What travelers are saying
The Fjord sightseeing cruise was terrific. The sailboat was authentic, the views were beautiful and the crew was friendly and provided great information about Oslo and the surrounding islands.
I gave this tour to my clients as a thank you gift. The clients were able to upgrade this afternoon sailing tour directly with the tour company for an evening cruise which included dinner and pay the difference in price. They had a fabulous evening and the young adults really enjoyed all you could eat shelled shrimp!
We had a great time! The views were amazing. My feedback would be to have an indoor boat or more heating systems. Turn on those lamps on the tables. Also turn the volume up because we couldn’t hear anything from the tour guide.
