roads and some of the narrow paths were concerning given the rain, which future participants may want to consider. However, one may argue that is part of the Nordic hiking experience.

Waking the Lysaker river was amazing! Our tour guide, Marina was excellent! She was knowledgeable, conversational and just made the entire experience wonderful. We made stops in all the right places and never felt rushed but just one with nature. I would recommend this for everyone visiting the area and Marina as a guide was the best!!

Mustapha was very knowledgeable and we had a great conversation while hiking along the Lysaker river. He is very nice and showed me some berries and explained different things I saw in the forest. I would recommend a tour with him and will come back and do another tour with him!
If you are looking to get away from her city for a couple of hours, I recommend this tour!
