About this experience
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've created my own tours, driven by my passion for Oslo’s rich culture and history. After years of designing itineraries/scripts for tour companies, I’ve 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 highest rated on other booking platforms (google me). My average tour group is 2-4 people. Suitable for: * Solo Travellers * Couples * Groups * 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 and history

City tour that you shouldn't miss
We had a wonderful city tour. We could have spent much more time walking through Oslo with Romy and listening to her stories. She conveyed facts to us in an easily understandable way.

4-hour informative and personalized city tour
With Romy, the 4-hour city tour was perfectly tailored to our needs. A wealth of good information about the history of Oslo, as well as interesting insights into the modern era. Romy is a very dedicated and flexible tour guide. We would gladly do it again with her, thank you🙏 Family R. (78, 73, 40, 39 YEARS OLD)

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.
How much does Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German) cost?
+
Prices start at $340 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 Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German) take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German)?
+
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 Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German)?
+
Around 6 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oslo Walking Tour with the Founder of Oslo By Heart (German) 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, Oslo Discovery Tour. 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.
