Oslo City Walk with Passionate Founder, shared/private (German)
About This Experience
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've created my own tours, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries/scripts for tour companies, I’ve 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).
My average tour group is 2-4 people.
Suitable for:
* Solo Travellers
* Couples
* Groups
* Photo takers
* If you want to see as much as possible in a short time
* Anyone who wants a unique, personal experience with a focus on culture and history
