My name is Judith and I am an Authorized Oslo Guide who would like to show you Norway's capital! I really enjoy showing visitors not only Oslo's highlights - those must sees - but the "off the beaten path" sights as well. I can arrange themed walking tours, tours using public transportation, shore excursions, and also tours which provide private transportation. As an educator for many years in Norway, all of my tours can be personalized to meet any special interests you may have. My background is both American and Norwegian. I came to Norway in the 1970s looking for my roots, which I found, and I fell in love with this country. In 1985, I settled here with my family. Oslo is an exciting, dynamic capital city which I know well but I have also travelled to all corners of this little country - on land and by sea! I am particularly interested in showing Norwegian-Americans the city of Oslo and helping those visitors learn more about the culture and history of not only the capital but of Norway, too. My personal experience growing up as a Norwegian-American, will enable me to help customize tours to those of you wanting to learn more about your heritage. My other tours focus on topics which I am particularly interested in which includes World War II - The Occupation Years and also Jewish History in Norway. Take a look at my tours and see what interests you! Remember that all tours can be personalized. After 25 years of teaching at the high school/upper secondary level in and around Oslo, I am now a full-time tour guide. Therefore, I look forward to showing you Norway's capital city any time of the year. Contact me about dates and tours so that I may help you plan and experience the perfect visit to Oslo or surrounding areas! My calendar is updated regularly but please contact me about your travel dates if you have any questions. - A very proud holder of Oslo's Tourist Guide Authorization - Teacher for 25 years at the high school/upper secondary level - Travel coordinator for student history trips within Europe focusing on World War II - B.Sc. Cornell University - College of Agriculture & Life Science - Certified International Childbirth Educator I am not a professional driver but if you prefer to have a tour with a private car and driver, please contact me about this option.

Norwegian Emigration to America
Overview of your Oslo tour
Visiting Norway to find your roots? Then this guided tour in Oslo will help you learn more about Norwegian emigration before or after you travel to other parts of Norway. You will learn more about your Norwegian heritage and at the same time experience Norway today. Norwegian emigration to North America started in 1825. Why did so many leave and where did they go? We will visit The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History which is often referred to as the "Folk Museum". There is a wealth of information here to see but also to experience. This is an open-air museum documenting Norwegian culture and include the magnificent stave church from Gol. This tour is a perfect introduction or supplement if you are also travelling to other parts of Norway to learn more about your heritage. It is also a tour that is interesting to travellers who may not have any Norwegian ancestry, of course, who would like to learn more about Norway's history and culture. For Norwegian-Americans you will also experience Norway today!
