Whether you take this self-guided GPS audio tour on an early Sunday morning or a busy Tuesday afternoon, you will always experience the area and paths as a break from everyday life - a green and fresh lung that provides you with extra energy and joy of life.
VoiceMap takes you on a tour upstream the river of Akerselva, from the busy downtown by the traffic machines, the Central Station and the Bus Terminal at Vaterland, and about 3 kilometres up to Sagene, where it ends by a cosy café next to a waterfall. The tour takes about 45 minutes, without stop.
While you walk, Lars will tell you the story of Akerselva, and its surrounding areas. Along the way, you'll hear how the river shaped the industrial evolution of Oslo, and how it was brought back from environmental degradation, to become the tranquil, green artery of Oslo.
…
NB! The tour is wheelchair accessible, but be aware that the path may be steep in some places.

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.
