Private Tour
Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45
Overview

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.

Awesome WW2 historical tour of Oslo

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.
Excellent tour!

5.00We loved this tour! Rami has put together a really full 2.5-3 hour tour that includes lots of period photos and some of the most common tourist sites. He has made himself into an expert in the resistance, with unique insights and perspectives. He is a charming and colorful guide! We started off a bit slow due to my mistake. I would definitely reach out directly to Rami after I made the reservation to confirm the starting time and place. He was very responsive and accommodating and after starting late, he was very generous with his time. We enjoyed talking about recent films looking at this period and really heroic Norwegian resistance. We came away with new questions and increased curiosity about the time period. Highly recommendation this tour!
Very informative! Great...

4.00My family and I enjoyed the tour a lot. Rami was very knowledgeable about the period but also Norwegian culture and it was great to get a sense of the city at the beginning of our trip. Would highly recommend. My parents had a little trouble understanding everything he was saying while we were walking but he was great about clarifying or answering questions as we went. Take an umbrella just in case there's rain the forecast!
Fantastic
