Amazing!

This is honestly one of the greatest tours I have ever been on. The Guide was not only knowledgeable, but LOVES Norway and his job. We traveled all.over the place. When you get to the ski jump you MUST try the ski simulator, it is too funny and fun. The tour if the sculpture park was both deeply personal, and yet funny at many times too. The tour of the Kon Tiki Museum was outstanding, our guide had a personal connection to the book The Kon Tiki and his depth of information was awesome. The Fram Museum was also amazing, too bad the cold simulator was broken (not the tours fault, the.museum needs to fix it.)

If you are going to Oslo you must take thus overview tour first. It is not to be missed.

We only had a couple days in Oslo w. No car. We figured a bus tour was going to be the best way to see most of the sites in the short amount of time. Glad we choose this tour. The guide, Chris, and the driver, Victor (?), were both friendly, funny, and informative. They did drive around the sites, Chris gave short descriptions of each site, as well as weaving in stories about the history of Oslo the entire time. The stop at Vigeland Park was the highlight… I wish we had more time to go back ourselves later on our trip. At the end, Chris took us to 2 smaller museums. Museums I probably would not have considered if picking one or two to visit on our own. But both turned out to be very interesting & glad the tour highlighted them!

All in all, great tour

Amazing!

It really does hit the local highlights, and there is about equal time on the bus in the morning and walking in the afternoon. The Wiegland sculpture gardens, the outdoor folk museum, and the arctic exploration museum were all wonderfully interesting. Our guide, Anita, was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to spend the day with!

Amazing!

Excellent overview of the city provided by our guide Rita. We were in the safe hands of Viktor our bus driver. The tour lasted 5 and a half hours. The only disappointment was the ski jump. There was a blanket of fog down and we could not see anything. I loved the sculpture park which we walked through.We also visited two museums. The Fram museum which holds the Fram ship used by Roald Amundsen was a big hit for me. We also visited a folk village which gave an excellent insight into life in the various parts of Norway. Highly recommend!

We booked this trip to get an idea of what to look out for in Oslo, & this trip with our tour guide Eleyna & driver Michael didn’t disappoint. As a result, we are going to visit the Opera House, Nobel Museum & the Munch gallery. We got to see the Norwegian Parliament & the Palace. The Sculpture Park, Kon Tiki Museum & The Folk Museum were amazing.
