    Wonderful tour really enjoyed it and my guide was great cheerful and helpful. Glad Viator didn’t cancel on me for being solo. Wish more companies offered tours to solo female travelers. Recommend this to all first time visitors.

    Expected an authentic guide, someone from the area who would be passionate and knowledgeable about Norwegian culture. Not a flippant American with no attachment to the country's heritage. It was disappointing to say the least.

    Two and half hours of walking tour seeing some fun & hidden sights along the fjord coastline. If you want to go for something different than the normal tourist sightseeing and hear about sustainable development in Oslo this is a great choice.
