Wonderful experience in an amazing landscape. If you enjoy hiking in nature and having the chance to take a refreshing dip in the crystalline sea, this excursion should be on your bucket list!
Magnificent visit and discovery, great story from the guide who was super nice, the islands are sumptuous, especially the last island and those who wish can stay longer and go swimming
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the islands, the guide's storytelling, and the beauty of the Oslofjord. The last island is indeed a perfect place to stay a little longer and enjoy a swim for those who wish. We hope to welcome you on board again on your next visit to Oslo!
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.
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.
