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

In this Oslo food and culture tour, we start with a walking tour in the city center before heading to the hipster neighborhood of Grünerløkka. As a local, I always enjoy pointing out where artist such as Munch (the creator of The Scream) once lived. Along the way, you’ll learn about Oslo’s culture and history while visiting my favourite local cafés, bars, and second-hand stores. We may also stop at a local market or sample Norwegian foods such as waffles with brown cheese, traditional fish soup, or eplemost (juice made from pressed apples) in some of the best cafés in Grünerløkka. If we are starting the tour after 3pm, we will stop at some of the best microbrewery's shops in Oslo. I will talk about the brewery culture in Norway. Along the way, we will pass Akerselva river, waterfalls and residential wooden houses with cobblestone streets. On Sundays, we have a street market with handmade products. I include a stop at a food market. The food market is closed on Mondays.

Diana is professional and knowledgeable. Quick communication and clear itinerary as I requested for an afternoon food/culture tour. We were glad that Diana recommended to visit Nobel Peace Center (close to our meeting location). It was worth a visit. We then had delicious reindeer sandwiches with lingonberry sauce at a traditional Norwegian restaurant. We stopped by a local supermarket after lunch to grab some snacks to bring home as souvernirs. At the end of the tour, we visited an annual food market, where we sampled and bought lots of yummy food. Sweet mustard and chili cheese were our favorites. Even we spent only an afternoon with Diana, we miss her like a longtime friend. We had so much fun. Definitely will have Diana again if we have a chance to be back to Oslo. Thanks so much, Diana :)

A guided tour with Diana is a great experience. Yes, she has a great foundation of knowledge, but she also has a passion for all things around her (culture, nature, food, spirits, history, points of interest, other), a keen eye for her surroundings, a quest for constant learning, an interest in the group she is with and what is important to them, and a great personality...a powerful combination. Thanks Diana!

The second day with Diana was even better! Incredible that she took the time to think about how best to tailor our time together on this second tour based on our discussions and comments on the first. Again, her knowledge, passion, and own experience are contagious and help you get a feel of the city’s culture and vibe and not just historic sites. Of all the tours I’ve done, Diana stands out as absolutely one the very best!

Diana was a great guide. She is fluent in Spanish as requested and has very good knowledge of Oslo and Norway in general. In this tour we visited Grunnerloka quarter and its surroundings, including some hidden gems and tasted local food along the way. Great walking tour.
