My name is Rami, and I’m an authorized Oslo guide and professional driver. Although I wasn’t born in Norway, this country has truly become my home over the years. As a schoolboy, I was fascinated by the stories of polar explorers—especially Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen. Norway felt like a distant, almost mythical place back then. Today, I have the privilege of living here, guiding guests through the very streets connected to those stories, and even standing at the helm of the legendary Fram, the ship that reached both poles. I’d be happy to take you on a journey through time—from the Viking Age to modern Oslo—sharing both the well-known history and the smaller, local stories that bring the city to life. I hold the following degrees: Associate Engineer (Bachelor) in Photography and Digital Media from Hadassah College, Jerusalem Master’s degree in International Business and Marketing from Lauder Business School, Vienna

Only One Hour from Oslo: A Fortress, a Fjord, and the Light of History
Overview of your Oslo tour
There are probably few places in Norway with such a rich and wide-ranging history as Drøbak — a small provincial town located just an hour from Oslo, yet far from mass tourism. Here you’ll find a charming town center with wooden houses, a beautiful fjord, and even the residence of the Norwegian Santa Claus, from where you can send Christmas greetings at any time of the year. But perhaps the most important landmark is the small Oscarsborg Fortress, which played a key role in delaying the German advance on Oslo in April 1940. If you are a fan of World War II history, be sure to watch the film Blucher (known as The Battle for Oslo). I would be happy to show you the locations where the film was shot — we’ll definitely have plenty to talk about. Don’t forget to bring your camera. Drøbak is a paradise for photographers.

By default, a Tesla Model 3 is the vehicle provided. If your group consists of more than three guests, a larger vehicle can be arranged for an additional fee. As a professional driver, I can offer greater flexibility in organizing and adapting the tour. The tour also includes 10 min ferry crossing to Oscarsborg.
