About This Experience

Explore Oslo with a passionate, independent guide.

Discover modern gems, dive into Oslo’s rich history, enjoy fjord views & get great tips for local hotspots.

Why choose this tour?
As an independent guide, I have created my own tours, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries/scripts for other companies, I have created 'Oslo By Heart' tours to offer a more personal, authentic experience. Unlike the generic tours provided by companies that subcontract local guides, Oslo By Heart tours are thoughtfully crafted and full of personal insights and stories.

Oslo By Heart just launched on Viator/Tripadvisor, so reviews are few, but I am highest rated on other booking platforms (google me).

Can be booked as a public or private tour.

Suitable for:
* Solo Travellers
* Couples
* Groups
* Photo takers
* If you want:
* To see as much as possible in a short time
* A unique, personal experience with a focus on culture and history

Our meeting point is the “Creature from Iddefjord” sculpture ("Skapning fra Iddefjord") outside the main entrance to Deichman Bjørvika Library. See tour photos. If coming by Taxi, ask to be dropped at the library. This is a quiet spot, so I'm generally the only other person there, I will find you!
