Welcome to Oslo! My name is Marcela and I'm a certified Oslo guide since 2018. I have a bachelor degree in languages and currently work as a Language teacher at the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Norway. I combine this job with guiding, which is my true passion as I love meeting new people! Brazilian by birth, I moved to Oslo in 2010 and I started into the Tourism indutry as a tour leader in the Nordic Countries. I've travelled from the northernmost to the southernmost points of Norway and I will be happy to give you tips and suggestions for your tour. Food, history, museums, music, photography and nature are some of my interests. You can expect a guide full of energy, enthusiasm and warmth if you decide to join my tours.

Overview of your Oslo tour

Take a walk through Oslo with me, it's the best way to get to know this beautiful, modern and cosmopolitan capital surrounded by nature. Oslo is also a city where the locals are friendly and where you can find many excellent restaurants, bars and cafes or galleries. I will be happy to recommend you the best ones! Discover Oslo's city center and major attractions, while interacting with the locals, checking out historical buildings, window shopping and seeing the buzz. The city center is where you see Norwegians going back and forth from work, shopping or chilling at a local pub. If you are lucky, maybe you get to see a politician on their way to a meeting at the parliament! We are going to see both historical and modern sites and you will understand how Norway has developed to become one of the world's wealthiest nations, in many ways! Let's go!

Marcela is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We became fast friends as we learned about Oslo! We would book with her again without hesitation - her walking tour was just what we needed to start our first visit to Norway.

Lovely walk around the city on a bright, winters day. Highlight was City Hall and cinnamon rolls. Marcella was an excellent guide! Many thanks

We did a walking tour of Oslo with Marcella, and learned about the history of Norway along the way. The tour included some of the newer sections of the city too. Marcella easily adjusted the tour, as we had one in our family group of 5 who had some mobility issues. Once this person saw what he was interested in seeing, he wanted to go back to the ship. Marcella called for a cab back to drive him to the ship Marcella and spoke to the driver to make sure our brother was taken on the most direct route to the ship. She was very personable, and shared her love history and travel during our tour.

Your Oslo tour itinerary

The following is my suggested tour itinerary: 1. Meet and greet at your hotel lobby or arrival port. 2. See the Royal Palace, the National Theatre and the Norwegian Parliament. Most of time is walking by while I will provide relevant information and answer your questions
. 3. Walk to Oslo's City Hall where the Nobel Peace Prize is held. Visit inside will be for about 40 minutes. (They close eventually without previous notice, when events are being held. In that case we will walk around it and I will explain the history while pointing out some interesting details). 
 
4. Passing by a few remaining highlights of the city, shopping malls, pubs and restaurants, we will then visit Oslo's cathedral. 5. Walk to the modern part of town, I will show you the city's development, the rich nation that Norway has become while we walk about the rooftop of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet. - If you are looking for a customized tour plan, don't hesitate to contact me.
