About this tour
This session opens on an Oslo market morning, moving between stalls of seasonal produce and counters selling brown cheese, reindeer and smoked salmon. The guide explains what is genuinely in season and how locals order rather than simply describing what is for sale. It is a short, practical look at Norwegian food shopping rather than a full walking tour.
The call opens with a quick sound check, then moves between the two stops before time runs out, with a couple of questions answered live. A short tasting list for your own trip follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone planning a trip to Oslo who wants a feel for its food before arriving, or anyone short on time this morning. It also works well over breakfast at home.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Oslo before heading out.
-
Market stalls 15 min
The camera moves along stalls piled with the morning's produce, and the guide points out what is actually in season this week rather than what is simply on display for visitors.
-
Specialty counters 15 min
At a specialty counter, the guide holds up brown cheese and cured reindeer side by side, explaining how to order each one the way a local would rather than by pointing.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Oslo: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Waffles (vafler) and Frogner, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Oslo time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 12 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Oslo, showing you Akershus Fortress and Royal Palace (Slottet) live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- You get one join link after booking.
- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- I stream on Zoom from a phone gimbal, so the picture stays steady. Ask questions out loud or in the chat.
