Summary: Excellent introduction to the city of Oslo. Marta provided a lot of information about the history of the city, its main sights and gave us recommendations about other sites to visit. Although she used a microphone, it was sometimes difficult to make out what she was saying, and she spoke quite quickly. But that apart, it was an enjoyable tour even though it was raining! It gave us our bearings.
