Description

Join our Oslo Free Tour and discover the city in a close and authentic way. We are the only tour in Oslo that limits groups to a maximum of 16 people, for a more personal experience, with time for questions, humor and real connection.

Relive the Viking legacy and how they arrived in America before Columbus, explore the Royal Palace and the National Theater, and learn the stories of the Norwegian resistance in World War II with heroes like Gunnar Sønsteby. We also visit the City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, and the modern Oslo Opera House by the fjord.

We show old photos to connect past and present and share surprising anecdotes: the robberies of The Scream, how Norway invented a dish that today we think is Japanese... and even which food Norwegians eat the most. And who knows, you might even win a chocolate.

At the end you will receive our exclusive guide to Oslo, full of local recommendations to keep exploring like a true insider.

Carlos was a prefect tour guide! He was friendly and explained everything we wanted to know! Even if he is not from Norway he could transport his knowledge with great passion and a good sense of what is important. We've learned a lot! Thank you very much!
