Great value, worked well...but bring a battery pack!

4.00The technology worked well, and the content was solid. Very happy with the route and the sites visited; great walking city. Took me about 7 hours to get through. Happy to be able to decide which museums to attend and which to pass on. I have an iPhone 12 so needed a battery pack to recharge twice as the app seemed to use a lot of battery life.
A Clear, Informative, Flexible Tour

5.00This was the best easiest option for us. Wasn't sure on timings from the airport, so this gave us the option to start a guided tour without the stress of getting to a certain point at a time. Easy to use even for people in their 60's! Download the app. Enter your code Remember your ear buds and good to go. We did it in 3 stages as took our time, around the fortress area it started to get dark and late, so finished the tour the next morning. Points 20 and 21 are for shops and a suggested coffee break area. The points were informative and we researched some further. The downside was it used a lot of battery power on the phone, so we had to stop and recharge. The flexibility, just you at your speed and cost outwayed this. Would fully recommend
Nice tour by your own

Oslo, three days

4.00I went with my wife, I do not recommend going alone as good experiences and also fears are better accompanied. We planned for several months to go to see the Northern Lights and chose Tromso, after inquiring about the best place to see them. Then we visited Bergen and finally Oslo. Then we visited Stockholm and finally Helsinki. Three nights in every city except Helsinki where we only stayed one night. Everything we loved, Oslo seems like a great city, not too big, as tourist is affordable to its culture and history. It's expensive. Madrid was an affordable city in terms of costs but nowadays seems to surpass Oslo in several things. A good and complete meal is more expensive than in many large capitals. You can visit without assistance with some planning. If it is necessary to sufficiently manage English, although Norwegians seem to be sufficiently cultured. We ran into people who also spoke Spanish. English is spoken by everyone. The Opera House, Parliament, City Hall, Munch Museum, Arkeshus Fortress, Royal Palace and Vigeland Park with their original and somewhat crooked sculptures was the highlight. Good communication to and from the airport from your Central Train Station. It seems to have good transport, but we only use train from the airport to the city and then when traveling to Stockholm we did it by train, very well.We do not use other public transport because we decided to walk, which I think is best when we get to know a city. But I must clarify that I did not use the app, only the plan we had prepared.
Totally Worth It

5.00Did this on my first day in the city and it set the tone for my trip. The app worked great, and I learned so much about Oslo without feeling like I was in a formal tour group.

5.00Really brilliant. A great experience, but 2-3 hours is too little if you want to look around and reflect on the information you have received.
