Great city tour with a very informative guide John who was fluent in Norwegian but was actually Welsh. He explained the meaning of some of the sculptures in the park and was very knowledgable about the artist. If you are feeling brave try the downhill ski simulator at the ski jump!
The experience, although self-guided, was very well organized. All the various tickets were in proper order and easily accessed on my phone. I received an email the morning of my trip which contained the links to all the tickets and a reminder of the details of the itinerary.
We only had a short stay in Oslo so we opted for the one day Sonjafjord and flam train tour. Very long day, 14 hours, expensive but well worth the money. Both the train ride and fjord cruise should not be missed if you are in Norway. Our guide Alex did a great job explaining all aspects of our tour, was a good driver and made our whole experince very enjoyable.
This was the highlight of our trip to Norway! Janis was a wonderful tour guide who was very informative about the Norwegian culture and environment. He stopped along the drive for photo opportunities and was attentive to be sure we were always comfortable. The Flåm railway and fjord cruise are not to be missed.
Spectacular nature lies beyond Oslo city limits, where soaring fjords, isolated islands, and alpine scenery await. A day trip from Oslo makes the most of that easy access, from gorgeous railway journeys to island-hopping excursions and ocean cruises. The historic seaport of Bergen, with its brightly painted houses and mountain backdrop, is also a top day trip from Oslo, but whether you’re planning an afternoon of fun or an all-day adventure, these outings take you straight to those world-class sites.
