What you'll do

There's no time to waste; become an honorary Oslovian on a crash course that will take you to a world-famous street dotted with comfy cafés, bucket list landmarks, and a "wow, royal palace!". Learn about the fascinating history of the capital once inhabited by seafaring Vikings, as you receive invaluable tips on when to visit tourist hotspots or where to find a postcard-like bakery selling the best Sandbakelse (sugar cookies) in town. Channel your inner medieval warrior outside a towering fortress, and step back in time at a Baroque cathedral. Find out where to step into 19th-century Norwegian streets, before strolling to where the hipsters hang out at borough by the river Grünerløkka, booming with European influenced street art and Indie boutiques.

Where you’ll go

Learn the ropes of happy Oslo from a local who knows the capital like the palm of their hand, guiding you along charming cobblestone streets sprinkled with landmarks, past a neo-Romanesque parliament nicknamed Lion's Hill and a beaming yellow theater where ballerinas twirl, towards the beaming Royal Palace. Get directions to the world-famous Vigeland sculpture park and a cozy little café to visit on the rest of your trip, before heading to the fortified Akershus Fortress overlooking the lapping Oslofjord and city harbor. Dart to Telthusbakken and Damstredet streets, lined with traditional Norwegian homes and fairytale-like trees, before strolling along the art plastered streets of hip neighborhood Grünerløkka. Your savvy host knows just the cozy café to try.

Reviews

    He gave us a fantastic tour of the city. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. In addition he was very flexible and accommodating as we had to change our meeting point at the last minute prompting him to modify the itinerary. We also appreciated the fact that he followed our pace and didn’t rush. Last but not least he suggested a really nice restaurant where we had lunch. He is highly recommended.

    Marianne was an excellent guide, highly recommend her! She made our first day in Norway very memorable. We got to see the highlights of the city, while learning much about its history and culture. She went above and beyond in finding off the beaten path places we particularly enjoyed based on our very specific requests-some we already went back to again!

    The 3-hour overview of Oslo with Gozdem was great. She was able to show me key sights while educating me along the way. It was wonderful to walk around Oslo and learn from her.
