Excellent tour for a good overview of Oslo. Our guide (Elena - I think) did a wonderful job of describing the major sights of Oslo and the pace of the tour was good. The ski jump was quite impressive - and we had a reasonable amount of time there before continuing on to Vigeland Park. Elena provided a nice walk through of the park along with her commentary on the unusual sculptures. The provided us the flexibility to stay on the bus (with the appropriate extra fee) and extend our tour to include the Fram Museum and Kon-Tiki Museums. We enjoyed Elena's commentary at both museums and then they dropped us near the waterfront area and the Oslo Opera - which was pretty close to our hotel. All in all - a day well spent.

Excellent experience. Lots of walking and steps but well worth it. Chris, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Obviously loves his country.
Patricia_B, Dec 2025
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!
Adam_R, Dec 2025
I had a nice experience going through the city with a good history lesson on the city if Oslo. It was cloudy at the ski jump area unfortunately, but was interesting to see what I could. The guide Christian, gave us a nice tour of the Vigeland sculpture park and explained the artist who made the sculptures. Although the weather didn't cooperate perfectly, it was still a good way to spend a few hours and learn about the area.
Scott_L, Sep 2025

Sandy_R, Aug 2025
We saw a lot in the time allotted. The. Ski jump was fun to look at. The walk through Vigiland Sculpture Park was beautiful and interesting. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the history of the park. We got to see a lot of Oslo in a short time.
Debi_W, Aug 2025
The ski jump was not what I thought it would be but it was very enlightening. But oh Vigeland Park!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE. Our tour guide made it come alive. Absolutely the BEST excursion on this trip!!!!

Excellent tour, great driver and knowledgeable guide. Everything explained and stayed with the timetable
Robert_C, Aug 2025
Our guide provided a detailed, extremely interesting and well told history of Norway from ancient Vikings to present day was we toured this special city. She described the evolution of culture and the artists that made it remarkable in an extremely engaging way. The ski jumping tower is not to be missed but the highlight was Vigeland Park and the sculptures. Our driver was a master. Our highest recommendation.
Paulette_S, Jul 2025
Our guide Rita was funny and informative. She gave us a lot of background information about the sites we were seeing in addition to the history of Norway’s development as a country and the complex interaction with its neighbors Sweden and Denmark.
Our driver Michael was also excellent..
Mark_S, Jun 2025
The guide was easily the best we’ve ever had! She was so knowledgeable, informative, and funny! Great sights in Oslo but the guide made it extra special. One note: if you’re on a cruise (as we were) and used to being met at the dock, heads up! This tour begins in the city center. It’s an easy 20 minute walk. We weren’t paying attention to that detail and realized too late, so had to take a taxi. The thieves charged €50 for a 5-minute ride!!!

Chris provided plenty of history and , fun facts and humor. It was enjoyed by all I. Our party of 7.

Janine, our knowledgeable guide, and Mikhail, our bus driver, gave us a fantastic introductory tour of Oslo! After explaining the central city’s main sights, we drove to the awe inspiring Holmenkollen Ski Jump. Next, we visited the Vigeland Park, whose sculptures Janine gave us an art history lesson on. By including these two great, less accessible highlights in the tour, we felt that we’d had a marvelous use of our time. We can highly recommend taking this tour with Janine.
ManChing_L, May 2025
Informative. Christopher is a humorous tour guide with good and clear information about the Sculpture Park.
Thomas_B, Mar 2025
No onboard toilet…plan accordingly…The tour guide was the commensurate professional with superb diction and a vivacious personality…bus driver was on point…cash only for onboard purchases, (what century is this?)
Jackie_C, Mar 2025
Well worth it to use on a rainy cold day in Oslo. Comfortable bus, good guide, and it covers the main things to see in Oslo

Mark_R, Aug 2024
A great city tour with a fantastic driver and guide Chris. Very informative. The highlight is Vigeland park. Not what I expected. Very interesting back story and excellent interpretation from Chris. Highly recommended.
John_P, Aug 2024
It was a very rainy day but we still enjoyed it very much! The tour guide and driver were great. Unfortunately, I left my phone on the bus! I called immediately and they delivered the phone to me within 30 minutes! Wonderful service!
Manuel_B, Jul 2024
Great way to get an overview of the city, loved the monument garden. The guide was excellent. Wonderful excursion
CharleneH, Jul 2024
We had a short excursion time. This was a nice excursion to get a “first time” view of Oslo. We learned about the town as we drove to the ski jump. Our guide walked with us through the sculpture park giving us lots of information. We appreciated having a guide rather than a recording on the hop on hop off bus. It was a bit of a walk to the start from the cruise ship. They dropped us off at the cruise ship on the return.
