This seven and a half hour tour is one of Oslo’s most inclusive. For around 100 USD, you will get free admission to all the sites on the tour and a lunch cruise on the Oslo Fjord. Sites visited on the tour include the Norwegian Folk Museum and the Kon-Tiki Museum, as well as the Viking Ship Museum and Vigeland Sculpture Park. The tour is guided and comes in English but comes with multiple languages upon request (German, French and Spanish in particular), and children ride at a reduced fare.

This tour provides plenty of flexibility for any tourist in Oslo. The tour takes place on an open-top double-decker bus, which provides great views of the city and all of its major attractions. The bus drives around the city in a 90 minute cycle. The tour stops at twelve conveniently placed locations that will allow you to maximize the number of Oslo’s attractions you can see, and you can “hop-off” as many times as you like! The added bonus is that you can take advantage of this offer for two full days with an unlimited number of rides around the city. While this might not be Oslo’s most structured tour, the price (at well under 50 USD) makes it worth the ride.

This two hour cruise is a relaxing way to spend an afternoon or evening. The tour takes you through Oslo’s fjord and into the gorgeous bays and breath-taking islands a bit farther from the coast. You will also get to view many of Oslo’s attractions that lie on the edge of the fjord, including the award-winning Oslo opera house. Drinks are available for sale on board. All together, this is a classic Norwegian experience!

On this tour, you will have the opportunity to spend 40 minutes on the Oslo fjord by cruise in addition to visiting several of Oslo’s highlights by bus tour.

You will also drive by many of the premier attractions near the fjord, including the Naval Museum and the Fortress Town of Fredrikstad. The price of this tour is slightly under 100 USD, which makes it a competitive option for those wishing to purchase a tour in Oslo.
