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!

Norwegian Artists, Exploreres and Athletes Covered in Fun Tour
Educational and relaxed bus tour with several stops. The bus was clean, had $3 euro cokes!, a bathroom and plenty of room. Victor our driver was very attentive in making sure we were comfortable and Sebastian our tour guide was funny and informative. We passed by and learned about National Palace, ballet, Noble Institute, Parliament, Askershus Castle and stopped at the Ski Jump (which we are going back to on Saturday to ride the zipline), Vigeland Park (which had a bunch of interesting naked statues) and Fram Museum (which was really interesting with the actual vessle that traversed to the North Pole and was the first to reach the South Pole and the history of the man involved). I normally don't like bus tours but this one was good so I recommend it.

Such a great day
I had the best day sightseeing in Oslo. What an amazing city, we were so lucky with the weather as well. I was a solo traveller on this excursion and it really was worth every penny and was a great experience. I have to say a huge thank you to the guide, Iori, he was absolutely fabulous. What he didn't know and couldn't tell you about all of the places we visited isn't worth knowing. He was patient, answered questions and made the day so interesting. I have already said "Iori said....." too many times to count sharing the wonderful facts he gave. So worth it.

What a lovely nature walk!
Our guide, John, escorted us through two islands and shared his knowledge with us about dry cabins, the value that Norwegian citizens place on nature, and archaeoligic history of some of the ruins we encountered on the tour. It was a beautiful day for island hopping and John also has a sense of humor, which made this mini excursion all the more fun!

Beautiful Tour!
This was so much fun, and we learned all about the small islands surrounding Oslo. There was quite a bit of walking involved, but none of it strenuous. A breathtaking, unique perspective of Oslo! Our guide was amiable, accommodating, and shared a lot of interesting facts. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful guide, Selia who was very knowledgeable about the city, and took us to several eating places to sample a variety of local foods. All excellent. We were a small group of 4, so easy to hear, and learn about the others. Ther is about 3 miles of walking with stops along the way, and some hills. All in all, a wonderful tour.

We had such an enjoyable boat tour in the beautiful Oslo fjord. Adrian, our capable captain, is extremely knowledgable about Norwegian history, the fjords and points of interest in Oslo. We are so fortunate that we booked with him for our first day in the city. Later in the week, we enjoyed restaurant recommendations and a pleasant hike that Adrian suggested. Five star experience! We highly recommend booking with Adrian.

This is a beautiful cruise tour. Don't let bad weather stop you. They provide cover, cushions and heat lamps. Nice!
The shrimp still have their heads on- ewww. But the boat ride is beautiful. We had this booked for a very rainy and cold day. The pictures showed that this was at tables on an open boat. We were worried but they put up a cover, put seat cushions on the benches AND...they have heat lamps above you where you sit. I asked about rain cover ahead of time but the heat lamps were a fantastic touch-up one they should definitely mention. They also have adequate bathrooms- something good to know when you are cruising a fjord on a boat encouraging you to buy drinks. The scenery was spectacular. The crew very professional and unobtrusive. The weather made us really not want to go. So glad we kept our plans.

Definitely worth booking!
We had a great time learning about the history of Oslo and enjoying a few beers along the way. We were able to have a small group of four which made the tour feel more personal and the duration of the tour was perfectly balanced - allowed time for questions and taking in the experience without feeling like it is dragging on. Our tour guides were both very knowledgeable of the history of both Oslo and the Norwegian culture. Would definitely recommend.

Food and History, perfect together!
We enjoyed our afternoon with Annie, our guide, along with Todd and Daren, a small group. The waffles(first stop)then the fish soup were amazing! Another tasty stop was at a farm to table restaurant. We had plenty to eat! As we are here for a few more days we are going back for more! We strolled a bit up and down and all around to see many hidden gems in Oslo. Very interesting and very scenic. Annie is well versed in the history of Norway. This is a perfect way to get a taste of Norway plus some history. Book it!
