A Wonderful Way to Get to Know Oslo!

5.00We had limited time in Oslo, and our private walking tour was the perfect way to see the city and learn more about its history. Our tour guide, Sigrid, was excellent and tailored the tour to our interests. She offered a wealth of information and we learned a lot. Sigrid also provided valuable advice about what else to see while in Oslo and even guided one of our group members back to our hotel on public transit.
A Warm Personality in Need of a Structured Route
Robert K,Jun 7, 2026
- Review from Viator
3.00We wanted to love this tour, and our guide was incredibly nice, but the experience fell short of our expectations. The tour lacked a clear, engaging route with the steady stream of facts and commentary we've typically enjoyed on similar city tours. Our guide was very quiet and struggled a bit with English fluency, which made it hard to hear and stay engaged. There were also several instances where historical details were conflicting or unclear. The guide has great potential because of their warm personality, but the tour definitely needs a bit more structural preparation and factual polishing.

5.00Anastasia was a fantastic guide. Meeting up at our hotel was very easy and timely. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Our three and half hours was at a perfect pace, visiting the major points of interest around the city center. She shared enjoyable nuggets of information along the way.
Anastasia Made Our Oslo Visit Truly Outstanding!

5.00This was an outstanding personalized tour of Oslo. We were met right at our cruise ship by Anastasia, and for the next 3 hours, we enjoyed a leisurely, deeply informative walk through the city and its sites. Anastasia possessed a keen knowledge of Norway's history, as well as the cultural influences of its neighbors. Moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed her insight and candor into daily life in response to our many questions. She truly made the tour exceptional. Our highest recommendation
Get to Know Oslo

5.00We arrived by cruise ship. Mireia, our guide, met us at our ship, an easy link up. She is a licensed tour guide with the city and was very knowledgeable of the city and the country of Norway. Our primary interests are history and culture, and we buried her with questions (something you can never do in group tours). She answered them all. The walking tour covered about 3 miles. She covered the fort, the old town, the city and national government buildings, and the Royal palace. She was very flexible--several times she gave us options of what to see and adjusted her tour accordingly. If you are looking to get a personalized tour of Oslo, this is the one.
