The tour was very nice, the crew on the boat was accommodating. It was colder on the water than anyone expected but they gave us blankets. Tour guide spoke very good English. Sights were amazing.
I would have preferred the lunch trip on the sailing boat, but it was an interesting trip around the fjord, though rather long without waterfalls or any other unusual features. The commentary was very good.
I was pretty disappointed overall. The tour guide was more interested in telling us about the prices of houses than any historical or creative information. Several people fell asleep. The tour guide should have been more knowledgable about some of the sites - my tour book helped more than she did. But it was nice to be on the water for a couple of hours.
While the service and tour guide were very good, I could think of better ways of spending the time. A ferry trip will give you a good feel for the fjords around Oslo for less time & money.
Everything was on the left side of the boat. Anyone on the right was out of luck. It is long 2 hours, and the benches were quite hard wood, but it was a wonderful water experience. Bring a cushion or ask for a life preserver to sit on. With the extended sunlight hours, there is very little chance of catching a sunset in summer time. Plan to sit on the left - where the sun is least powerful.
The seating arrangement on the boat was not at all acceptable. Unless you were on the outside, it was difficult to see and almost impossible to see across the boat to see the other view. All things considered, our group thought the trip was just barely okay. I think I would look for another way to see Oslo's fjords next time. The crew did turn to see if they could help an overturned boat, and my hat is off to the Captain for that.
Where were the fjords? The boat was bad and small. The only goog thing was the tour guide woman, but I don't recommend this trip.
