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.

Maureen, Feb 2025

Two hours was the right amount of time for us to tour in February. We saw what we wanted to see and got an idea of where we wanted to go back later that day. Sheena was very nice and knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with her. Would recommend to anyone who would rather walk than do a hop on hop off bus.

Sheenam was a great guide. Her communication was fantastic and she gave us an informative and interesting tour of Oslo. As someone who moved to the City a few years ago, she has clearly done her homework and knows the history and culture of Norway and refers to it as home. We had to rush everything along at the end due to flight times but she was very understanding and accommodating.

Sheena was amazing, very knowledgeable, kind and and cultural. We went to all parts of Oslo which you normally wouldn't know to go. Despite the weather being cold and snowy, she was able to cover a large portion of the city. We had a nice coffee break in the middle of the tour. I would certainly highly recommend her

Marianne attended on time. She was polite, friendly and welcoming. She gave us an overview of the walk and what would be seen to ensure we were happy with the itinerary. She made adjustments to the walk as we went to suit our choices. She observed our difficulties with mobilising due to one of us being blind by ensuring the pace of walking was set by us. We didn’t feel rushed or pushed into decisions about directional changes. She was respectful and natural in her interactions. We enjoyed her views and anecdotes shared. We would recommend her as a city guide to other travellers too Oslo looking to orientate themselves with what Oslo has to offer.
