    We ordered six audio recordings of the Akerselva River and successfully downloaded them before our trip. However, our experience quickly turned frustrating when we couldn't find the Akerselva River path for the audio tour. Despite walking around Oslo for two hours, we were unable to locate the starting point. In a final attempt, we decided to take taxis, splitting into two groups since there were six of us. Unfortunately, even the taxi drivers struggled and ultimately failed to find the Akerselva River path, dropping us off at the Opera House instead. Each taxi ride cost us $28, adding to our frustration and disappointment. To improve future experiences, I highly recommend providing clearer and more detailed directions for your tours. Given our significant efforts and the additional expenses incurred without being able to enjoy the tour, we kindly request a refund for this unsatisfactory experience. Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter.

    This was definitely worth the small fee, but a little bit of a pain to download the app. Once we did, though, it was really nice to hear a bit about what we were walking past. Added value to the experience!

    We thoroughly enjoyed the audio guided walk. We learned so much more about the area and we could travel at our own pace. It was perfect for a Sunday walk - a lot of the street artist were out and we picked up some great gifts then continued our guided walk.

    Akerselva is a pearl. Walking from Frysja to Bjørvika along the river is just an experience, so much to see and experience, about 10 km slender down. New impressions all the way, and many nice cafes and restaurants underway. It's just to suck in while walking, have a good time.
