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.

Let's stroll through Oslo! My Oslo Walks are 3 1/2-hour private walking tours which will give you an excellent introduction to Oslo, Norway's capital. Let me know your interests and I will plan our route accordingly. You will see some of the city's highlights as we stroll through the central area. Experience Norway's capital on foot at a comfortable pace whle you learn about its history and culture. A walking tour is a great way to spend those first hours in Oslo whether you are well rested or feeling a bit jeg lagged. I can also make a customized tour for you if there are certain things you definitely want to see while in Oslo or would like a longer tour. These tours are 3 1/2-hours long but we will rest our feet as needed, of course! We will not be standing for long periods of time. A nice local experience is a stop at one of the many delightful bakeries along the way.
Judith was an exceptional tour guide. She grew up in the States but has lived in the Oslo area since 1970. She provided excellent ideas for places to see on our own. She took us to another area of the city by tram to show us how easy it is to use, She also strongly suggested we buy an OsloPass that proved useful for entrance into many museums plus the tram and boat to the Marine Museum. It was a wonderful, enjoyable and entertaining tour with Judith.
Judith was just great! We got more information from her tour than all of our other tours combined. She asked us what else we were doing in Oslo and filled in what we were missing and then she had a map for us telling us what to expect at the other locations. Well worth the time and expense!
A fantastic experience in Oslo! Judith was extremely knowledgeable and made the history and culture of Norway come alive in a fun, engaging way. Communication before and during the tour was smooth and friendly. We had a great time as a family and left with so much more insight into Oslo and Norway. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personal, informative city experience!
Judith was punctual, knowledgeable, and entertaining! She also made notes on a map with helpful restaurant, streetcar, and other information that she left with us she was flexible and tailored our tour to our interests.
Judith is a fabulous guide. Though American born she knows Oslo like a native. As a former teacher she knows how to impart historical information in an interesting way. Her restaurant recommendations are spot on. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to learn more about Oslo.
We had a wonderful tour with Judith on a very nice Oslo summer morning. We all learned a great deal about this fascinating city. Judith is very knowledgeable and her experience as a teacher comes through. I would highly recommend her as a guide. Thanks again Judith! ZL Ormond Beach, FL
