Best Tour of Oslo - 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.

Great tour with personable guides!!! - 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

It really does hit the... - 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!

Oslo in a nutshell! - 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!

Discover Oslo Tour - 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.

Time well spent in Oslo - “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing”. This was the first thing our wonderful guide, Rita, said to us as we began the rainy outside portion of our tour. Rita patiently and skillfully guided us throughout the day. She was incredibly calm, thorough, and knowledgeable. The tour was very well organized with plenty of time to visit the various attractions. Towards the end of our day as we were strolling through Vigeland Park, the skies cleared. It was a great day, tour and guide!

Nice tour, convenient bus ride - Nice tour that gives you a good explanation of the history of Oslo & takes you to the major museums. Having a bus tour is a very convenient way to get around the city; especially if you have young children or if the weather is poor. The time allotted for the tour is plenty, just wish we had additional time to see the inside of the Folk Museum, as we only toured the outside. Regardless of the rain, the tour was memorable, & would recommend to others.
