Curtis, who runs Viking Biking, introduces you to many of the interesting places and sites in the city and a few that you would probably not see if you were on your own. Comparing with a bus tour.........there is no comparison. This wins hands down as you are able to explore the places no ordinary bus can reach! The city... More

I took this tour at the end of my trip to Oslo (at the beginning of Viking Biking's 2013 season). Even though I had visited some of the sights myself earlier, the stories and insights Curtis shared with us really helped give me a different perspective (and a few laughs!) on the highlights of Oslo. For most of the tour,... More

We did a superb tour with viking bikes. It was a really good way to discover several parts of the city enriched with funny stories. Highly recommendable! It should be the first hours of your stay in oslo.

We just rented bikes at this place, but honestly, that alone was a great experience. We met Curtis at the store - who speaks French as well, by the way - and he gave a great explanation on how to drive up to Holmenkollen and all the way up to Frognerseteren: a great biking tour (for experienced bikers though!).

There were only two of us on the tour and was a lot of fun. It's a great way to see some of the attractions that are further off without having to use public transportation or a cab as well as get some real exercise while traveling. The guide was knowledgeable and the bikes were in great shape.

I had Paul as my guide, and lucked out being the only person on the tour. I learned a lot about Oslo and Norway and enjoyed the tour very much. If you like bike tours, give this a try.

Being alone this day, I got a private and personnalized tour of Oslo. From the docks to the Viking Museum, I got to see a small beach which offered an incredible scenary! The guide spoke French without difficult and answered all of my questions :) A must for anyone who wants to see the many faces of Oslo!

I was quite hesitant at first when my friend booked this tour. First of all, I have not ridden a bike for a long time, plus, I'm in a city that I am not familiar with. Curtis, our guide was very knowledgeable & patient. He made sure our bikes were well adjusted to our heights. I felt very safe riding... More

I was so excited to go Viking Biking in Oslo! My experience prior to my arrival was great - I emailed the business for walking directions from the cruise ship dock, which was very helpful (it was a 10 minute walk from the ship to the shop). We arrived 15 minutes early, as requested, and were immediately helped by the... More

I arrived to Oslo with no real plan on how to tour the city. Lost myself the first few days in the city to see what I could discover by myself, but then decided it'd be best to take some kind of tour. Saw this on wikitravel and decided to give it a shot. Wow, what a great way to... More
