Step back in time to the 1940s, when Nazi Germany occupied Oslo. On this walking tour, we’ll stroll along the city’s main streets—but with a different perspective. The war left many marks on Oslo, though they are not always easy to spot. Along the way, we’ll also visit several locations featured in the film Number 24. Haven’t seen it yet? I recommend watching it before the tour for an even deeper experience. The author’s booklet, Unretouched History, contains a map and WWII photographs from Oslo and makes a perfect souvenir. One copy is included with each booking. If your preferred tour date is marked as unavailable, please send a message with your desired tour time. We may still be lucky and find an opportunity to arrange a meeting. It is possible to combine WWII and Jewish tour.

You will not regret booking this tour!
Rami is a true professional and provided much value to our visit in Oslo. He is personable and tells wonderful stories along the way. He knows his subject matter extremely well and made the engagement very enlightening. Our money spent was so worthwhile!

Rami's WW II walking tour.
Our tour with Rami Kafarov started at the Royal Palace with a carefully researched history lesson as to how & why the Occupation of Norway was undertaken by Germany. The walking tour continued around the main sites & locations of interest in Oslo concerning WW II accompanied by a continuous flow of stories, observations & illustrations from Rami's folio of contemporary photos. Rami's encyclopaedic knowledge was impressive & gave us a clear understanding of the problems & depravations suffered by the Norwegians & how the Resistance worked against the Occupation. We can thoroughly recommend this walking tour.

Horrible experience
During my stay, I encountered several staff members who were unhelpful and dismissive. When I raised concerns, they were not handled professionally, and I felt my questions and requests were not taken seriously. This negatively affected my overall experience.” This wording is clear, professional, and focuses on the behavior rather than making personal attacks.
Response from the operator: I'm sorry to hear that you had such an experience. However, I'm wondering why you chose to post it on my guiding service page, as it doesn't appear to be related to the tour or the services I provide.

Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you very much for choosing this tour. regards, Rami

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.
How much does Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45 cost?
+
Prices start at $352 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 Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45 take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 83 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 Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45?
+
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 Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45?
+
Around 29 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Unknown war. Oslo and Norway during 1940-45 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.
