Ingunn was absolutely an amazing guide! She was incredibly kind and always available to assist with anything. Super welcoming, friendly, and full of positive energy, she made the experience truly unforgettable. She shared so many great tips and told us beautiful stories about the city of Oslo, making us appreciate it even more. Her deep knowledge and enthusiasm for Oslo made everything even more special. Ingunn is, without a doubt, the best guide we’ve ever had in Oslo!

I had the absolute pleasure of joining a tour with OsloNature during my visit to Oslo, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the very start, her passion for the city and deep knowledge of its history were evident. She made every stop along the tour engaging, with fascinating stories that brought Oslo to life in ways I never expected.Her warmth and attentiveness ensured everyone in the group felt included and cared for. She even tailored parts of the tour to suit our interests, offering personalized recommendations that made my Oslo adventure even more special. I can’t recommend OsloNature enough if you’re looking for an informative and delightful experience. She’s truly a gem!

Hiking here in October was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had! Our guide, Ingunn, was incredibly friendly, and her travel companion, a puppy named Nero, added an extra layer of fun and bonding for the group. Snacks and drinks were provided for anyone who needed them. The group size is kept small, no more than 10 people—ours was just 5, including the guide. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an opportunity to connect with Norwegian wildlife.
