The starting point was easy to find.
For those seeking a leisurely and calming afternoon experience lasting at least two hours, this tour is an excellent choice to consider.
We really enjoyed this small cruise around the fjord. The audio was clear and interesting
We really enjoyed the cruise, particularly the narrated guide over the tannoy. We learned some things we hadn’t yet learned and enjoyed stunning views around the Fjord. The toilets were clean and the bar had a great choice of drinks and a few snacks. Great value and a once in a lifetime experience!
The boat ride was beautiful, even with poor weather. We especially enjoyed the information given over the tannoy, lots of things we didn’t know already! The toilets were clean and the bar had a good selection of drinks as well as a few snacks,
Completely worth every penny. Gorgeous views and enough commentary to know what you are looking at without being overwhelmed with information. The drinks on board were reasonably priced as well.
I was a great boat ride even in the rain.
Thoroughly enjoyable, friendly, relaxing, scenic and informative cruise - highly recommend
This was such a lovely cruise! The rain and gloomy weather did not detract from the experience at all! I'm so happy I went. It's a good way to see the city of Oslo from the fjords.
All the commentary was ob one side and seats were uncomfortable. Worth doing for the views and free ferry to the museum island was brilliant as we would recommend the folk museum highly
