What people are saying about Oslo

Це була неймовірна подорож по Осло ф‘йорду. Були такі красиві місця, що очі бачили а мозок відмовлявся розуміти. Сам катамаран дуже тихий, комфортний і сучасний. З будь-якого місця - буде гарний вид завдяки великим вікнам. Нас зустріли з велком-дрінком. Подавали перекус із двох сендвічі та десерту у вигляді полуниці в шоколаді. Найцікавішим кутом була середня точка де ми розвернулися назад. Там був найкрасивіший пейзаж з хітте, замерзлим берегом та все було присипане снігом. Наїхали на льод і це теж було цікаво. Дитина в захваті)

It was absolutely brilliant! Our guide was super knowledgeable and really friendly. The stops were brilliant and the food was delicious! I was super excited to have vegetarian options as well! Except for the last stop which had cold meats. It was definitely an improvement on a standard walking tour. Would recommend.

Sitting on the second floor front of the wide window was the perfect spot, turning chairs to look everywhere. Beautifully view. Good brunch ans friendly personnel. The perfect way to discover the fjords in winter , staying inside or having the option to go out.

Learned a lot about the food and history in the short time of the tour. The food was great, I would recommend this tour for foodies.

Fantastic experience would highly recommend lovely relaxed cruise along the fjord, very friendly staff, boat was excellent.
