Description
A guided bike tour is a safe and unique way to discover Oslo, a bike friendly city with very limited car traffic, bike paths and green parks in every neighborhood. Your guide will not only guide you safely around the city, but share stories about life in Oslo and Norway: history as well as cultural aspects like food, weather, the welfare state, politics, nature and more.
During uncertain times due to the Covid-19 crisis, it is wise to choose an outdoor activity with good distance between participants. A private bike tour is the perfect option.
Feel like a local and discover the city by bike. In this 3-hour version of our popular private bike tour, you will have enough time to see the must-see sites while still having plenty of time during the rest of the day to visit museums, enjoy local restaurants or discover Oslo's amazing nature. Feel free to tell the guide about any sites you want to visit and we can tailor the tour to your needs!

Perfect way to see Oslo
We did the 3 hour bike tour (electric bikes were great). Romik was a great guide. Very informed, welcoming and friendly. We were only in town for one day so this was the perfect way to cover a lot of the city. Romik also gave us some great recommendations- not least Himkok cocktail bar which was a highlight of our Oslo stay. Thanks for being such a great guide.

fine bike tour in Oslo
We booked a private bike tour in Oslo a day before. Our Dutch guide Karen gave us an excellent tour. Her knowledge and experience in Oslo and Norway was very educational for the whole family. A bike that broke down along the way was quickly changed. thanks!

A good way to discover Oslo
You can see the city of Oslo by bike. Andreas, the guide, knew how to tell more than just the history of Oslo. Along the way there was often a stop, which was good. There was time for photos, time to explore the neighborhood on your own. Highly recommended to discover the city.
