What are people saying about Oslo

Diana_S, Oct 2026

Amazing day learning/ sightseeing in Oslo for father daughter trip!

This was an amazing experience personally catered to what we wanted. Fabio was fantastic from the moment I booked the reservation. I had had recent hip surgery and my father is 94 years old and we were doing a bucket list trip together. Fabio arrived with a wheelchair that he had loaned. He was great with Text and Call communication and kept us informed and arrived right on time. He took us on an amazing tour of the Royal Palace, City Hall, the library, and the Opera House. We changed the plan midday due to the beautiful sunshine, and how much we were enjoying learning the history of the city from Fabio. Instead of going to the sculpture park as we had planned, we stayed in town and learned so much and enjoyed all the knowledge Fabio had to share with us. He was fantastic, helped navigate my dad on and off the wheelchair so that we could minimize the walking he had to do. Out of 10 stars I’d give this tour 12! Also, obviously we were walking slower than the average pace, but Fabio took his time and never rushed us. I Highly recommend if you want to get to see the city and learn and understand the history. This is well worth the investment. Thank you Fabio for a fabulous first day in Oslo. And an amazing memory for me and my father! 💕

Guided Sightseeing Cruise on Oslofjord by Premium Silent Boat

Lynne_F, Oct 2026

Oslo Fjord Cruise

We did the Oslo Fjord cruise on our second day in Oslo. The weather was overcast, but the boat was fantastic. We sat on the upper deck near the front that was covered and tables and swivel chairs. You could easily access the back deck to take photos outside. We loved how the boat was electric, which made it not only environmentally friendly, but also quiet. If you are looking at seeing Oslo from the water, then this is your tour. We highly recommend it!

The Essential Oslo Private Walking Tour

DFTT98, Sep 2026

An unforgettable day in Oslo!

We (6 adults and 2 boys aged 13 and 10) arrived on a cruise ship and were already met by Gerd at the port. She was a fantastic tour guide and informed us about her city of Oslo and the country of Norway with a lot of wit, charm, and personal stories. Since Gerd speaks perfect German, we were all—including our children—very well entertained. It was an unforgettable day for all of us, but also for Gerd, as this tour took place only a few days after the death of King Harald. The whole city was therefore full of mourners who wanted to leave a final tribute to their king at the palace. Thank you very much, dear Gerd, for the great 3-hour tour across the city! We will keep very fond memories of Oslo and hope to be able to return to this beautiful city in the future.

Kon-Tiki Museum Entrance Ticket

cw55n8fb7v, Sep 2026

Fascinating Museum

This was a fantastic museum that gave a very good insight into the voyages of Thor Heyerdahl and his team. We took the bus from Central Oslo which took about 15 minutes and was very easy to use. We found out later there is also a water taxi that goes from the harbour and takes about the same time. Would recommend using the Ruter App to get around.

Such a Fun Way to See Oslo with Helge!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a Fun Way to See Oslo with Helge! We had an absolutely fantastic motorcycle sidecar tour of Oslo with Helge! This was such a unique and fun way to explore the city, and definitely an experience we won’t forget. Helge was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He took us to all of the major sights around Oslo, stopping along the way so we could really experience each location while he shared interesting stories and history about the city and Norway. We learned so much while still having a really fun and relaxed time. Traveling by motorcycle and sidecar made the experience even more special. It was a great way to cover a lot of Oslo, see the highlights, and enjoy the city from a completely different perspective. Helge was a wonderful guide, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oslo. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable, and informative way to see the city, this is definitely the way to do it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oslo To Sognefjord Private Full Day Roundtrip Including Flam Railway

Shamindri_M, Jul 2026

Magnificent Fjords

It’s a long day and a long journey but fully worth it to see the magnificent fjords and scenery onboard the ferry and fram railway. Janis was an excellent tour guide who made our journey comfortable and enjoyable with tidbits of information throughout the journey, and plenty of stops to refresh ourselves. He was very obliging with the playlist in the car 😊 and provided some local treats for us to savour. We have traveled extensively in Europe and been on many such tours, Janis was one of the best tour guides we’ve had.

Great tour and yummy food

This tour is a great way to learn about Oslo's history and culture and eat some yummy food along the way. I booked this tour only a couple of days in advance and was the only person booked - Shaf was kind enough to run the tour for me anyway which I really appreciated. Shaf was incredibly knowledgeable and the food stops were delicious. Highly recommend this tour!

James_G, May 2026

A thorough and delightful tour of Oslo

Hans, our guide, provided us a thorough and very enjoyable tour of Oslo. Our favorite stop (really there were many favorites) was the massive Holmenkollen Ski Jump Stadium with its marvelous views of the city. Hans is delightfully congenial, low key but full of valuable information. The time spent with him was quite pleasurable. My wife has mobility issues. He made her comfortable throughout and ensured her access to the various sites. Many kindnesses. This tour is wonderful immersion in a beautiful city.

Oslo Panorama Tour with Holmenkollen Ski Jump and Vigeland Park

Patricia_B, Dec 2025

Must see Sculpture Park

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!
