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.

My reviews

Mary was a phenomenal guide. She listened to what we wanted (flowers nature hidden gems) & focused our tour on this. It gave us a completely different perspective on Oslo. Can’t say enough good things about her and her communication

We loved the tour Mary had prepared for us. Places that we would not have found ourselves. It’s easy to find the main sights on your own. We also loved Mary as a tour guide, we had interesting conversations. Informative in a cosy setting, we moved in slow pace, talked, discussed. She also gave us recommendations for later, things that couldn’t fit the time we had. Great thank you for that:)
