We visited Oslo on a day trip from Stockholm. Our time was limited and the 2 hr tour was worth it! Our guide Sheenam was amazing and really helped us understand the history and details of the city. — Daniel , Oslo

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.

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!

Cherissa 6 December 2025

Marianne is very knowledgeable about Oslo, its history, and its sights. I learnt not just about the key monuments, but also a fair bit of Norway's history! As a first time visitor to Norway, this was a wonderful introduction to Norway, and it's useful for me to know which spots I would like to return to and spend more time at. Also, I am appreciative that Marianne helped me take some photos, which can be sometimes challenging as a solo traveller. She is also very personable, so it felt like talking to a friend rather than being on a tour.

We recently went on a walking tour of Oslo with Sheenam Thakur from your organisation. Since I have not received any email from you asking for my rating, so I am emailing you. I just wanted to say that we had an excellent tour with Sheenam on October 1st. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and took great pains to explain the history of the city, the significance of various buildings and places, and even introduced us to some delicious local food. I would rate our tour as "Excellent" and wish Sheenam all the very best for the future.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
