For a high light tour of Oslo, I don't know how it could be better accomplished - Outstanding, both in terms of the new electric bus, the driver and especially our guide Marta (SP?) on 7.24.2024. The places we visited were excellent, althought the time spent at especially the Fram & Open Air Museum was way to short. That comment is not a criticism. Either place one could spend at least a 1/2 day and more. Nevertheless, given the "10 pounds of tour in a 5 pound bag", and keeping on a schedule, the organization and time management was very clear to passengers and respected. Very well done and appreciated. We are looking for additional tours by HMK. No reflection on the tour, but for me a 75 year old man, the climb at the Open Air Museum was , can I say a "ball buster"? Because it was.

Great Tour - This was one of the best excursions we took during a month-long city tour, coupled with a cruise in Northern Europe. It was well organized, led by a very excellent guide who was extremely informative and there four segments, of which took three, skipping the 4pm cruise around Oslo's fjord. After 18 cruise excursions, the Oslo one was our top pick .

A day visit in Osol - I think the guided walking tour through Vigeland Sculpture Park was amazing as well as Holmenkollen Ski Jump. The Stave Church at the Norwegian Folk Museum was also worth seeing. In fact, it was all very good. The guide was excellent.

Highly recommend - This was a great tour. Our guide, Elena, was excellent. Great knowledge of history, folklore, and she was easy to understand. Her English was flawless. Her passion on the subject came through. The tour was a nice combination of bus ride broken up with interesting stops which were just the right length. Highly recommend this tour.

Oslo walking - The best thing for me was the wooden church at the Folk Museum and the Fram. The guide (Kris)was very knowledgeable about the tour items. He took time to make sure everyone was still with him and waited for slower folk. 5stars for Kris. I would have liked more info prior to booking about the amount of walking involved. I assumed sitting on a bus but the afternoon was mostly walking
