Walking Tour - potential not fully realized

Visiting the 5 islands off Oslo is highly recommended. Unfortunately, our tour guide preferred making flippant remarks instead of sharing interesting facts. We found that very disappointing and would have preferred it otherwise.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting the five islands around Oslo. At the same time, we're sorry to hear that the guiding style did not match your expectations. Our guides are fully trained and each brings their own personality to the tour, while ensuring that the history and key facts about the islands are shared. As there were two guides on board that day, it is difficult for us to know exactly which part of the experience you are referring to. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and will use it as a reminder to maintain the right balance between informative storytelling and creating an enjoyable atmosphere on board. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future.
