A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Waste no time in a cozy capital teeming with must-see landmarks, like a larger-than-life sculpture park, or the Neoclassical Royal Palace in the city center (return at 13:30 to see the changing of the guard). A stone's throw away, see home to the famous artwork The Scream, as you meander along a flower-lined street towards the stage of the National Ballet and the neo-Romanesque Parliament. Had enough of the classics? Head harbor-side to see ferries depart for the scenic Oslo Fjord, snap a pic outside the inspirational Nobel Peace Center, and drop a GPS pin at a popular boat bar before strolling along the Aker Brygge Promenade dotted with angelic sculptures. A fortress fit for a Viking awaits, then pop over to the Opera House for a dose of innovative architecture.

I loved the way Neil initially asked what I’d be be most interested in seeing and then as we progressed , he was able to adapt the guided walk to what he felt I would most enjoy.

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.

Marianne was an excellent guide and this was the perfect experience to have when I had limited time but still wanted to see Oslo. She was very thorough and had lots of fun history facts to share, and information I would have probable never found out otherwise. I am very grateful for this experience!
