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 perfect for us. Everything was tailored to our wants. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about Oslo and Norwegian history. We saw so many interesting parts of the city and learned a little about each location we visited. I would highly recommend this bright and personable woman to anyone looking for a personal tour of Oslo. She is invaluable.

We had an 8 hour tour booked and Neil did not disappoint! He was personable and more than knowledgeable about Oslo and its sights. It is a rare guide to keep you entertained and informed over 6 miles of walking and that amount of time.
