I am a tour guide with approximately 6 years of experience. I came to Norway for love of a person and I ended up falling in love with its nature, culture and of course the people. I want to show you its tourist attractions, tell you about its history and culture, but above all, give you the best advice to enjoy your days in the Nordic capital. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to other people so that they can make the most of their vacations and have an unforgettable experience. I love traveling and learning about different cultures. I have been working as a local guide for 2 years in Norway, doing free tours around the tourist center of the city. I invite you to participate in this experience to discover Oslo as a unique and impressive city and it doesn't always have to be so expensive.

Winter in Oslo transforms the city into a magical wonderland, making it an ideal time for a walking tour. Start your exploration at the bustling Karl Johans Gate, where you can admire the beautiful holiday lights and shop for traditional Norwegian crafts.

For families, a visit to the Oslo Winter Park is a must.
