Maria and Freddy were fantastic guides. Very easy to find and the trip was quite safe. Very informative tour and an easy way to learn about Oslo. You get to many different parts of the city quickly and off of the beaten path. Great way to get your bearings in the city. Make sure to wear the Viking helmet so people know you are legit. read more

Viking Biking - Maria and Freddy were our fantastic guides! - Bike tours Near Me - Oslo, 03

(https://vikingbikingoslo.com/) We had an absolutely wonderful time on our bike tour of Oslo. Our guide, Josie, (typical of so many guides is a grad student in education), was fantastic. She paced the tour superbly, communicated clearly and engaged with the group. Her knowledge of Oslo was first class. This was a memorable morning which left us knowing Oslo better without being overwhelmed. Viking Biking's itinerary couldn't have been better and they gave us enough time in the fabulous Vigeland Park to really enjoy the beauty and magnitude of the artists accomplishments. Oslo is very bikeable and there are only a few short not steep hills in the ride. To top off a great morning, she recommended a wonderful hole in the wall quick and casual seafood place on the way to our afternoon tour of the Oslo Opera House (also not to be missed!). Forget about bus or walking tours, if you know how to ride a bike, this is how to introduce yourself to Oslo! read more

Great tour of the city today with Miki. She was energetic and gave us great insights on the city and its history

Great way to explore Oslo! Freddy was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, funny and very accommodating to a group of "older" people. Thumbs up! read more

Great way to explore Oslo. They take you to parts you probably not be able to get to easily by car or foot.

Today was our fourth day touring Oslo. We got up first thing this am and did our Viking Biking tour with Ellinor. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She guided us through the city on a great tour. The tour lasted for about two hours and we saw so much of the city! The ride wasn't too hard physically, and it went at a great pace. It was nice to see the sites and stop at many if the landmarks and have some time to walk around and take pictures. I highly recommend doing their tour! read more

Viking Biking - Bike tours Near Me - Oslo, 03

I was really fortunate that my sister had a family friend connection to this bike shop because these guys are awesome. They are knowledgable about the city and are happy to tailor a tour to your interests. Guided tours leave around 1:00 pm, but you can also rent a bike if you can't make the tour or if you want to go solo. I was in Oslo for a business trip and only had a couple hours in the morning before my flight, so the guys pointed me in the direction of the ankerhus festning (fortress) and the Oslo fjord, which was a couple blocks from their shop. It was a nice ride in itself with views of the fjord, a trip to the top of the castle, and the astrup fearnley museum. And yes, you can get a lime green bike helmet with Viking horns. read more

Viking Biking - Oslo fjord - Bike tours Near Me - Oslo, 03

We LOVED our tour with Viking Biking!! Check in was easy, awesome Viking Hat helmets were provided, and the bikes were in great condition. The name of my guide escapes me as some time has passed, but she could have fooled us for being native Norwegian. She was extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and never got us lost. The tour gave us a great road map for the area, which helped us maximize the rest of our afternoon and evening in Oslo. We were on a cruise and had from 10am-10pm in Oslo, this tour was early enough to allow us to check out the Vikingship Museum beforehand and enjoy dinner/drinks/wandering time afterwards. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

We really had a great time on this tour. Christian was very knowledgable and told us many interesting tales of the history of Oslo. We saw so much more by bike than we would have by walking. This was an excellent way to spend 3 hours in Oslo! read more

As mentioned in previous reviews, I love bike tours. And compared to previous experiences I'm afraid to say Viking Biking was pretty poor. When we arrived there were already others putting helmets on and adjusting bikes and we checked in with a friendly receptionist who pointed out the Viking horned helmets. It had to be done. So far so good. We got our bikes, adjusted the saddles and got ready to go. I was a bit worried as there were a lot of people there but reassured when they said there were two guides. However, from then on there was a lot of confusion about who was going with whom. Instead of just counting the numbers of people and splitting us into two groups, there were protracted negotiations which resulted in us doing the first section of the tour twice. We were lucky though, as in the short cycle to the start I realised that my BREAKS were hardly working at all - I had to push them all the way in to get any kind of response. It was scary. My boyfriend (cycle expert) and I headed back to the shop to swap for a new bike. However to our horror we struggled to find any bikes with well-functioning breaks. I don't know if all the working bikes were out on loan, but none of the available ones were well-serviced. The tour itself was fun and the guide was fantastic, really friendly and charismatic. She was obviously passionate about the area and without her I would have given the tour one star. We did later reflect it was strange we didn't visit the opera house or the Parliament on the tour (particularly as we were within 30 seconds' cycle of parliament at the theatre) but there was plenty to see, and I quite liked the approach which let us wonder round on our own at times. Overall though, I'm afraid can't in all conscience recommend this tour without more confidence in the bikes. read more

I can not recommend this highly enough. Curtis and his crew are super friendly and knowledgeable. Most of all, it's a great 3 hour tour around some of the best sights of Oslo like the waterfront and the statue park. Also a great way to meet fellow travelers. Way better than the bus!! read more

Fun fun fun! Hilarious Viking helmets provided and great tour guide, Gry was phenomenal. Liked that there were stops for us to check out independently around the city instead of speeding around and just listening to the tour guide. Would recommend read more

My husband and I booked a bike tour while in Oslo on our honeymoon. Our guide was Niamh. She was awesome!!!!! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and even gave us great recommendations for walks and unique places to visit while in Oslo. The tour itself was a great mix of sightseeing and art and history. We rode at a leisurely pace and I always felt safe and never afraid of getting separated from the group. We had some time to check things out on our own at the stops and then rejoin and continue on which was nice. Part of the fun was getting to know the other people in our group too. It was a small size ( maybe 10 people). Overall, everything was very organized and I would 100 percent recommend doing a tour! It was a highlight of our time in Oslo! read more

Curtis was our tour guide, and we felt he did a fantastic job. Nicely placed breaks during the ride, and interesting information on the locations we stopped! It really was a Great time, and we went back to rent bikes again two days later to explore more of the city on our own!! Highly recommend Viking Biking!!! read more

My wife and I have done many bike tours, in various countries, and Viking Biking & Hiking was a great introduction to Oslo! Our guide, Emma, was terrific: she took us to many of the most cultural, scenic and enjoyable parts of the city (major cultural attractions, parks, waterfronts, etc.), gave us some time to explore each, and also provided us with very interesting background regarding Oslo in general and each of the sites in particular. Also, the bikes were great (e.g., new, nine speeds, etc.). In sum, great tour and highly recommended! :) read more

Christian was our guide for a hike into mountains of Oslo and he was very knowledgeable, patient, offered wonderful suggestions for dinner options and an all around nice person. The day was fabulous and even a little rain couldn't ruin our day. Would recommend Viking Biking for all your outdoor tour needs while in Oslo. read more

We were on a cruise and had a very short time in Oslo. We wanted to ride bikes to see the sights. We tried using their public city bikes, But had no luck in trying to figure out how to use them. Yelped bike rentals, And Viking came up, they were real blessing! They spoke perfect English, they were super friendly and helpful. If you need to rent bikes this is the only place in town, very close to were the Cruise ships dock, we had a fantastic experience! read more

I had such a good time seeing parts of Oslo I would never have seen before AND getting some exercise to boot! Not stressful - don't worry - but a good thing to do before flying 25 hours back to Melbourne. And Oslo is fascinating - much more than you'd imagine from its solid decorous exterior. Well worth the 300 kroner! read more
