friluftsliv - We visited two beautiful islands and, besides enjoying the scenery, learned the history of each. Maeve was a great guide! I did fine in my normal street shoes, but would recommend hiking shoes/boots as some parts of the trails can be slippery.

Beautiful outdoor Oslo activity - Awesome experience if you get a beautiful Oslo day! Our guide Curtis was knowledgeable, fun and made it easy for us to all be a group. Would recommend if you can physically handle a few miles and some mild hills.

Great guides, great tour - We really enjoyed getting away from the city and seeing the quiet and very different nature of each of these 3 islands. John and Alicia were both extremely knowledgeable and very interesting/engaging tour guides. Well worth the time.
