  Before diving into the travel world, my life was a melody of different tunes, and years of extensive travels helped me becoming a travel guru. It was in 2015, together with Ilana, that I unexpectedly co-founded Nordiva Tours. Our mission was pretty straightforward: to guide like-minded souls towards the raw beauty of nature and the authenticity of real experiences.

  Planning trips for our clients isn’t about picking out the usual hotspots. I put in the legwork, connecting with the faces behind the newest and most intriguing travel experiences. This ensures that our travelers aren’t just going places, but genuinely immersing themselves in what those places have to offer.

  Away from the world of itineraries and destinations, I'm likely engaged in a hobby that’s less about adrenaline and more about simple pleasures, or I'm enjoying quality time with my family. While my days of being a musician might seem like a distant echo, the journey has led me here, to a place where I can help others explore the world in meaningful ways. It’s not the path I expected, but it's one I wouldn’t change for anything.

  Ilana

  Manager and product developerGuide in Oslo and Akershus

  I've got a big love for culture and history, and luckily, I get to share that love through my job in travel. Having a bit of a knack for historical facts, I've turned into the go-to person for travelers trying to fit in without sticking out. It's one thing to see a new place, but knowing how to chat with locals without making a faux pas? That's where I shine, dishing out tips on how to blend in smoothly.

  I’m also all about keeping up with what's happening in the world. It makes traveling more meaningful when you understand a bit about the local news or the latest event in town. It adds an extra layer to the adventure, making every trip a bit more special.

  But the best part? Jumping into new cultures and meeting folks from all walks of life. There’s something magical about sharing stories with someone from a totally different background. It turns a simple journey into a collection of priceless moments.

  So, while I might forget the practical stuff like the right phone charger, I always pack an open mind and a ready smile, eager to learn, share, and maybe even drop a fun historical fact here and there. Who says you can’t mix a bit of history with your travels?

  Booking ManagerMaster in Cultural Heritage

  Norway is truly a hidden gem, and I'm eager to share my knowledge and passion with you. Whether you're interested in breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, or delicious local cuisine, Norway has something to offer for everyone. I believe that travel is not just about seeing new places, but also about connecting with the people and the environment around us. That's why I'm dedicated to creating immersive travel experiences that allow us to learn, grow, and explore together.

  As a tour guide, I have a wealth of knowledge about Norway's history, culture, and wildlife. But more than that, I'm a big animal lover, and I'm always looking for opportunities to observe and learn about the fascinating creatures that call Norway home. Whether we're hiking through the mountains or cruising along the fjords, I'll be there to share my insights and help you make the most of your adventure.

  Leisure Travel ExpertTour Operator

  I’m Alla, your not-so-typical travel enthusiast and an unintended expert of North European cuisine. Alongside my love for exploring, I’ve picked up a quirky mix of knowledge on a variety of topics that, frankly, aren’t always directly related to travel. But hey, who says you can’t discuss the architectural merits of a medieval Baltic castle one minute and the proper way to ferment fish the next?

  My heart beats for the cold, stunning landscapes of the Baltic states, Finland, and Norway. I’m on a mission to prove that there’s more to these places than chilly weather and dark winters. It’s about the warmth of the people, the unique traditions, and yes, even the food that can surprise you (in a good way, mostly).

  I specialize in crafting experiences that aim to connect you deeper with the regions we visit. Want to learn how to sauna like a Finn, why Latvians are obsessed with their forests, or how Norwegians turn any outdoor space into a living room? I’m your guide. Let’s just say, if you’re looking to explore the beauty of Northern Europe I promise it’ll be as unique as my approach to travel and everything else in between.

  Leisure Travel Manager Spanish Guide in Oslo

  I am a certified Oslo Guide specializing in history and architecture. I love to create sustainable and regenerative travel experiences in collaboration with enthusiasts from many unique destinations.
  I love skiing, swimming, climbing mountains, foraging for wild mushrooms or berries with my family, hiking the hills of Norway to see the midnight sun on midsummer's eve, or just sitting by a campfire surrounded by friends after an early morning hike up to one of our local peaks.

  Soy guía certificada en Oslo especialista en historia y arquitectura. Me encanta crear excursiones sostenibles en colaboración con gente entusiasta en diferentes localidades. Disfruto el esquí, golf y adoro los caballos. Soy amante de la vida al aire libre y disfruto las caminatas en el bosque de Oslo recogiendo frutos en el verano o setas en el otoño o simplemente paseando y disfrutando del paisaje. Me encanta conocer gente y mostrarles la belleza de los paisajes y la rica historia de Noruega.
