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.

We really enjoyed this tour! It took us to all the must-sees in Oslo. The riddles were nice and challenging, the anecdotes and trivia were interesting and we definitely got that sense of accomplishment™️. I'd love to see what they came up with for the other cities as well.

Our tour guide, Margrete, and coach driver, are awesome! Thank you for a great city tour! I learned a lot, better than roaming around myself without knowing the history, the stories, and the fantastic ride and views :) Happy Holidays :)

Great tour. Fantastic guide and driver. Interesting and informative. Highly recommended to capture the main sights of Oslo in a short time, as we only had 1 full day there.

Wonderful experience. Diana-our guide, was brilliant.
