This will give a great...

This will give a great overview of Oslo. You can design the tour to meet your needs. You can then explore certain venues more in depth on your own.

Don’t do this tour until guides are screened

We could not understand our guide. We went to places uninteresting to us like the library. Could have been a good tour but the guide basically ruined and wasted our time.

Operator response

We sincerely apologize for the disappointment during your tour. We understand how important it is for a private tour to feel relevant and engaging, and we regret that the communication difficulties and the choice of sights led to a feeling of wasted time. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments regarding the guide's language skills and route planning have been noted and will be used to improve our vetting and preparation process in this city.

Okay. Not great

Expected guide to have a plan about places to go. He didn’t. Kept asking what we wanted to see. We don’t know the non touristy places. Then after the tour I got a notice to pay the cab which I offered to do at the time. That is a cost of business was that. Astor should absorb.

Just OK.

Guide was very friendly. Not a native Norwegian. A bit hard to understand. Knew the area well. Tried very hard to accommodate our needs

Operator response

Thank you Cheryl for your feedback. We've noted this and would do our best to manage our traveler's expectations onwards.

Mediocre tour

Mediocre tour, not bad but not great. Tour guide was friendly and walked us around downtown Oslo but not as knowledgeable as we would have expected.

Operator response

Hello Karen, we are sorry about your experience, feedbacks like yours helps us as a start-up improve our services. Be assured the Oslo local would put more efforts into her tour experiences as we'll be sharing this feedback with her as well.
