Nothing gets booked or paid for here. The seven free walking tours in this directory all run on GuruWalk and freetour.com, and sign-up happens on each platform's own page for the walk you choose. Five of the tours are GuruWalk listings and two are freetour.com exclusives, so the reservation itself never touches this site. What does exist is one email inbox, and messages that land there get read. Corrections, new suggestions and flat disagreement are all welcome in it.

Not every message carries the same weight. A note saying a meeting point is wrong, or that a museum's free-entry day has moved, helps more than a casual question, because it protects the next visitor's one spare afternoon. That is the mail this page was built for.

• Routes and details can slip out of date. A guide moves a meeting point, drops a landmark from the route, or hands the walk to another operator, and the description here can lag behind what actually happens on the day. Notice something off with any of the seven tours? Name the walk and say what differs. Price is one thing that never changes: every tour on this site is pay what you want, with no fixed fee to get wrong.
• A tour that has paused or quietly changed shape. Some walks stop accepting bookings, shorten the route, or drop a language they used to run in. If one of the seven here seems to have done so, name it and describe the difference. Anything that checks out against the walk's own GuruWalk or freetour.com page gets corrected or pulled promptly.
• Free-entry rules in Oslo shift often, and no two institutions follow the same rulebook. The National Museum, MUNCH, Akershus Fortress and the city's parks each publish their own terms, and some tie free access to age, season or a specific pass. If a page here states a condition an attraction no longer honours, say which one applies now. Every entry rule on this site is taken from the operator's own published terms.
• Know of a walk these pages skip? If a bookable free tour of Oslo on GuruWalk or freetour.com exists and has no page here yet, send the link and it will get the same treatment as the rest of the roster. Placement cannot be bought at any price, and no operator can pay for a higher position. Both freetour.com walks, Artista Tours' introduction tour and Oslo Free City Walking Tour, earned their spots the same way: on their merits, not their money.
• Plain questions are welcome as well, whether they fit the FAQ or belong among the guides.

After You Write

Corrections take priority. A wrong meeting point or a museum entry rule tied to the wrong weekday can cost someone their only free afternoon in Oslo, so anything that repairs a fact on a tour or attraction page jumps the queue. Broader questions follow behind, and some end up answered in a fuller guide rather than a short reply. There is no mailing list here, and no address is passed on.

Where Bookings Live

No booking is taken, held or altered through this site. The seven free walking tours belong to their guides: five run on GuruWalk, which handles sign-up and the tip you choose at the end, and two run on freetour.com under that platform's own pay-what-you-want setup. This site's job stops at pointing you toward walks that have been read and checked. So a rescheduled departure, a cancellation, a question about your spot or a problem with a tip must go to the guide through their platform page, where your reservation actually lives.

Already holding a place on a walk? Start with the confirmation email from GuruWalk or freetour.com, not this site. That message holds your reference, the meeting point and a direct line to the guide. A late departure, a group you cannot locate, or a date change can only be resolved by whoever runs the tour, because the booking is theirs and this site has no hand in delivering it. Writing here about a live reservation only slows things down.

A booking note from GuruWalk holds two lines worth reading twice. One is the meeting spot: Oslo guides gather at a precise landmark, a statue on Karl Johans gate or a corner near the Opera, and the group will not wait for anyone who misread it. The other is the cancellation rule, which each guide sets independently, since a free place is still a place someone else wanted. Both answers live with the guide, not with this site.

Many questions never need a message at all. The tour categories split the seven walks between Sentrum and Bjorvika, while the guides cover what museums charge, when entry is free, and which parks ask nothing of anyone. A quick look there usually beats waiting on email.
