Oslo: Personalized Perspectives - Per, our guide and driver helped ensure our experience was the best possible. After determining our interests he included these topics in the Oslo community sampler experience we were interested in. History and Norwegian pride came alive for us! Highly recommend this tour to sample the city. Added bonus - you become a part of the local attractions as a sidecar is not a common sight. Visits to the ski jump, opera house, two fantastic parks in addition to Nobel Peace locations along with cityscapes were personal highlights. Very safe ride as well!

Great way to see a number of sights in Oslo in a short amount of time. - Great tour of Oslo. The trip is customizable depending on your interests. For instance, we skipped the Vigeland sculptures in Frogner Park because we had seen them on our own previously. Our guide, Per, was a great driver and very informative. Highly recommend this tour.

100% Just Do It! - It started with some confusion about the pick up location, however, Per, our amazing guide took the time to find us. He picked us up at our ship! The people around us were blown away. So began a tour of Oslo that exceeded our expectations. It included lots of beautiful views and fun facts. Per made us feel completely safe with his mastery of the motorcycle/sidecar. That's not to say it wasn't exhilarating, cuz it was. My wife and I were smiliing and laughing the entire time. We HIGHLY recommend.

Had a great time - We booked this while we were still back in Australia, as we thought it would be a great way of seeing Oslo. My dad is from Norway so it’s nice to see part of his country. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Tour guide was very friendly and helpful

What a ride! Superb tour of Oslo - We had a fantastic tour with our guide, Lars. We whizzed up to Ekebergpark for views over all of Oslo, before being taken through the city and dropped off at Vigelandspark for a cultural tour, before being dropped off again at our hotel. Great fun! Amazing experience to get to know Oslo.

Oslo by motorcycle - This tour was so much fun! A quiet Saturday morning, good to start at 10. We felt very safe and relaxed with our driver and tour guide John. He met us right outside our ship, very convenient. He drove us through the significant areas and neighborhoods. He stopped and explained special buildings and answered all questions. And so much interesting history! It was all so lovely. The ride through the city was a blast! We’d do it again. The sidecar bike is adorable and very comfortable! Highly recommend this tour. Very safe. Helmets with eye shield. Big thank you to John!

Must do in Oslo - Absolutely fantastic, we were picked up from the cruise port by our guide Per Arne, who took across most of the city to see the points of interest. If you have a particular place you want to see , they will build that in to the 2 hours. We just went with the flow. Great experience, great communication and the rain didn’t spoil our experience.
