I’m known for my friendly nature and knack for making every moment enjoyable, whether it’s strolling along the waterfront or uncovering hidden gems in Oslo’s coolest neighborhoods. Oslo’s charm lies in its diversity—stunning seaside views, lush parks, striking architecture, and incredible restaurants that cater to every palate. I’m a regular at the city’s museums and historic landmarks, but I also adore exploring neighborhoods like Grünerløkka and Grønland, each with its unique vibe and treasures waiting to be discovered. With me, you’ll dive into Oslo’s rich history, soak up its vibrant culture, and uncover the cool spots that make it truly special. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, a cultural dive, or a foodie adventure, I’m here to make your Oslo visit unforgettable

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.

As a considerate and resourceful individual, I find immense joy in helping others explore and appreciate the unique charm of this city. What I love most about Oslo is the seamless blend of urban vibrancy and natural beauty; you can be in the heart of bustling streets, turn a corner, and suddenly find yourself immersed in a tranquil, natural setting. The long summer nights add a distinctive, enchanting atmosphere to the city. I am an avid foodie and a social person, always eager to dive into Oslo's rich food culture with friends. From hidden gems to high-end restaurants, I know the best spots for culinary delights. I also enjoy making the most of Oslo’s stunning fjords and islands. My expertise spans the neighborhoods of Grünerløkka, Frogner, Sagne, and Bjørvika, where I am well-versed in the finest places for food and drinks. I closely follow the city’s development, understanding 99% of the new projects and their purposes. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for Oslo with you.

Hi, I’m Shaf

Oslo

One of the things I find most special about this city is how easily nature and urban life blend together - from hopping on a metro straight into the forest to taking a ferry to the islands. Every season brings its own magic here, whether it’s warm summer picnics or snowy winter adventures. I’m passionate about Oslo’s history, food, and craft beer scene and I know the city inside out - from Grünerløkka’s vibrant streets to the quiet trails of Holmenkollen. When I’m not guiding, you’ll find me foraging for mushrooms or discovering a new local restaurant. Oslo never stops surprising me and I love helping visitors experience that same wonder!

Hi, I’m Rodrigo

Oslo

What makes this city so special to me is the way nature and urban life exist side by side. You can explore vibrant neighborhoods one moment and be surrounded by forests, islands, or fjord views the next. I’m passionate about Oslo’s history, architecture, culture, and food, and I enjoy sharing the stories that bring the city to life. Whether we’re wandering through Frogner, Sagene, the historic city center, or uncovering lesser-known local spots, I’ll help you experience Oslo beyond the guidebooks. I also love introducing guests to Norwegian traditions, everyday life, and the city’s diverse international atmosphere. My goal is to create a relaxed, personal experience that feels like exploring Oslo with a knowledgeable local friend.

Marianne was great. Met us at our hotel and tailored the tour to our interests. Just the right amount of history, political and some pictures for social media. She also kept the pace slow enough for us 60 year olds. Great job.

Wonderful, informative… we did a fairly short stroll around Oslo with lots of information. Sheena did a wonderful job of making the tour interesting for us. We loved the library, art and stories about life in Norway. She clearly loves Her country and made us love it too.

Marianne was our guide for a three-hour walking tour of Oslo, and she went above and beyond in providing an unforgettable experience. Marianne has an engaging personality that will keep you interested throughout, and (being an Oslo native) she is able to navigate across the city with amazing efficiency. I wanted to see any sites that dealt with Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, and Marianne came through with a couple of great stops. She knows Oslo as only a native can, and she passed her knowledge along to us. We are delighted to give Marianne our very highest recommendation!
