About
Explore Oslo with a passionate, independent guide.
Discover modern gems, dive into Oslo’s rich history, enjoy fjord views & get great tips for local hotspots.
Why choose this tour? As an independent guide, I have created my own tours, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries/scripts for other companies, I have created 'Oslo By Heart' tours to offer a more personal, authentic experience. Unlike the generic tours provided by companies that subcontract local guides, Oslo By Heart tours are thoughtfully crafted and full of personal insights and stories.
Oslo By Heart just launched on Viator/Tripadvisor, so reviews are few, but I am highe...
