Great tour! Marcela is the best guide!
It was a great tour, our walk covered the most important attractions in the center and we got a great overview of the city. Marcela is an amazing guide! I totally recommend this tour! Really worth it!
Response from the operator: Dear Natasha, thanks for taking the time to leave me a review. I really enjoyed our Oslo walk as well. I hope that you managed to see the northern lights. All the best, Marcela Orsini.

Excellent tour of Oslo
We had a great tour with Marcela. She was a fun and knowledgeable guide who took into account our interests. I would definitely recommend her for a trip to Oslo.

We loved Oslo! Wonderful tour!
Marcela was an excellent guide for our tour of Oslo. We were so impressed by the modern library, the spectacular opera centre and city hall where the Nobel Peace prize is awarded annually.
Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review! I've enjoyed meeting you and I hope that you have a wonderful tour to the Norwegian fjords. Best regards, Marcela Orsini

What a wonderful introduction to Oslo. Marcella did a wonderful job sharing Oslo's unique and historical highlights
Marcella did a wonderful job showing us all the highlights of Oslo including City Hall and the library. We never would have thought about going to those sites had we been touring on our own. She was a wonderful source of information on Norwegian way of life and Norwegian perspectives. It was an absolute delight for us to walk around Oslo with should a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Response from the operator: Dear King, it was so nice to bump into you and your friends today again by the hotel lobby, I am so happy that you got to see the Northern lights, tried dog sledging and to hear that you had nice memories of Oslo with me! I had a great time with you guys, thanks for the warmth and pleasant companionship, I enjoyed as much as you! I wish you wonderful trips ahead... All the best, Marcela Orsini.

Perfect way to get a real feel for Oslo.
Marcella was wonderful!! It was just the three of us which made it so intimate and easy. Like 3 friends walking the city! I don’t have to tell you what we saw as it’s in the description but suffice to say that we got a really good feel for many different areas and their history. We would highly recommend this tour (or, any tour) with Marcella!
Response from the operator: Dear Debra, thank you for the review! We had the tour earlier today, you were fast :) I enjoyed our morning together, thanks for bringing back the sunshine to Oslo. I wish you and your husband a fantastic trip to Scotland and Iceland. Best regards, Marcela Orsini

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Oslo on foot: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.
How much does Discover Oslo on foot cost?
+
Prices start at $406 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Oslo on foot take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.
Is Discover Oslo on foot worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Oslo on foot?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Oslo on foot suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Oslo on foot?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Oslo on foot start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oslo?
+
On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oslo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oslo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Oslo on foot?
+
Included: Both Historical and Modern Walking Oslo Tour sites. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Discover Oslo on foot include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Oslo. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Discover Oslo on foot offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Oslo on foot?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Discover Oslo on foot wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
