Arrive in Oslo, the beautiful Norwegian capital by the Oslofjord. Meet your driver for the hour's drive to your centrally located hotel in the heart of Oslo. On arrival, you will have a 'meet and greet' with a guide to discuss your stay and how to make the most of your time. The Norwegian capital has a great deal to offer for the observant traveller. We can recommend a walk around the centre of town to view the Parliament, the Castle, and the Harbour area.

Good to know: An optional 1‑hour La Humla Suse urban nature experiences in Oslo can be added to this tour (and can be done on any day you are in Oslo). These one-of-a-kind encounters reveal a quieter, greener side of the city, either by exploring the elevated wildflower meadow at Ola Narr or experiencing the art-and-nature setting around Tracey Emin’s The Mother by the Munch Museum.

For full details on both experiences, see 'Urban Nature in Oslo - Optional Experience' under the Oslo days in the itinerary above. Please note: these add-ons are enquiry-only and must be booked in advance.

The Norwegian capital has a great deal to offer the discerning traveller, and you have the opportunity to discover the city on your private half day guided tour on foot. Enjoy all the landmarks of Oslo's city centre and get a taste of life in this vibrant capital through its famous sights and its architectural and cultural diversity. See the Royal Palace, the Norwegian Parliament, and the University of Oslo, and stroll the bustling Karl Johan pedestrian shopping area. Take the tram to the iconic Vigeland Park and explore the incredible and unique works of sculptor Gustav Vigeland. A perfect introduction to the Norwegian capital!

This afternoon, some options that we can include are packrafting along the river, a sunset sailing trip on the fjord or perhaps a night at the Opera.

Head out of Oslo today for a 6 hour guided tour of new galleries and glass works.
