Hello, I’m Neil, a Londoner by birth and an Oslo resident of 30 years’ standing – so its' beginning to feel like a know the place a bit. Traditionally a wearer of many hats – actor, teacher and translator – I'm standing by to don my guiding cap and show you around what really is 'my kind of town'. Whatever the season, Oslo is a great place to visit: There's always lots to see and masses of photo opportunities, from stylish urban reflections to details of frost in the botanical gardens. Couple that with the world-class art and architecture, Viking heritage and unique outdoor experiences, and what's not to like? The tours I run are largely founded on my own enthusiasms and interests, and I love meeting new people from around the world, so whether you want to take in the city-centre highlights, wander silent forests or explore the unique islands with their extraordinary bio-diversity, one thing's for sure: It will be a new experience for both of us! I'm happy to customise tours too, so if there's a special itinerary you'd like to pursue, just let me know and we can work something out together; it will be a pleasure to welcome you. Oslo awaits! Hjertelig velkommen, Neil.

Cities are cities, but away from the tourist hotspots, the real feel of a place comes to the fore – places where the past informs the present. Salute the Talking Camel (!) and wander one of the most picturesque, and once poorest, quarters of the city, traverse what was once an Olympic arena and follow the newly reinstated Hovin Stream through ‘the real Oslo’ down to what remains of Harald Hardråde’s Viking town. Use your imagination to people the medieval coastline before strolling the quaysides of one of Oslo’s newest residential quarters and walking on water to the Opera House and Munch museum. Urban preservation and regeneration, Norwegian style!
- Meet up by the square immediately in front of Kampen Church. - Photogenic Kampen: social deprivation becomes city chic. - Jordal: the site of the '52 Olympics and a new urban park. - Gamlebyen: the old town with medieval ruins and that east-side buzz. - Sørenga: a tongue of reclaimed land floating between the Viking past and the thrilling modernity of the new city.
