Motorcycle/sidecar Oslo

3.00Our driver/guide was very good. It was cold and a bit uncomfortable. We had been to Oslo before, so there wasn't a lot to see but the motorcycle and side car is a fun activity, especially if you haven't done it before.
Best Tour Ever!

5.00Best ever! Could not ask for a better day seeing the city. We were asked for any preferences and then treated to pure joy as we saw most everything Oslo has to offer up close with informative and personal commentary. Hate to think we could have chosen a cruise ship excursion and missed this! It stands out as a “best tour ever”. Our driver was fabulous.
Awesome ride

5.00Being a motorcycle rider, it was more enjoyable than we could ever imagine. You just get to see so much more than being on a bus or in a car driving around. Just get a whole different perspective sitting on a motorcycle riding around viewing the city. Our tour guide was amazing and took us to places that you normally wouldn’t see.
Fun in motion

5.00There is a lot of traffic in Oslo. The most fun came from riding where the motorcycle was in motion. Such as the highway and non-city streets.
Wonderful experience, extremely high in my best ever tours!

5.00What an amazing experience! One old duck and a younger friend from Australia approached our rider Jan Erik to begin our tour feeling quite excited and we were not let down. We had already done a walking tour of Oslo CBD so we were happier to go further afield. Jan Erik was the best, he took us all over the place, was very patient, he had wet weather covers for us when it started to rain, and we felt safe riding with him although at the ski jump I asked if he had it in reverse 🤣 when leaving. He was also a very interesting character and he shared his stories with us as well as being very generous with his time. The Oslo Highlights retro sidecar tour with Jan Erik is one of those memories that standout as a top 10 in my vast travels I’ve been very remiss in doing this review (sorry for the lateness Jan Erik)
Not just fun, it got you EVERYWHERE.

5.00We absolutely loved our tour. Its was a very wet morning but the tour guides were happy and informative and not at all daunted by the wet weather. It is one of the best things we have ever done despite the rain. Would not hesitate to do this again.
