By Oslo Sea Experience

See Oslo

Private days on land, run by the same small team as our fjord cruises: a city walk built around your group, a walk through Oslo's food scene, or a chauffeured day that ends at a lake in the forest above the city.

On foot

The walks

Private City Walk

4 hours · 12 900 NOK per group · no VAT applies

Before you arrive we send a short preference sheet: art or history, fortress or markets, how much walking suits the group, what to skip. The walk is put together from your answers, so no two run the same route.

Your guide takes you on foot, with the tram where it saves time. Tickets and a coffee along the way are included in the price.

Oslo Food Walk

About 4 hours · 14 900 NOK incl. VAT · food for up to 3 guests included, +3 000 NOK per extra guest

Four hours through Oslo's food scene, set up around what you like to eat. The stops usually include Theatercaféen, Kafeteria August, and Engebret — Oslo's oldest café, running since 1857 — and shift with the season and with your answers on the preference sheet.

We collect preferences and allergies before you land. The guide books each stop in advance and orders for the table, so you skip the queues. The food budget is part of the price.

With the car

Half day and full day

The driving days run in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class with two of us on the job: a chauffeur who stays with the car, and a guide who stays with you. One car takes up to six guests; for larger groups we add a second car.

See Oslo — Half Day

4 hours · from 21 168 NOK incl. 12% VAT

Start on the Opera House roof with Oslo below you, then Akershus Fortress, Karl Johan, and Vigeland Park, before the road climbs past Holmenkollen to Frognerseteren, 435 metres above the city.

Entry tickets are included, and the schedule runs at the group's pace.

See Oslo — Full Day

8 hours · from 32 368 NOK incl. 12% VAT

Everything in the half day, with time to stay longer where the group wants to. We book a lunch table along the route — the lunch itself is on your own bill.

In the afternoon you walk the last stretch from the car to a camp by a lake in Nordmarka, the forest north of the city. Food and drinks at the water, coffee and cake, and entry tickets through the day are included; in summer you can try your hand at fishing.

Land and fjord

The packages

Three combinations of land and fjord. Each package costs less than the parts booked separately, and you keep the same hosts on land and on the water.

Oslo, Above & Below

2 days · from 45 808 NOK incl. VAT

Day one is the full See Oslo day by car, up to the viewpoints above the city. Day two is a three-hour private cruise on the fjord.

Fjord & Forest

1 day · from 34 608 NOK incl. VAT

Morning on the fjord with one of our captains. In the afternoon the car takes you up to Frognerseteren and into Nordmarka.

Taste of Oslo

1 day · from 31 248 NOK incl. VAT

The food walk through the city in the afternoon, then a sunset cruise on the fjord the same evening. The food budget covers up to three guests; add 3 000 NOK per extra guest, as on the walk itself.

Pricing

What the price includes

Prices are per group, not per person. They include the guide, the car and chauffeur on the driving days, entry tickets, coffee stops, and the food and drinks at the camp in Nordmarka. The exception is lunch on the full day: we book the table, and you settle the bill with the restaurant directly.

Languages

Land days run in English, Norwegian, Spanish, and French.

Cancellation

Free up to 24 hours before start. If the weather ruins the day, we move it at no cost.

For agents

Travel designers and agents: net rates on request, by email.

Your hosts

Simon, Adrian, and Are

See Oslo is run by Oslo Sea Experience, the company behind the private cruises from Tjuvholmen. On land you get the same hosts, each covering his own ground.

Simon, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Simon

Fjord navigation. He runs the boat, and hosts the fjord part of the packages.

Adrian, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Adrian

Nature and wildlife. Ask him what lives in Nordmarka and along the shoreline.

Are, host at Oslo Sea Experience

Are

Local history. The monastery ruins on Hovedøya, and why Karl Johan runs where it does.

November to March

The same routes in snow

In winter the car still climbs to Frognerseteren. At the lake we light a bonfire instead of setting up the summer camp, and the afternoon can include a cross-country skiing lesson in the tracks above the city, or snowshoes if the group prefers to walk.

In December it is dark by four, so we start earlier and end the day at the fire. Winter days are planned individually — write to us with your dates.

Rated five stars by guests since 2023
