Our guide (Deinaa) was knowledgeable and gave us good time to explore the places on our own. The places of visit covered in this trip (Holmenkollen Ski park, Vigeland Sculpture park, Visit to Museums and panoramic view of the city with guide telling us about the place and history) was insightful and good experience. Very few tour options during winter and I am glad that I found this trip.

This was an excellent tour. I went with my 13 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it as well. The stops were all interesting and it was well paced. The coach was comfortable and well driven. It would be better if it had wifi available. Our tour guide was lovely and very informative but she was extremely fast at leaving the coach and rushing off at each stop which meant that the last people off the coach often had no idea where she'd gone and often missed what time to return etc. She needs to be more mindful that everyone is with her before she disappears each time. Other than that, I would totally recommend it to anyone wanting an interesting and diverse overview of Oslo.

The experience was great, easy to find the pick up point, friendly staff, comfortable coach and informative tour. The tour guide was fantastic and really enthusiastic. The sites were great to see and all fairly close to one another so you didn’t have to sit for long periods of time!
