Oslo in a morning - The tour guide was very friendly and informative. Made everyone feel welcome and shared her own local knowledge of the area. Sadly it was very foggy so we could not see the ski jump or vista over Oslo.

Worth doing inspite of the weather! - An excellent trip with Christopher as our guide. He gave us so much history and information but in an interesting way that had you listening and remembering what he’d told you. Only disappointment was the weather and the icy conditions that made our visit to the sculpture park impossible but the alternative offered was a visit to the amazing Fram museum instead. A mind blowing experience! Sadly the ski jump at Holmenkollen was covered in cloud and so once you’d managed to stay upright on the ice to get there from the car park there were no views! Still a great experience though! Victor our driver did a good job keeping us safe on the roads too.

Great overview and history of city - A great way to get the overall view of this very spread out city. The views from the top were amazing! Sculpture garden was impressive but note not easy for those with mobility issues.

A must see on your trip to Oslo. - Good tour of Oslo. The Holmenkollen ski jump was impressive but there really wasn't much to do there asthe museum wasn't finished. However Vigeland Park was amazing. Our tour guide was excellent describing each "circle of life" with much passion and emotion . I could have listened to him all day. So sorry but I forgot his name. Highly recommend .
