As we move along the waterfront you will learn fascinating details about the comprehensive urban development that has shaped the Bjørvika district, and which includes the Munch Museum, the Opera, and some other buildings that may surprise you.
We look at the ever expanding floating sauna landscape, and some other fascinating projects and sights.
Here we will dive a little deeper into the history of the city and how it came to be known as Christiania for just over 300 years.
We will ascend to the highest point of the Akershus Fortress grounds for stunning views over the Oslofjord. On a sunny day, you will even be able to spot the famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump.
We carry on towards the heart of Oslo, Karl Johan street. If you like shopping, take note as you might want to return here later.
We will discover how the city and country is governed and entertained, at the Norwegian Parliament and National Theatre.
We take a quick peek at the royal residence and learn about the Norwegian national day and other interesting events.
During the final part of the tour we head towards Oslo’s magnificent City Hall, a hidden gem.
We end the tour in the Aker Brygge district, where I will give you some great tips for visiting the National Museum, Nobel Peace Center, restaurants and Oslo fjord tours.
We did two tours with Romy, one of central Oslo and one of Grunerlokka. Both were fantastic: richly informative and interesting. Romy is a great storyteller, with deep knowledge of Oslo's history and Norwegian culture. She eagerly answered our many questions, too. The tours themselves were comprehensive while focusing on sites and information of greatest interest to visitors. We'd happily recommend Romy!
We thought she was fabulous. She had very interesting observations, was knowledgeable about the art everywhere and the architects and the history, etc. but she was also fun. She had good insights into the culture of the country and politics and explaining the king’s death, etc..Tour of Vigiland Park was very special. She explained everything so well. Book her!
Romy was terrific . She was especially knowledgeable about Norwegian history and how the various areas we visited fit into the development of modern Oslo. Definitely recommended.
Absolutely perfect in every way. Wound up being just the four of us who booked the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and spent plenty of time at all stops and along the way explaining the area and history. A+
Great tour of Oslo and Vigeland Park. Very informative and fun. I highly recommend this tour to learn more about this beautiful city
Romy was the very best tour guide and had such a great personality! I have traveled to 25 countries and she is one of the best guides I have ever had - top few for sure! You will have such a nice time with her.
Great tour if you are short on time. Really enjoyed the back story of Norway and how it has come to be today. Loved visiting places that I may not have gone to without our clever guide and her in depth explanations of each site and it's special features and meanings.
I did the tour on the 3rd of March and it was brilliant! Romy is warm, knowledgeable and easy to listen to and I enjoyed learning all about Oslo. We saw some great spots and we got very lucky with sunshine, too! Highly recommended.
Really enjoyed the tour with Romy, highly recommend choosing to go with her as a solo your guide rather than a big commercial group. She's super lovely and passionate and we really enjoyed the tour.
Romy"s tour was excellent, providing us with in depth information on Oslo's most iconic and interesting sights. Her knowledge carefully intertwined history, culture and art, together with stories of Oslo's most famous and colourful characters which brought the whole tour to life. I've visited Oslo frequently but on this occasion I was travelling with a friend on her first trip. Romy managed to provide us both with new and interesting information about the city, and its people, which amazed me as I thought my knowledge was quite extensive. As one of the older group members with a slight knee problem Romy looked after me very well, always checking if the pace was comfortable. It was - steady but relaxed. She also provided recommendations on what to see, where to eat and local transport for the rest of our stay. Invaluable information for this lovely but expensive city. A guide and tour above the average. Highly recommended
Our walking tour around Oslo was very good. Romy was an exceptional guide, full of passion and knowledge. Romy not only explained and showed us the historical side of Oslo, but also gave us great tips to make our stay even better I would highly recommend the tour and Romy specifically!
We loved the tour! Very knowledgeable and professional passionate guide! Highly recommended to everyone!
Interesting and informative tour. Great overview of Norwegian history and Oslo landmarks. Highly recommend!
Loved our tour with Romy. We were only in Oslo for one day so we felt precious about our time in the city. The tour was exactly what we were looking for — informative, authentic and fun. We learned so much and would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you very much for such a delightful tour! Lots of historical and cultural details, with a keen insight into the lives of some of the people tightly intertwined with Norwegian cultural identity - which we thoroughly enjoyed!! We will definitely book another tour, this time in summer!
Very informative by tour guide, Romy, a well educated, highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic art historian who provided a detailed, informative and energetic, but not difficult, walking tour of Oslo. I highly recommend Romy's, Oslo Walking City Tour and encourage adding the Vigeland Park extension with Romy.
This Oslo City Walking Tour is a delightfully pleasant, highly informative, artistic, architectural, historically informative experience. The guide Ramy is energetic, warm, professional and well educated about Oslo's history and culture. I highly recommend this tour and am very pleased to have met Ramy and to have participated in this Oslo City Walking Tour. I suggest the extension tram ride with guide Ramy to see, walk and learn about Vigeland Park. Pamy's knowledge about the sculptor and his different masterpieces adds insight and appreciation for this uniquely amazing public park.
A perfect saturday with friends, being guided through Oslos free art scene. Romy had all the facts and the fun facts about the art placed around the city. Can highly recommend going on one of her tours!
Romy met us at the ‘Creature from the Fjord’ sculpture, outside the fabulous library building. We enjoyed our walking tour, very much which began with the early history of Oslo and Harald Hardrada (the hard ruler). From there, we made our way through the city, ending at The Vigeland Park in Frogmore Park. Romy’s tour was really interesting and engaging and we felt very relaxed and comfortable asking a variety of questions. Our knowledge of Oslo has definitely increased thanks to Romy! Cheers! I highly recommend this tour.
The tour was fantastic. Romy was very knowledgeable and had an easy communication style. We did the added extra tour of Vigeland park and this made the tour exceptional. Romy's insights into the sculptures helped you think deeply about them.
Amazing tour to the Oslo city. After a few, this is by far the best one. The guide Romy transmitted passion and kept us interested all the tour through. We highly recommend it!
Generous and very knowledgeable guide. Lots of explanations. Expresses himself clearly. Very pleasant, I highly recommend.
