The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet - One of Europe’s greatest pieces of modern architecture, this building is a must see not only for its stunning interior but the exterior which include the chance to walk up the building and get a great view from the top.
Karl Johans gate - The main street of Oslo, where many of the major sites are located such as the Royal Palace, Parliament, National Theatre and the original university campus.
Oslofjord - Much of the downtown harbor is pedestrian, and during the tour we ride past many of the waterfront’s main attractions: the strikingly modern area of Sørenga, the City Hall (home to the Nobel Peace Prize), the 700 year old fortress Akershus Festning and the retail and restaurant hub of Aker Brygge/Tjuvholmen

Fun 9km bike tour of Oslo from 700 years ago to present day - We had 2days in Oslo after our trip to Svalbard. I loved the idea of a bike tour but wasn’t sure what to expect given the snow and ice. The meeting point is in a warehouse right next to the DFDS ferry, the signage could be clearer but Josh our guide was visible and waiting for us , was just me and my wife so we ended up with a private tour. Josh , originally from Florida but had been living in Oslo for 11 years was superb with regular stops and super informative he really knew his facts and history and our 3 hour tour flew by. So many fun facts and the city hall home of the Nobel prize presentation was a big bonus. The bikes were perfectly suited to the conditions and the winter tyres with studs gripped very well. We loved Oslo and the 9km tour was fun and Josh was so enthusiastic and interesting , he really sold Norway and made us want to come back again , wonderful country , would highly recommend this tour, suitable for all ages

A great way to see Oslo - Josh was an amazing tour guide! There had been fresh snow overnight, but he helped us manoeuvre our way safely. We stopped at key points so Josh could speak and we could learn. We really enjoyed it and was a great way to see some of the city sights! Would recommend :-)

Loved this experience - This tour was really cool and a good balance of sightseeing and learning a lot of the history and culture of Oslo and Norway. Josh was an awesome guide and clearly very knowledgeable. The location of the biking company was a little hard to find and some of the members of my group were not excellent cyclists which slowed us down (despite the disclaimer in the booking process that said it was intended for experienced cyclists). Overall though, I would highly recommend this tour. I typically try to do a bike tour in any city I visit and I found the quality and condition of the bikes through Viking Biking to be better than most bike tour companies.
