Hi, I’m Marianne, a proud Oslo local with a big love for sharing the magic of my city! I’m known for my friendly nature and knack for making every moment enjoyable, whether it’s strolling along the waterfront or uncovering hidden gems in Oslo’s coolest neighborhoods. Oslo’s charm lies in its diversity—stunning seaside views, lush parks, striking architecture, and incredible restaurants that cater to every palate. I’m a regular at the city’s museums and historic landmarks, but I also adore exploring neighborhoods like Grünerløkka and Grønland, each with its unique vibe and treasures waiting to be discovered. With me, you’ll dive into Oslo’s rich history, soak up its vibrant culture, and uncover the cool spots that make it truly special. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, a cultural dive, or a foodie adventure, I’m here to make your Oslo visit unforgettable

Marianne is a fabulous guide. She tailors the tour around your needs and is fascinating to talk to. Cannot recommend more highly.

Marianne attended on time. She was polite, friendly and welcoming. She gave us an overview of the walk and what would be seen to ensure we were happy with the itinerary. She made adjustments to the walk as we went to suit our choices. She observed our difficulties with mobilising due to one of us being blind by ensuring the pace of walking was set by us. We didn’t feel rushed or pushed into decisions about directional changes. She was respectful and natural in her interactions. We enjoyed her views and anecdotes shared. We would recommend her as a city guide to other travellers too Oslo looking to orientate themselves with what Oslo has to offer.

Marianne was outstanding. Great humor, smiled the whole time. She provided an intimate look into Oslo complete with local insider knowledge. We ate dinner at one of her recommended places and it was amazing!
