The driver and guide were both exceptional. They kept things moving and on time. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She knew the history/events of Norway as she and her family have always been from the area.
Drove by some points of interest with knowledgable guide, spent time at Ski Jump, walked through sculpture park with thorough commentary from our guide and spent time in two museums, Fram and Folk museum. Enjoyed both very much! Excellent overall tour with a wonderful guide!
An excellent way to see many of the most interesting sights in Oslo. The guide was outstanding and shared so much knowledge as we drove through the various parts of the city. The ski jump was a unique opportunity, the Vigeland Park was amazing and the Norwegian Folk museum and Fram museum were both excellent. We took just the right amount or time at each stop. Highly recommended!
Chris could not have been a better tour guide - funny and knowledgeable and just made the day perfect despite some light rain. He made what we saw come alive and this is NOT a tour I would pass up - a fun and educational time was had by both of us!
Our tour guide was outstanding. I think his name was Chris. He was tall and blonde with a great sense of humor. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Denmark. He should’ve been a history teacher or professor. He would make it fun to learn more. It was nice to be on a clean and new bus too. Very impressed with tour.
This was a fantastic, full-day tour of Oslo and Norwegian history. Our guide was exceptionally informative and charming.
This was an incredibly informative and entertaining tour. If you don’t have a lot of time in Oslo this tour covers a lot of ground and is fantastic value.
The store was exactly as advertised. The weather was perfect and so we were able to enjoy all of the locations on the trip. While the stops felt a little short, even though they were an hour and a half it was certainly long enough to see the main points of what there was to see and also gave us a good idea of what we might want to go back and see again in the future. Was well worth the trip.
This was a wonderful, comprehensive tour which provided transportation to a wide range of Oslo attractions. Who knew an Olympic ski jump could be such an interesting visit? By far the highlight for us was the open-air Norsk Folkemuseum. The different historical structures were very cool to see. Our tour guide, Rita, was extremely knowledgeable and indefatigable. She did an awesome job!
For a great overview of the beautiful city of Oslo, this tour fits the bill. Great and informative tour!
