Beautiful, rugged islands with fascinating histories and bountiful flora. - I would go on this tour again in a minute. The guide, John, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all questions, and enthusiastic about his job. The day was cold and rainy, but our small, intrepid group embraced it because the islands are rugged and beautiful with fascinating histories and bountiful flora. Highly recommend.

A great way to orientate yourself in Norway and Oslo. - A great way to spend a couple of hours orientating yourself in Oslo. Our guide, Giovanni, was hugely knowledgeable about Oslo, the nature of the islands, and the culture of Norway.

A great way to spend a couple of hours - A great mini-tour with our Giovanni who was very friendly and knowledgable on the sights and history of Oslo. Hot drinks and biscuits provided at the short picnic stop en-route. When we win the lottery we will join the waiting list for one of the islands summer cabins!

Excellent islands visited and informative tour - Excellent trip with Kat who looked after us with hot drinks and shared all her knowledge / history of Oslo / Norway in an easy to understand way. It was really good to see parts of Oslo that the tourists don’t usually get to.

The guide Giovanni was fantastic - A great morning pottering round 2 of the islands at a leisurely pace. Lovely to see the contrast between one as a nature reserve and the other with Norse cabins/Norwegian summer houses. Our guide Giovanni was fantastic (and served up some epic hot chocolate and biscuits). He was very knowledgeable and the trip was very enjoyable. Sorry for losing one of my shoe spikes Giovanni, hopefully you recovered it on the next tour!

ALICIA IS GREAT - Alicia from Canada was our guide. She was so so good and made the whole trip for us. If anyone’s going on this tour I’d strongly recommend Alicia as a guide.

Wonderful Winter’s Day Excursion - A wonderful 3.5hr winter excursion walking around 2 of Oslo’s beautiful islands. Our guide, Giovanni was outstanding, taking us on a great mini-adventure, sharing interesting facts and fascinating anecdotes on the history and lifestyle of Oslo and its exceptionally friendly and welcoming people. For those wanting an outdoor experience in Winter, I couldn’t recommend this more highly, and I’m an Aussie who has had to transition from 40 deg C to -8 deg C!
