Fram Museum alone was worth the trip, but combined with Akershus Fortress & Castle this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Vigeland Sculpture Park and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Our trip to Oslo was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Aker Brygge & Tjuvholmen was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Booked this as a group trip and it was well paced. Vigeland Sculpture Park in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Oslo is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Natural History Museum & Botanical Garden greenhouses. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
