Fantastic guide. Must be able to walk up and down multiple stairs. Best on a nice day. Beautiful museums and countryside.
Elena was an excellent guide, we learned so much about Norway and the sites we visited. The electric coach was very clean and comfortable. We really liked the Holmenkollen Ski Jump and the Vigeland Sculpture Park.
This was an excellent excursion. Our guide was knowledgeable and made sure everyone was aware of any difficult walking places. She also stopped and explained each place we stopped at. She allowed time fir picture taking and questions.
Excellent experience; highly recommend! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond ☺️
Fabulous overview of Oslo tour! Our guide Elena was extraordinary. She clearly explained what we were seeing in an engaging manner, and she kept us on time.
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.
