This tour covers many of the must-see attractions of the city center: Walk the ramparts of the fortress which has protected the city since the beginning of the 1300s, and since then has been the scene of many events in Norwegian history. The fortress has been a castle, a prison and a warehouse and is now host to 3 museums. See Kristiania Torg, which used to be the heart and soul of the city. If you are short on time, but still want to cover the main attractions, this is the tour for you. The tour ends on Karl Johan near the Parliament.

5.00Jens was engaging throughout the walk and provided us with just the right amount of information as we walked through the heart of Oslo. Nice to get an overview of the City and its history on our first full day in Oslo.

5.00Fact filled, humorous, fast paced, engaging tour. Tons of information about Oslo, Norway history, and why it is important to beat Sweden in any sporting event. Walk was quite brisk with at least one steep, long climb to look over the fjord and get pictures of a breathtaking sunset plus view of the city. Fabulous introduction to Norway for those with little knowledge other than it is dark, cold, home of the northern lights, Nobel Peace Prize, and Edvard Munch. Our guide was outstanding.
Really nice walk around the city!

5.00Hello from Uruguay! We joined this tour as part of the Oslo Pass we purchased with my wife. The tour gives you a really nice glimpse of the city. Erik was our guide, again, so we were thrilled! He told us stories about every spot and even answered some questions about Christmas traditions (my wife loves Christmas). Highly recommend this tour!
interesting tour through the heart of Oslo
