Better than we could have wished for!!! 😀 - Our 2hour tour with John was just the best. We had done a walking tour in the morning, John ensured we did not double up on anything we had already seen or visited. John was so informative, had a great sense of humour and was so patient with all our questions. Such a fun tour, more than ticked all the boxes that we would expected. Absolutely recommended!!! Thank you John!!!

Oslo from a new perspective - We had a wonderful two-hour tour with Lars and Paul from Retro Tours Oslo. They showed us the city from a completely new perspective with their unique motorcycles, which were equipped with sidecars. Johan and I drove side by side with each of our guides, and it was an incredible experience to see Oslo this way. Lars and Paul were knowledgeable and committed, and they made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout. I really recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience Oslo in a different and exciting way!"

The best way to see Oslo! - John was a phenomenal guide! This was, by far, the most unusual and fun excursion of our trip. We are so appreciative of the time John took to show us the sights and explain the history to us. We were thrilled to have gotten to spend time with John, take the ride through the city, and learn so much about Oslo. If you're considering this, 100%, you should do it!

Perfect Way to Experience Oslo - Pick up was super easy, right at the cruise ship (NCL Getaway). Pierre was such a fun driver/guide. He helped us learn a lot about life in Norway. He was a safe and careful driver. Would highly recommend this way of seeing the sites of Oslo. At the end of the ride we asked for a restaurant recommendation for authentic Norwegian food. He took us to the most fabulous place and made a point of telling the server how to treat us. Fabulous food that we lived!
