Explore Oslo's Hidden Gems, Oslo
Overview
This tour allows visitors to discover the above-mentioned sites and the real Oslo in the most authentic manner possible: with the help of a local expert guide. They will tailor the experience to your preferences, or you can defer to their expertise as they lead you around the city on an impromptu adventure. This includes strolling the cobbled streets of Damstredet, in central Oslo, which is lined with well-preserved wooden houses dating back to the late 1700s/early 1800s. A walk along the Akerselva River should not be missed either, as it's an iconic landmark in the city.
Then, should you choose, you can visit Grünerløkka, a bohemian enclave that abounds with street art, funky cafes (which offer some of the best coffee in the world), dance clubs, and independent fashion boutiques. This is also the location of the Mathallen Food Hall, where you can savor the flavors of Norway and abroad at its more than 30 eateries. Here you'll find everything from paella and Southeast Asian street food to Norwegian cheeses and cured meats.

Guide was good. Probably walked 10 miles that day. I loved walking thru the different neighborhoods. We got a museum pass for use after the tour and the next day. Put in a lot of walking. Plus learned how to use the busses!
Go see the statue park. My favorite!
