Overview

Explore Oslo with a passionate, independent guide. Starting at the Opera, you'll discover Bjørvika’s modern gems, dive into Oslo’s rich history, enjoy fjord views & get top tips for local hotspots.

Why choose this tour?

As an independent guide, I have created my own tour, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries and scripts for larger companies, I’ve embarked on my own to offer a more personal, authentic experience. Unlike the generic tours provided by companies that subcontract local guides, my tours are thoughtfully crafted and full of personal insights, ensuring a unique experience.

Who is this tour for?

* Solo Travellers
* Couples
* Groups of friends
* Photo takers
* If you want to see as much as possible in a short time
* Anyone who wants a unique, personal experience with a focus on culture, history, and architecture

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
