Great way to see the best sites in Oslo in one day. A few locations were a bit rushed because there was much to see, but all in all, an excellent tour for the money. I definitely recommend it.

Good organized and fast paced trip seeing the most popular museums and sites. The tour guide was great and informative throughout and kept the tour on schedule. A great option to get your bearings and for those that don't want to spend hours in each museum.

Fantastic tour. It was a great way of seeing so much of Oslo in a short time.

Very full, busy day. This was a day of national tragedy and the guide handled it well.

A great tour of Oslo. It was amazing to see the fjords from the boat ride. The museum part was quite tight. Only 5-10 minutes time per museum to walk free without guide so someday we will have to go to the museums on our own with more time. Guide Veronica(?) was a professional. Excellent knowledge from her all the time.

I took this tour on my first day in Oslo, and it was a great starting point. The boat tour was nice, if cold (I was grateful that they had some fleece blankets on board, because the wind on the fjord was pretty chilly). I was a little disappointed that it was almost impossible to hear the tour guide at the back of the boat due to the wind and engine noise, though. The rest of the tour was very nice, if fast-paced. We saw several museums in 'highlight mode', hitting the key exhibits as we followed the schedule. It gave me a good idea of what I wanted to re-visit when I planned my remaining days, though!

excellent excursion. The guides were excellent. Highly recommended especially when the time you will stay in Oslo is limited

We saw so much in one day. Our guide Sandra was very kind and helpful. We had a great time. I like this combination of boat, bus and museums. The tickets for museum were included, so the price for this tour is reasonable. Highly recomended.

A well-organized tour, The beauty of Oslo and the surroundings became familiar. Poor weather spoiled the Holmenkollen view. One comment concernig the Viator details The menu of the boat did not include a buffet of prawns shrimps for lunch, a minor detail! The acoustics in the boat was not good. The personnel very good

Very good tour.

Review by: Thai Kin H, Malaysia	June 2010
No lunch is served as mentioned in the website. You will be served a buffet of prawn shrimps for lunch. Other than that, basically is okay.

Very good guide. The cruise was a bit deceiving.

Can't fault the tour or tour reps. They were excellent.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
Great coverage of sailing museums didn't like the very slow harbor tour with prawns only for lunch, and having to buy a lunch drink enthusiastic tour guide and ample time for self-discovery and gift shop buying.

Review by: Lorna N, United States of America	July 2009
A great way to see a lot if you only have a short amount of time. Our tour guide was awesome!

Review by: John M, United States of America	July 2009
This was a complete, comprehensive tour of Oslo that left us with nothing but excitement for what we wanted to return and see again. The tour guide was great, the bus driver was amazing, and the museums were all must-sees!

Review by: Amy M, United Kingdom	August 2008
This is a great way of seeing all of Oslo in one day. You get to see the top sights and museums, and the boat tour provided lovely views of the fjord.

Great day out, lots to see, viking ship museum was great and keeping in mind that Norway is an expensive place it was great value for money.

The tour is a good way to get a taste of Norway's history. We enjoyed our guide and learned some great facts that we wouldn't have picked up on our own.

Review by: Yan S, United States of America	September 2007
There was poor sightseeing, no information at all, and a guide without experience and knowledge. Too much money for nothing.

Review by: Ercole S, Malta	August 2007
This is a well organised and good value for money tour. Has numerous stops including entry in several museums and a boat ride. If you want to see most of Oslo in 1 day this is the tour to take.

Review by: Les M, United States of America	July 2007
Tour was great. Our tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Lunch was just okay.

Review by: Nitu V, India	July 2007
I thoroughly enjoyed my grand tour of Oslo. The guide and the crew aboard the boat and coach were extremely friendly. The guide gave us useful tidbits of information that made the tour that much more fun. It would be nice to have more time to spend at some of the attractions like the Vigelands park, which was so scenic, or the ski jump. The time provided at the other museums was sufficient All in all, this was a great start at seeing this lovely city!
