Oslo Walking Tours with Children

One of the six is closed to under-thirteens, one caps at ten guests, and the rest come down to how long a child will stand still. The Myths & Legends evening walk takes ages thirteen and over only and is not wheelchair accessible. Everything else is a question of stamina rather than rules: a walking tour is ninety minutes to two hours of standing and listening over roughly a kilometre, and that is a long time for a small child in any weather.

If you are walking with children, the two things that help are a smaller group and a shorter walk. The independent guide’s tour caps at ten and can be booked private, which means the pace is yours and questions get answered; the ninety-minute City Center walk is simply thirty minutes less of standing. Private walks and small-group walks cover both.

Insider tip

Akershus Fortress is the part children reliably enjoy, and no walking tour goes inside the castle. The grounds are free and open daily, so do the guided walk first and then take them back up onto the walls afterwards with no commentary and no group to keep up with.

The small-group option

Maximum ten guests, shared or private, in English or German, meeting at the Skapning fra Iddefjord sculpture outside the Deichman Bjørvika library. It is also not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments, and it runs from a hundred and thirty-five minutes to three and a half hours.
