Overview

To make the experience magical, your guide also introduces you to beloved stories from Norwegian folklore. You’ll hear about Julenissen (the Norwegian Santa Claus), mischievous trolls said to roam on Christmas Eve, and even the tradition of the Christmas log, explained during the tour. The walk also includes a cosy moment when your guide reads aloud a classic Norwegian Christmas fairy tale from a traditional storybook.

To round it all off, each guest receives a festive holiday gift as a keepsake of the season.
