What a wonderful tour. Our guide, Julianne was very knowledgeable and engaging. She was fluid and flawless in her delivery and punctuation. The journey was paced just right and the spots we visited were carefully curated. We enjoyed every bit of our Oslo adventure and highly recommend this to everyone visiting this lovely city.
Ideal tour if your time in Oslo is limited.You would see all the interesting sites and attractions all in one day.The best part of this tour was the guide, Rita, who spoke excellent English, very informative and also very funny and entertaining. Highly recommended.
The tour was 5.5 hours and was very interesting, especially the Fram ship Museum, and seeing up close and in person the Oslo ski jump. Janine was an excellent tour guide and told us a wealth of stories and information about each of the stops as well as when we were riding through the city. Our driver, Michael, was a very skilled driver. From pick up to drop off, this tour was great!
This was an excellent tour and seemed well thought out. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. We thought the stops were well chosen. I highly recommend it.
Christopher was a great tour guide with a booming voice for all to hear. The Fram museum was awesome. I wish we could have spent 90 minutes there as there is so much information to learn.
Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, always willing to answer questions. He showed tremendous pride in Norway and its way of life.
Fantastic tour of Oslo. Our Guide Helene was incredibly knowledgeable full of energy and made the trip fantastic. Highly recommend this. Gives you a great overview of Oslo. When we went in the museum, she knew all the details and gave a great background for all of us newbies. Highly recommend this.
This was a wonderful introduction to Oslo. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, kind and friendly.
Very long and detailed tour with lots of good Oslo history. From crazy sculptures to Viking boats, this tour did a great job. We did not add the water component but I wish we would have.
There are various flavors of this tour that the operator is able to consolidate. Bus tour (including Ski Jump), Bus and Museums, Bus and Museums and Cruise. The tour guide was very informative and kept to the schedule. There is a lot of walking involved. There isn't actually enough time to reasonably explore each of the many attractions. No lunch break (naturally, but they sell some refreshments at reasonable prices). The bus does have a restroom. We wisely elected to take the relaxed silent cruise on a separate day. Pay close attention to the precise pickup point that is provided. Tour would be degraded if inclement weather (Vigeland, Outdoor Museum).
