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.

Overview of your Oslo tour
From Viking beginnings to the home of the Nobel Peace Prize and inspiring contemporary art and architecture, Oslo is a city of contrasts - with a fascinating and sometimes bewildering history to match. Iconic Oslo opens windows on the past and present, taking you to the must-see city-centre highlights encircling the head of the fjord. You get all the best bits and answers to the difficult questions: when is a fjord not a fjord; why is there a Frenchman outside the Royal Palace; why Tuesday; and where's the best seafood in town? The tour is readily adaptable if you prefer to meet at your hotel or at your cruise-ship berth and can be customised if there's anything particular you'd like to see which isn't on the regular itinerary. Just get in touch and we can work something out :-)
