Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45
Overview

2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Step back in time to the 1940s, when Nazi Germany occupied Oslo. On this walking tour, we’ll stroll along the city’s main streets—but with a different perspective. The war left many marks on Oslo, though they are not always easy to spot. Along the way, we’ll also visit several locations featured in the film Number 24. Haven’t seen it yet? I recommend watching it before the tour for an even deeper experience.
If your preferred tour date is marked as unavailable, please send a message with your desired tour time. We may still be lucky and find an opportunity to arrange a meeting.

Horrible experience

5.00During my stay, I encountered several staff members who were unhelpful and dismissive. When I raised concerns, they were not handled professionally, and I felt my questions and requests were not taken seriously. This negatively affected my overall experience.” This wording is clear, professional, and focuses on the behavior rather than making personal attacks.
Christiania Roklub in Oslo is a determined leader in regatta track and tour/motion rowing.

5.00Christiania Roklub was established in Oslo (then Christiania) in 1878, and is Norway's second oldest and largest rock club. They had a single clubhouse at Oslo Beach, but got in 1925 one of the world's most beautiful rookie club houses, built on a slope in Frognerkilen in Oslo. Is today the leading rookie club in Norway, with about 100 boats and members of all ages. They have also established a training base with boat houses on the beautiful Bogstadvannet in Oslo. The club has participants in the Olympic Games, World Cup, European Championships and is also great at hiking and exercise rowing. Recommended d:o)

5.00I wish all history was taught this way! Rami has the talent to recreate the past in the modern setting through detailed knowledge and humor. He has an incredible, authentic photo collection and the skill to replicate the exact shot! It creates a connection that makes history personal. It was so interesting to learn about Norway’s involvement in WWII from multiple viewpoints and the impacts actions had on different countries! He is so friendly and fun you can feel his passion! He suggested a beautiful walk back to our hotel and a few restaurants- dinner was delicious. Thank you Rami for a wonderful day and all the stories!
Perfect tour!!!’

5.00We had a tour today with Rami. He was extremely informative and enthusiastic. We saw and learned more than we ever would have on our own. His knowledge is extremely impressive, and his personality is great. We would highly recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Absolutely worth five stars!

5.00Rami was a fantastic guide who brought the WW2 occupation of Norway to life. My husband is a true history buff so this was the perfect tour for him. Rami was so knowledgeable about what life was like for everyday people- and resistance heroes- of Oslo, and had a treasure trove of historic photos of the places we visited. Rami shared so many fascinating stories, and it was a great counterpoint to our visit of the Resistance Museum at Akershus Fortress. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Very informative tour. I learned a lot about the time period during the War that I didn’t know. The guide had many photos that made his stories come alive. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to gain more in depth knowledge about the Nazi occupation of Norway.
