Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ihor

I'm passionate about history and architecture. 26 years ago I got fascinated by tourism as a source of travel, beauties and values I could share with people from around the world. I like photography and city exploring in search of interesting places, stories, hidden details and unusual viewpoints.

My favorite themes include history, food, art and cozy nature escapes. I enjoy meeting people from other countries and using my sense of humor.

Welcome to Oslo, where history and innovations make an exciting blend! I also do tours to other beautiful spots of Norway, tailor routes and do tourist escorts. Lets explore together!

We had a truly wonderful few hours with Ihor who took us onto the Oslo Fjord visiting the islands of Hovedøya, Lindøya and Gressholmen. All islands were diffierent; (i) Hovedøya had ruins of an ancient monastery, WW2 bunker and cannons, (ii) Lindøya had over 300 brightly coloured (red, green and yellow) cabins where City folk escape to for a break and (iii) Gressholmen was more of a ‘wild’ island that had less development. This island was our favourite because of the stunning views down the Oslo Fjord and back up to the City. Ihor is a lovely guy, with a lot of amazing stories and his knowledge of Oslo is incredible. The other thing that made the trip is Ihor’s passion for Oslo and this really was engaging. If you’re looking to do something different away from the hustle and bustle of the City then this tour is definitely for you. Just make sure you check the weather and wear the right clothing and footwear - this is a must even if you think otherwise. Oslo Fjords Island Tour

Ihor was wonderful. While most businesses were closed on New Year’s Day he found plenty of sights to show us and we were able to get a sense of the city and to have a list of things to do the rest of the trip. Perfect amount of history and local information with recommendations for food during our stay as well. Can’t wait to come back! Wonderful way to explore Oslo!

We had such a great time with Ihor! He showed us different parts of the city with focus on architecture and what it's like to live and work in Oslo. We journeyed through time all the way from the days of Kristiana to the new Barcode area. It was also great to hear about his experience being an immigrant in Norway. Great Introduction to Life in Oslo

We had a great time on our food tour with Ihor. He’s very passionate about history, art, and architecture, and we got a glimpse into that on our tour. It was a nice mix of sightseeing, a bit of history, and of course food! We tried some fantastic cured meat, a traditional Norwegian waffle, some wonderful salmon sushi, and some fish stew and traditional Norwegian meats. We took this tour on our first evening in Oslo, and it was a nice introduction to the city!Fun food tour with historical tidbits

Greatly enjoyed our Oslo tour with Ihor. A comprehensive tour with interesting facts and stories of how Oslo has evolved over the years. Especially enjoyed Ihor pointing out places a tourist may not think to explore, like the library! Also took advantage of his food tips. Thank you, Ihor, for a very enjoyable and informative day in Oslo!Local view of Oslo

Our family of five spent our first afternoon in Oslo with Ihor, and it was the best way to learn about the city and plan out our stay. He took us through many neighborhoods and imparted his knowledge of history, architecture, and politics, and interspersed the tour with restaurant recommendations, too. We highly recommend!Beat way to learn about Oslo
