Reviews Oslo Fjord
“Great trip , well organised. Easy to book”
“Een prima eerste kennis making met Oslo en lekker gegeten.”
“It was rainy and the bottom deck was reserved for a big group (unfortunately) so we had to get a table up top & our bench was wet. The band sounded good but we couldn‘t see them. Some don't like shrimp so It would be great to have a second option for dinner. Friendly staff and beautiful scenery!”
“Mooie tocht. Alleen spijtig dat je niet echt binnen kan zitten. Aan te bevelen op een mooie zonnige dacht.Bij winderig en regenachtig minder. Maar het was een mooie ervaring.”
