One day in Oslo - We were able to see parts of the city you could only see by walking. Favorite part was the sculptor garden.

Colorado Springs' hidden gem. - The national WWII Aviation museum in Colorado Springs is a hidden gem. It was a 2 hour
guided tour of aircraft and memorabilia. The tour guide, Ray, was very knowledgeable and had an excellent sense of humor. Will be going back and will bring some friends along as well.

So so - Read so many reviews about this tour before I booked but it was not what I expected. The guide didn’t tell me what did Oslo mean unlike what other reviews had about the explanation.
There was also a miscommunication on the location of the hotel and guide was not well versed with the Viking history despite me asking and she gave a 1 minute explanation and told me to go to the museums when I already booked a museum free tour.
She said she tried her best but I don’t think it’s nice to ask in a threatening way about the ratings and reviews that your client will give in the middle of the street when it’s so cold..
I do appreciate the explanations she gave but they were rather repetitive.
No comments whether one should book the tour but you can probably tell the guide in advance because she won’t bother to contact you in advance and will blame you for not texting her in advance.
Oh wells. Not impressed with Oslo.

Waste of time, money, and energy!! - We were asked to reschedule our time for this tour which was okay. However, our guide rushed in several minutes late, stating “just in time”. It only got worse from there. No schedule or itinerary. ‘What do you want to see?” How should I know. I am the visitor. I told her “this is hidden gems of Oslo”. We walked to the Opera House. She pointed out “look, there is an apartment building”; “look, there is a restaurant”; I was pointed out more dogs …Tanya Lisa was the worst guide I have experienced on this trip. Unfocused. Very little historical information. We walked to the Univ of Oslo. She said it was closed but I saw people going in. I asked if that wasn’t where the Munch painting was. We made it in with 9 minutes to spare before it closed. My granddaughter and husband left after an hour of her babbling. I stuck with it for another two hours but quit This tour us a waste of time, energy, and money. DO NOT USE THIS TOUR!!
