I am a dedicated Oslo guide, born and grown up in Oslo where I have lived all my life and have been working here as a guide since 2017. I have lived in almost all parts of Oslo, representing the large diversity of social and economic living conditions. I have had a variety of occupations in this city and therefore know how the city looks like from different perspectives. It was therefore quite natural for me to become an Oslo guide, a city I am proud of and would love to present to visitors. I offer some planned tours, but these could be adjusted based on your preferences, and I may also offer fully customized tours. I have as well been working several years as a tour leader in Norway and Scandinavia, and I can therefore offer customized tours from Oslo to different regions in Norway. Oslo can offer a unique combination of historical and cultural attractions of a large city, a variety of good restaurants, and beautiful surroundings. Situated at the end of a long fjord and surrounded by hills and a large forest, and with its many parks, it can offer a variety of opportunities for boat trips, hiking, biking, swimming, fishing and for skiing in the winter time. After visiting museums or other attractions in the city, a 25 minutes tour with the metro takes you to the forest where you can walk or bike for many miles and have a swim. You can even have a sauna and a swim at a beach in the inner city close to the Opera house if you want; the water is clean!

Vikings, stave church, silver mining, porselain factory outlet
Overview of your Oslo tour
In addition to visit Oslo, you may take the opportunity also to see the region around Oslo. There are many fascinating sites and attractions where it is possible to enjoy and learn about Norwegian history from the viking age to recent times. There are sites with burial mounds from the viking age, a viking museum and the Viking hall "Gildehallen". The hall is a magnificent reconstruction of one of the Viking's major party halls. You may visit an old silver mine from 1623 which was active until 1958, and with 1000 km of mine shafts it was one of the largest in Europe. A train takes you in to the shafts. There is a museum telling the history of mining. Along the route we will stop by a wooden stave church from 1200 AD, the largest in Norway. We will visit a porselain factory outlet where you may buy handmaid products or just have a look at the products in the museum. It is also possible to visit a museum showing the history of whaling.
