    Oslo Food and Walking Tour

    Annie was a lovely and informative guide. We had three tastings that included a traditional waffle with brown cheese (from a street vendor), a fish soup (Fiskereit) and a charcuterie with smoked trout and moose salami from a quaint farm to table (Bonder I Byen). All the food was delicious.

    I'm SO glad we did this...

    I'm SO glad we did this tour. The food was great, but the walking tour and history were the highlight for me. Annie was an absolutely wonderful guide. This was our third walking tour of Oslo but it covered a completely different neighborhood where the factories were and where the wet district is now. We never would have seen this district if it wasn't for this tour.

    Do it!

    We had a wonderful guide, Selia who was very knowledgeable about the city, and took us to several eating places to sample a variety of local foods. All excellent. We were a small group of 4, so easy to hear, and learn about the others. Ther is about 3 miles of walking with stops along the way, and some hills. All in all, a wonderful tour.

    Food and History, perfect together!

    We enjoyed our afternoon with Annie, our guide, along with Todd and Daren, a small group. The waffles(first stop)then the fish soup were amazing! Another tasty stop was at a farm to table restaurant. We had plenty to eat! As we are here for a few more days we are going back for more! We strolled a bit up and down and all around to see many hidden gems in Oslo. Very interesting and very scenic. Annie is well versed in the history of Norway. This is a perfect way to get a taste of Norway plus some history. Book it!

    Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.

    How much does Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $192 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.

    Is Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 118 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk?

    +

    Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oslo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oslo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oslo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk?

    +

    Included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); and Food. Not included: Beverage. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk?

    +

    Meet at the tiger statue at Oslo Central Station. Look for a woman wearing a yellow reflective vest. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Oslo Norwegian Food Tour and Hidden Gems City Walk if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
