Oslo Private Guided Tours

Why Oslo is the perfect city for private guided tours

Whilst Oslo could be considered the smaller sibling of OURWAY Tours’ Scandinavian cities, it more than holds its own identity within our family of fantastic destinations. This compact city has had a complex past, with Norway only becoming fully independent in 1905—both Denmark and Sweden have had their share of power over the centuries! Whilst proudly patriotic as the nation’s capital, Oslo is a hugely welcoming city for visitors and enjoys a diverse population with many sides to its character.

Whether you get here by water or another way, the fjord is hard to miss…lucky for you! Its beautiful blue waters to the south complement the rising hillsides of the forest surrounding Oslo. Thanks to the Fjord City Project of the last few decades, easy access to the fjord and an enjoyable atmosphere around the water are huge priorities for the people of Oslo. For visitors and locals, wherever you find yourself, you’re close to the calming nature of the water and woods.

It’s easy to understand why the city was awarded the European Green Capital in 2019…and not just for its terrain! The conservation of its clean air and streets with its advanced infrastructure – including a mostly electric transport system – has made Oslo an inspirational illustration of a modern 21st-century city. This balances well with preserving its past, beginning with the unearthed Norse burial ships at home in the Viking Ship Museum (opening 2027). Its resilient history also proudly boasts the Nobel Peace Prize-giving City Hall, an enviously socially democratic attitude reflected in its Parliament, whilst boasting a much-loved Royal Family who look adoringly over the capital from their Palace.

With nature and important national treasures to boast about, Oslo is still far from being trapped in tradition. From the iceberg-cool architecture of the Opera House to beautiful street art, the modern eclectic expression is available for all to see. Oslo has hipster micro-breweries, a diverse music scene and an intense thirst for challenging theatre, inspired by the home of the ‘scandalous’ genius of playwright Henrik Ibsen. These traditional and modern marvels that make up the many sides of Oslo await you – let us at OURWAY Tours be your guide to the really good stuff!

Why choose an Oslo private guided tour for your trip

The Viking age may be over, but Oslo’s fierce history and stunning surroundings live on. Raiding the streets and city of its mysteries and secrets is welcomed—and with OURWAY Tours, on our guided tours in Oslo, we’re here to help you pillage and probe the cultural bounty this Fjord Capital holds.

Whether you’re alone or with loved ones, arriving in Oslo, you’ll notice the inland ocean surrounded by forested hills. In the centre of civilian life, you’ll find that every corner offers curiosity for your explorative appetite. With so much to consider, we’re here to tell you the tales of triumph, turbulence, and the trek toward independence in the capital that has shaped this city’s geographic and emotional landscape, which was founded by the last Viking King.

On our guided tours in Oslo, spending time with us – your trusty escorts, navigators and storytellers through the Fjord City – you’ll not only find your feet, but you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into the shoes of those who shaped Norway.

Our most popular Oslo private guided tours

The tales of Oslo are a rich array of puzzle pieces that will help you see the big picture before you leave. Our guides are excited to put those story segments together for you, but it’s your time to play, and we have plenty of ways for the fun to unfold.

Turn that first page of your adventure with us on our Oslo City Walk, where we guide you through the momentous landmarks with stories of the significant shifts in Norway’s history. The Royal Palace, Parliament and the city’s protective Akershus Fortress are just a few of the fine features of Oslo.

If you’ve just stepped off the ship or are understandably fascinated by the fjord, you might be interested in discovering who else sailed in Norwegian waters – or indeed who sailed from this land to discover new ones. If so, the Fram Museum – home to the world’s strongest wooden ship, the polar ship Fram – makes up part of our Oslo Highlights Private Walking Tour (it also includes the City Walk and a trip to Gustav Vigeland’s iconic sculpture park).

You’ll find everything from Oslo walking tours to food tours and activities. Are tours on a nature theme or astonishing art your thing? Or are exciting bike tours or museum tours the way you want to spend your time in Oslo? Take a private tour tailored to you and your group so we can guide you in a way that’s great for you!

Guided tours in Oslo offer a distinctive blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. When you’re ready to explore more, continue the story with our tours in Stockholm and Copenhagen—your full Scandinavian adventure awaits.
