Oslo City Walks - In the Heart of Oslo
Description
This tour covers many of the must-see attractions of the city center: Walk the ramparts of the fortress which has protected the city since the beginning of the 1300s, and since then has been the scene of many events in Norwegian history. The fortress has been a castle, a prison and a warehouse and is now host to 3 museums. See Kristiania Torg, which used to be the heart and soul of the city. If you are short on time, but still want to cover the main attractions, this is the tour for you. The tour ends on Karl Johan near the Parliament. The tour starts every Saturday at 2 pm.

We took this tour because it was included in our Oslo pass, but would absolutely recommend it at its standalone price-point. Our guide, Tammy, had a contagious energy, and the two hours and change of the tour with her just flew by. Not only did we receive a comprehensive overview of Oslo( and, by extension, Norway)'s history, but Tammy was also able to answer our many questions on topics ranging from local sights to Norwegian language and culture in extremely fluent English and with a solid balance between detailed accounts and succinctness. In particular, we learned where to buy authentic potetlefser, what a tilfluktsrom is for (and why they're being repaired) and which Viking-themed experience might be a tourist trap. All in all, we cannot recommend this tour enough.
Tammy is a very nice guide who told a lot of story and interesting things that only local people know.
Tami did our tour. Great pace. Great historic tour
Jens was engaging throughout the walk and provided us with just the right amount of information as we walked through the heart of Oslo. Nice to get an overview of the City and its history on our first full day in Oslo.
