Hi, I’m Mary! What I love most about Oslo is how the city gently blends into nature - you can go from a lively street to a peaceful forest in minutes. I know the trails around Frognerseteren, Holmenkollen, and Nordmarka like the back of my hand, and they’re my favorite places to share Nordic myths and quiet views. I’m also very familiar with the city center - from Majorstuen to Karl Johans gate and the hidden spots in between. Whether we're walking forest paths with stories in the air or exploring the quieter corners of town, I love helping travelers feel at home here. There’s a quiet magic in Oslo’s hills, and I’d love to help you find it.

We only had one night in Oslo and booked this experience to get a taste of the city. Mary was fantastic, warm, welcoming, and shared so much about the city. It definitely left us wanting to come back in the future! Would recommend to anyone.

Mary was so knowledgeable and warm. She made Oslo come alive for me.

Our guide, Mary, was very attentive to our questions which were somewhat random because we had never been to Oslo before. She knew both the history and current times. She let us set the pace and took us to spots that we would not have gone to on our own. We could not recommend her more highly.

A lot of walking, but that was our choice. Marie reached out and asked what our goals were before the tour and even during the tour gave us options of next steps and choices. We saw the opera house, the palace, the main square and the fortress. A lot of history and knowledge.
