“It was a memorable day. It was my first visit to Norway. Didn’t know how to get to know about Oslo and its history. Through google search, I came across the tour. And how surprising it was. Comfortable and clean bus… our guide Mr. Iori Roberts was so knowledgeable, funny and friendly. Explained the history while the cruise is floating and passing by different buildings, museums and landmarks. The visit to Vigeland park was my highlight. I could sit and listen to him all day Thank you for giving me this wonderful experience in Oslo.”
Pick a river, a coast or a harbour.
