Excellent excursion!! - This was an excellent excursion! Our guides, “M,” Evan and Roy (such a good boy) were very organized, friendly and informative. We appreciated the history of the islands and especially enjoyed the opportunity to sit and enjoy the gorgeous view and have a snack at the end. I would highly recommend this tour!! Make sure to read ALL their instructions on when and where to meet - the time to meet the guide on the pier was forty five minutes before start time. It might be helpful for the tour company to make that information more prominent.

Great - Really nice trip! I would advise to get lunch on the third island instead of the second since there's a lovely full restaurant while on the second it's just a little shop

- According to the street address provided by the tour operator, this tour meets in a large plaza near the ferry docks in Oslo. The only other instructions were to meet someone in a blue vest. On a sunny Sunday morning, there were lots of people in the area, and other tours meeting to go on the ferry. Despite arriving early, and searching the plaza, we could not find the guide and missed the tour. If you decide to book this tour, insist on more detailed directions on where to meet so you don't have the same experience we did. Sorry to give a tour we missed just one "star" but I have no basis for rating a tour we missed.
