Great - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the retro motorcycle tour of Oslo! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable adventure. The retro motorcycles were not only incredibly cool but also provided a unique and thrilling way to explore the city. Our guide was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable about Oslo’s history and landmarks. They didn’t just show us the usual tourist spots but also took the time to share hidden gems and lesser-known stories that really brought the city to life. It was clear that they were passionate about what they do, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. The tour covered a great variety of sites, from historic landmarks to breathtaking viewpoints, all while cruising through Oslo’s charming streets on vintage bikes. The combination of scenic routes and insightful commentary made this tour the highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for a unique way to see Oslo, this tour is a must. We couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Unforgettable Experience - This was by far the most enjoyable tour we have taken while traveling. Our guide was so friendly and informative. He made us feel safe and cared for Traveling on a side by side was not only a unique way to see the countryside but created a memorable experience we will not forget. Oslo is such a beautiful country and we certainly saw it from a completely different vantage point. Would recommend this tour 1000%
