We enjoy walking tours with local guides who take us where we would normally not go. Our host Sheenan did just that with some sights of Oslo, both old and new, as city appears to be going through an exciting urban renewal.

Neil was fantastic! It was raining on our tour day, but it didn't stop Neil from having a very bright outlook and positive energy for our tour. We saw many highlights of the downtown area on our tour, and he was a wealth of knowledge. He focused on our interests and was very personable. We have some accessibility issues, and Neil easily accommodated. We were traveling on a holiday, and Neil came prepared with a list of attractions/museums/etc. which were open on the holiday. I would highly recommend him!
