This bike tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Shane, was knowledgeable and funny. He’s one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. The bike itself was nicer than my bike at home and was very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Curtis gave us time to catch up, with a nice pace for all.
It was a great bike tour and I’ve done quite a few (Munich, Barcelona & Bucharest).

Liking Viking Biking
Curtis was our guide and was aided by Dr. John another female assistant that brought me my horned helmet, saddle bag to carry my things and took my photo for me! Curtis is an attorney with a masters who just was a wealth of information that he patient provided with much humor. We first went to a dock and experienced the peace of Oslo by the fjord in mediation for a few minutes, then the Oslo City Hall where Noble Peace Prize awarded, then the the National Palace, we went to the Askers (sp?) Castle, residential streets of West Oslo past a number of embassys, then a new wharf and Vigeland Park (maybe not in that order) but Curtis even provided us with an Oslo map of where we'd been. Took many photo of me for me since I was solo. Just so much fun riding on the calm Oslo streets in the warm sunshine like a Viking in my horned helmet!

Wonderful Tour-Wonderful Ride
Greg guide Curtis who is actually the owner. He has a wonderful personality and really knows what he is doing. Bikes are good. Went longer than planned which was great. Saw a lot and learned a lot.

Easy Rider
This was a pedal bike - not e-bike - tour. Almost entirely flat and very easy, so having to pedal was a non-issue. Should be reassuring to everyone. Our guide Leo was informative and entertaining. A great way to get oriented in the city and see some of the highlights.

Highly recommend!! This...
Highly recommend!! This is an amazing way to see so many different parts of Oslo in 3 hours. We only had a few days to spend here and this bike tour made seeing a lot of the city very easy and we learned so much more than we could have just on our own! Curtis (owner and operator) was our tour guide and he was fabulous! He made the entire experience so fun and was so knowledgeable. Thank you to Curtis and everyone at Viking Biking for making this experience so special and one we will never forget.
