Hi I'm Andrew. I've been guiding in Norway for over 30 years and have been an authorized Oslo guide since 2006. Guiding is in my blood and the most enjoyable work I have done. I love walking around Oslo in my free time and feel privileged to be able to show people what I believe to be the greatest city to live in (I've been to over 75 countries and haven't found a better place). There's something in this city for everyone; world class art, significant historical sites and great nature within walking distance of downtown. I pride myself on being able to relate to and meet the interests of a wide variety of people and will happily customize your tour to meet your needs. A few words about my background. I grew up in the US and first visited Norway when hitchhiking around Europe when I was 19. Enchanted with the country, I came back to study at the University of Oslo, where I got my undergraduate degree. After graduate school in the US, I returned to Norway and taught at the law school here for over 20 years. I now have spent the majority of my adult years in Oslo and am a Norwegian citizen. If you have access to iFit, you can see 3 Oslo cultural walking tours I did for them. Authorized Oslo guide since 2006 Guide in Norway and Scandinavia since 1986 Lectured at the University of Oslo Law School for over 20 years I'm an authorized guide and can guide in all museums, except for the Munch Museum where some restrictions may apply. I would not be able to be your driver in Oslo, but I could arrange for a limo or taxi for part or all of your tour.

Overview of your Oslo tour

Since cruise ships dock near the center of Oslo, we can leisurely see the main sights in Oslo's compact downtown area. I'll customize the tour from where your ship docks and we can either end at your ship or at a nearby shopping area. In four hours, we'll be able to see the main downtown sights plus a museum of your interest. Downtown, we'll see Oslo's main street, Karl Johansgate, the Oslo Cathedral, the Norwegian Parliament and the Royal Palace. If open, we'll go inside the Oslo City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. We also walk along Oslo's central harbor area and see an old dockyard that has been converted into a trendy public area and the Oslo Opera House, with the option of walking up its Carrara marble clad sloping roof, which looks like a glacier sliding into the Oslo Fjord.
