Hello travelers! I'm Diana, your Local Oslo Guide, and I would be happy to show you my city. I have been working as a tour guide in Norway and Oslo for over 16 years. I hold a professional degree in tourism and a master's degree in international business. I am a also an Authorized Oslo Guide, and a Certified guide in The National Museum, offering tours in English and Spanish. I am also a pioneer guide in Virtual Tours in Oslo since 2020. Most of the time I have been guiding different tour activities in Oslo. I have spent a good chunk of my life traveling extensively. Apart from my innate passion for travel and tourism, I also highlights my time in certain countries, where I have stayed put for longer periods of time, including Australia, various South American countries, and of course Norway. I get a thrill from showing guests around Norway and I really enjoy getting to know people through their culture, traditions, art, and food. Oslo has changed a lot in recent years and is now one of Europe’s fastest-growing capitals. New places like the Munch Museum and the National Museum show how the city keeps evolving, together with people moving here from all over Norway and abroad. What I love most about Oslo is the balance between city life and nature. You’re in a modern capital, but forests, lakes, rivers, and the fjord are always close by. Let me know your interests and I can customized any tour in Oslo or in the surrounding areas of the city. I will help you discover places off the beaten track. I will also show you some hidden corners in Oslo and fun stories about the city and the locals. Last but not least, I love to take photos of nature, architecture, different seasons and sunsets. All the photos from my published tours are taken by me. I have my own Instagram gallery for showcasing Oslo and Norway for all my followers and clients. I will be happy to take you photos in my favorite spots in the city. Welcome to Oslo! Master of International Business, The University of Sydney - Australia. Bachelors in Administration and Tourism, SEK University - Chile. Authorized Oslo Guide - English, Spanish and Norwegian. Spanish Teacher at a high school level and at The University of Oslo. Certified for guiding in The National Museum in Oslo. Pioneer in Virtual Tours in Oslo with Amazon Explorer. Professional Photographer Certification. I'm an Authorized Oslo Guide and can guide in all museums in Oslo. My tours are either by public transportation, walking, or we can hire a car with driver. It is also possible to use a taxi and that must be paid on the spot. I can arrange longer tours outside Oslo such as in Drøbak, Kistefoss park, Hadeland glassverk or Telemark.

Overview of your Oslo tour

Let me show you the heart of Oslo, starting with why the Vikings founded Oslo, to our modern times. A walking tour in Oslo is the best way to experience in detail all the different areas in the city. If this is your first time in Oslo, this tour is perfect for a complete introduction to Oslo, where you'll dive into the heart of the city. You will visit the most important institutional buildings while learning about the culture, history and gastronomy of the country. You will learn why Oslo was called Pompeii of the North, the urban sauna culture and the Oslofjord. I will share stories of the famous artist Edvard Munch, the Opera House and the new award-winning library. Later we will learn about the harbor waterfront development, the Renaissance city and the Akershus Fortress. I include some World War II sites in the city. The last stop is the Parliament, the City Hall and the Royal Palace. This tour can be extended by including sculpture parks and museums.

Diana is an excellent tour guide. She put together a very comprehensive 3.5 hour tour of Oslo for my family while our cruise ship was in port. We covered all of the major highlights and even some hidden gems. The pre-tour communication was very fast and the day well organized. I would recommend Diana without reservation!!!
