A Great Overview of Oslo - We found this your to be a great overview of the sites and history of Oslo. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable, and the tour packed a lot in for 5.5 hours. This would be a great way to start a visit to Oslo and find the things you would want to visit and dig into further. We recommend it highly.

Loved Vigeland Sculpture Park - Loved the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Norwegian Folk Museum. Did not have enough time at the Fram Museum to see it and get something to eat, so didn't see the Fram. The Holmenkollen Ski Jump was a boring, waste of time. Rita was a very knowledgable tour guide, but too bossy and angry about people wanting to go to the bathroom at the first stop. Bus was comfortable. Hotel or cruise port pick up would have been helpful. Pick up , bus stop was hard to find and a long hike from our hotel. Would've liked to have a Norwegian guide, but Rita was not.
