How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Explore one of the happiest cities on earth, nestled between oceans once ventured by Vikings, in a day tailored to your wildest Norwegian wishes, like marveling at the world’s largest sculpture park, and strolling along the heart of the city’s center towards the palace of a king. Backtrack to medieval times outside a fortified castle fit for a shieldmaiden and fast-forward to modernity on the roof of the glacier-like Opera House. For lunch, hop over to Oslo’s coolest borough by the river Grünerløkka, teeming with artsy folk, to an indoor market for a taste of traditional Norwegian meatballs Kjøttkaker. Back near city central, picturesque streets lined with colorful wooden houses await, but skip the crowds to a rockin’ pub for a glass of potato aquavit – skål!

Marianne was absolutely fabulous. I gave her a list of what we wanted to see and she planned an amazing day for us. We enjoyed the stories and facts she gave us. The only better would have been if our schedule had allowed a different day since most museums are closed Sundays and Mondays. But, not her fault.

The experience was nothing short of spectacular, and want to extend my gratitude to City Unscripted team, especially our outstanding tour guide, Marianne. From the moment we embarked on the tour, it was evident that we were in for a memorable adventure! What truly stood out during the tour was Marianne's commitment to making the day special for all of us. Marianne's enthusiasm and expertise shone through as she guided us through the beautiful streets and landmarks of Oslo. Her in-depth knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems added a new dimension to our journey. She personalized the experience, addressing our questions and catering to our interests. Her passion for Oslo was infectious, and her anecdotes and stories about the city made the tour both educational and entertaining. Her willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate our needs did not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate her thoughtfulness. The city left a lasting impression on all of us, and it wouldn't have been possible without the meticulous planning and execution by your team. Once again, thank you for an unforgettable tour, and please convey our deepest appreciation and warm regards to Marianne. Jay & Angie
