A fantastic way to see the city and countryside

What a fantastic way to see the city of Oslo and it's spectacular countryside. We were on board Cunard's Queen Anne and saw a motorbike and side car combo collecting some guests and decided that we wanted to try that too. At first we were told that it was unlikely as they had two bikes on maintenance, but he would do his very best. After a short while, Paul got back to us and confirmed a booking for the following day. Our trip took just over two hours, slightly over the allocated time because we hit the afternoon rush hour on the way back to our ship. We paid £217, which for two hours, with a one to one friendly and knowledgeable guide we think was very good value for money. It was fabulous fun. As we drove past people in the street, they waved to us. Brilliant!! We cannot recommend Retro Tours Norway more highly.

Operator response

Thank you so much for leaving us your thoughts about your tour and very pleased you enjoyed it so much. Traffic can get busy occasionally which means overrunning the scheduled 2 hours can sometimes occur. Thanks again for all your positive feedback.

Brilliant unique tour of Oslo

What a fantastic and unique way to tour Oslo. Our driver Oystein was most courteous and careful. Don’t bother with bus tour, this is much more fun.

Great way to see Oslo

This was a great time and a great way to see the city. We went to both the “scream” overlook and the ski jump. So one side of town to the other. We have been to Oslo before so he customized the trip some so not repeating. It’s also fun to watch everyone’s reactions to the side car. We were on a cruise ship and got in a little late and we were glad that they could swap times around to accommodate us. Highly recommend.

Operator response

Hi Allison, very pleased you enjoyed your tour of Oslo with us. Luckily all our rider/guides are very experienced and knowledgeable about Oslo and can therefore adapt the tours to suit. This means, as you rightly point out, you can avoid visiting places already seen. Thank you for leaving such a positive review .

Traveling to Oslo, Motorcycle Sidecar ride is a must!

My family and friends booked 3 Retro Motorcycles directly with Paul via email, the coordination was superb down to the last detail. Our drivers met us off our Viking ship dockside and off we went. The day exceeded every expectation and rivaled any of our excursions booked on Viking. All our drivers spoke English and were great fun to talk to. Should we return to Oslo we will book this ride over and over again. If we could give them 10+ stars we would. Amazing day, a special memory for all and the best way by far to tour the city. Even if you feel unsure about motorcycles, do it, as it is sure to be a highlight of your trip.

Operator response

Hi Melinda, thank you so much for leaving us the best possible feedback. So glad the whole family enjoyed the experience. I know Helge, Jan Erik and Per Arne thoroughly enjoyed showing you around Oslo. Welcome back anytime!

Such a Fun Way to See Oslo with Helge!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a Fun Way to See Oslo with Helge! We had an absolutely fantastic motorcycle sidecar tour of Oslo with Helge! This was such a unique and fun way to explore the city, and definitely an experience we won’t forget. Helge was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He took us to all of the major sights around Oslo, stopping along the way so we could really experience each location while he shared interesting stories and history about the city and Norway. We learned so much while still having a really fun and relaxed time. Traveling by motorcycle and sidecar made the experience even more special. It was a great way to cover a lot of Oslo, see the highlights, and enjoy the city from a completely different perspective. Helge was a wonderful guide, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oslo. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable, and informative way to see the city, this is definitely the way to do it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Operator response

Hi Chrissie, thanks so much for the very positive feedback. Helge and our other rider/guides all know Oslo well and all enjoy sharing their knowledge of the city. Touring Oslo in a retro styled motorbike and sidecar makes for a totally different, unique and fun packed experience! So pleased you enjoyed it so much and thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

Lifetime tour of Oslo

Absolutely the best way to see Oslo up close. Our Captain and guide, Helge, was outstanding, and tailored our trip to see areas that were not accessible by tour busses. This excursion is very highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I will ensure to let Helge know your thoughts!

So much fun!!

Book this tour!! We cruised the entire Baltic and this was our favorite tour. We had all ages in our group, from 13 to 75 years old and everyone had a blast! Our guides were knowledgable and fun and took us to see sights we hadn't seen on the tour we did with the cruise line. In true Norway fashion, it poured rain during our tour, but it was still so fun! They provided rain ponchos to those who needed them. It was pretty exhilarating on the freeway and through the tunnels at higher speeds, so if you bring grandma you might want to put her in the sidecar! The motorcycles turn a lot of heads so get ready for some random photos from strangers.

Operator response

Hi John, thanks so much for leaving us your thoughts about your tour. Even in the rain this is still fun and as you point out it goes for all ages…. Very glad you all enjoyed it so much!

Our guide Helge was...

Our guide Helge was personable and knowledgeable and even thought it was a very rainy day, the tour was still fun. I would love to do this again on a sunny day.

Operator response

Hi Jolene, very pleased you enjoyed the tour so much despite the rain. Just a shame the sun wasn’t out. I will pass on your kind comments to Helge. Thank you for providing us with your feedback.

Great experience around Oslo - exceeded expectations

Overall, experience was excellent and exceeded expectations. Our guide, Oystein, arrived on time and made us feel very comfortable from the start. He was a very nice person and very informative, a great guide. Gave us fantastic facts about Oslo throughout our tour and took us to amazing places that you would not typically see as a tourist. So nice that our retro bike brought many smiles from people along our journey. We’ve never done something like this before. It is must experience whilst in Oslo - go for it!

Operator response

Hi Mike, Thanks very much for your positive feedback. As you mention, one of the many bonuses of touring on a motorbike and sidecar is the ability to visit places that you wouldn’t otherwise necessarily visit. And it always brings lots of smiles from passers by! So pleased you enjoyed your tour under the guidance of Øystein. I will ensure to pass on your kind comments to him.
