Overview

Walk with a Viking: Private Tour of Oslo's Top Sights and Local Spots Private Walk With a Viking - Oslo Walking Tour. Our Oslo walking tour is your introduction to our country. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Norway. We recommend it as your first stop in Oslo. Our family-friendly tour brings the history of Norway to life with exciting stories and Nordic mythology. We’ll visit all of the famous landmarks in the city center, i.e. Aker Brygge, the Royal Palace, the Parliament, the University, the main streets, etc.  You will also visit a medieval Fortress Akershus or Vigeland Sculpture Park (public transport paid by the travellers). But, we’ll also share hidden, local spots, things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for. We want you to feel the unique, friendly atmosphere of our quirky little city, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. We’ll be showing you our favorite places to eat, drink and visit.
