We 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.

This tour was so much fun, even with the drizzle. I looked forward to this tour the entire 14 day cruise and it did not disappoint. I booked two tours as both my husband and I wanted to ride in the sidecar and it was worth every penny. From booking to drop off, it was a great experience. Paul was great to coordinate with and even sent a note to wear rain gear the morning of our tour. Our guides Lars and Christian were fantastic and customized the tour for us. We were only in Oslo for the night. We saw so many sights we would not have had a chance to see if we had not done the tour. Not to mention the looks on peoples faces as these two sidecars rolled by…priceless. Thank you Paul, Lars and Christian for an amazing end to our trip.

The motorcycle ride with sidecar was great. Janik was our driver, we enjoyed him and all the information about the area that he shared. I rode behind him on the motorcycle and my husband rode in the sidecar. It was so much fun and we highly recommend this exciting tour for an introduction of the Oslo highlights.

We had a blast! Runnar was very knowledgeable and shared a deep understanding of Oslo. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Rolan gaves us a comprehensive overview of Oslo's layout, development and architectural history, historical places and figures, contemporary developments, and of societal preoccupations. Tooling around in a side-car motorcycle is up-close and invigorating. Highly recommended.

Super, super fun. Took us to interesting places outside the city centre. Great to see the local neighbourhoods on our way around. Jan Erik was fantastic. A brilliant way to see wider Oslo.
