Our guide was amazing and the trip was breathtaking. If you are into WWII history, this is definitely for you. This is also great for those who want a chance to see the beautiful Oslo Fjord and take in some of the local cuisine. Our lunch was lovely as we sat right in the water. We lucked out with fanatically clear, warm weather so that made it even better. There is some mild hiking so wear good shoes for that, and layers! You never know what Oslo weather will be like. All in all, would DEFINITELY recommend!!

Tailor-made full-day service (max 8 hours). Give us your travel details and we'll propose an itinerary. Please look at the other tours or our website to get inspired. Choice of luxury vehicle according to number of people in your group. You have the car and the guide at your disposal all day to drive you around and accompany you on a guided walk. Oslo City Center is quite small, and thus perfect for a walk. However, a majority of the city’s highlights are on the outskirts of Oslo, such as the great Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Holmenkollen ski- and recreation area (with the best panorama view of the city!). There is also the "museum peninsula" of Bygdøy, just across the bay, where you will find the Viking Ship Museum, the open-air Folk Museum, the Fram (Polar) Museum, the Maritime Museum and the Kon-Tiki raft expedition Museum.  There are nice restaurants up in the hills or by the fjord for a lunch and/or dinner break We'd gladly recommend one..

Inclusions: Private tour, Comfortable Limousine, Van or Mini-bus, Airport or Hotel pickup and drop-off, Bottled water, Local licensed Driver/guide, Live commentary on board

Exclusions: Entrance fees for museums, Restaurants

We can not recommend Svein highly enough! We experienced many tour guides during our time in Norway, both private tours and tours with a group of 60. Svein was by far our favorite guide. He was kind and attentive, and found fun places to take us that weren’t the same typical tourist things we had already seen. We had tours both in sedan and van and both were very comfortable. He took excellent care of us and provided lots of laughs as well as an incredible amount of interesting information. If we come back - he will be our first call!!

No other tour from Oslo comes remotely near this customer acclaimed day tour taking you from the Capital, over the mountains, and via the Fjords to the picturesque coastal city Bergen.

Unlike the jam-packed Oslo/Bergen train, there are no hordes of travelers in front of your lens and you can make stops on request at great scenarios all by yourself. This tour is hassle-free travel from hotel door to hotel door with the most spectacular scenarios along the way. Norway Fjord Travel receives top reviews from its guests for their flexibility and providing local guides that are easy to be around, combined with top knowledge and humorous comments.

Booked this trip with a 50% deposit in January. Due to the pandemic, we are not trying to cancel but move the tour to 2021 when we rebooked our cruise. Been trying to reach Bjorn and company for almost 6 weeks and no response - left messages, emails, et cetera. The US Phone number has been disconnected, email response is non-existent. I always book private tours with only reputable tour groups - not sure what is going on but I am out a considerable sum for a 6 person party. Buyer beware - they may have been a good reputable company but to not even respond in months is unacceptable and buyer beware!

I booked a this tour from EuroRail and it was scheduled for 9/7/20. I paid €633 euro .. and NO one will help me. Euro Railways: Booking Confirmation # 1172ZM - Order # 6583897 - ETICKET PRINT AT HOME. It states on its terms & Conditions that it will refund all monies if government actions prevent it from happening. As AUS was in lockdown so was Norway. Please be responsible and refund my $900 AUD that we paid before Covid interrupted the world . Norway in a Nutshell was the advertised tour via train travel from Oslo to Bergen

Oslo's city-sightseeing, hop-on, hop-off bus offers 14 stops. The buses have audio-guides in eight languages. One person on the bus stated that theirs did not work but I was unable to determine if the problem was the person operating the audio-guide or the mechanics of the system. The buses also offer free Wi-Fi. You can purchase a 24 or 48 hour pass and a cancellation policy can be activated 24 hours before the buyers date of activation. The 14 stops include stops within the central city and some further out. If you were to ride the entire circuit without getting off it would take about 90 minutes. Waiting times for the next bus can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes. There are 5 buses and you have to change buses to reach all 14 stops. When you change buses the stop for you next bus can be hard to find and often a distance away. The Viking Ship Museum is one of those stops that is further out. There are 3 other museums within a 15 minute walk from the Viking museum including the Kon-Tiki museum. The $46.95 you pay for the bus does not include admission to the Royal Palace, museums or many other venues. If you only want to see the central city sights you probably will be able to walk or utilize an excellent public transport system. Getting to the more remote stops make the the hop-on and hop-off bus more desirable. In any event you are not going to be able to stop at every location and appreciate all it has to offer in a 24 hour pass. The hop-on and hop-off bus is only offered from May to September 30.

My wife and I were on a Baltic cruise and many cities were served by Stromma City Sightseeing buses. I spotted on the Stromma website that if you are doing multiple tours in different cities, if you keep your tickets, hand three tour tickets over and you get the fourth for free. So we paid for tickets (all bought online before leaving home at a discounted rate) for Oslo, Helsinki and Stockholm and got the fourth tour (in Copenhagen) for free, which meant the relatively high price of the tickets became much more reasonable. The down side to using these buses is that you often lose time in your day waiting for the next bus, some of the services finish mid-afternoon, and to be honest you often have to get off the bus and walk to see the cities properly, but as a means of getting a flavour of a new city they are a handy way of getting an orientation and seeing some highlights. If we have time we usually do a complete circuit on the bus and then use the second circuit to get off at a few places that were on our to-see list. We planned our days in advance using the maps and timetables on the Stromma website and all worked out pretty well.
