Overview

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 created 'Oslo By Heart' tours to offer a more personal, authentic experience. Oslo By Heart tours are thoughtfully crafted and full of personal insights and stories.

Groups are kept small so there is room for real conversation rather than just covering ground. Every walk is led by me personally.

I have over 190 reviews, all with 5 stars, spread across Cool Shore Excursions, Cool Shore Excursions, Google, and other platforms. Oslo By Heart has Oslo's highest rated walking tours.

Who is this tour for?
* Solo travellers
* Couples
* Groups of friends
* Anyone who wants a unique, personal experience with a focus on culture and history

What's Included

  • Tram tickets are included if the Vigeland Park option is booked, as we will take a quick tram ride there.
  • Snacks Snacks & drinks not included in the price, but can be bought along the way
