Review of Oslo’s quiet electric fjord cruise, with island views, warm cabins, panoramic windows, and an optional multilingual audio guide.

Review of Molde’s Atlantic Ocean Road and Varden bus tour, with fjord views, coastal stops, audio guide tips, price advice, and port details.
“The tour itself was really good. We enjoyed the drive to the Atlantic road and the scenery was beautiful. It was a self guided tour so no guide. We did enjoy it and would recommend it. The only problem was the Meeting point. We all went to the green flag but no one came to collect us and we had to find the bus on our own. Otherwise, it was a very good tour.”
Review of Geiranger’s 80-minute bus tour, with Flydalsjuvet, Eagle Bend, Seven Sisters views, multilingual audio, and cruise-friendly timing.
“I enjoyed it. Some great views and a tricky bus ride.”
Explore Ålesund, Godøya, Alnes Lighthouse, and Aksla viewpoint on a three-hour audio-guided island tour with scenic coastal stops.
“De rit met de kleine touringbus was geweldig en we hebben een heerlijk genoten van de stops. De chauffeur was goed en hielp ook daar waar nodig. 's avonds op het schip zagen we de bezochte vuurtoren ook nog staan. Uitzichtpunt Alska was fantastisch.”
Ride Trollstigen’s 11 hairpin bends, see the Troll Wall and waterfalls, and enjoy an audio-guided cruise excursion from Åndalsnes.

Review of Molde and Atlantic Ocean Road audio tour, with scenic stops, practical pickup advice, audio app warnings, and value tips.
“We were sent a meeting place, and evidently it was changed, but we were not notified. Luckily, we left early and we were able to backtrack and catch the bus. Also, we were not told that the audio would be from an app from our phone and we did not have Earbuds with us nor was there Wi-Fi available on the bus. The driver was excellent and because of the confusion with many people, he tried to give us a little narrative on the way home. The scenery was very pretty.”
Explore seven Norwegian coastal cities at your own pace with GPS audio guides for Ålesund, Trondheim, Tromsø, Bodø, and more.
“It is a very nice idea. I have to say beforehand, that we wanted to use it just for the city Tromsø so not for all the coastal cities. The main part of the audio was rather to get us to the next tour point as to tell us about the city (the audios were often times pretty short) so we haven‘t learned so much about the city or the monuments through this city tour but despite of that it was fun to walk through the city.”

Explore Trondheim’s Viking roots, royal palace, Old Town Bridge, fortress, and Nidaros Cathedral with this flexible offline audio walk.
“I was a bit concerned about a self-guided tour but it was really simple to use. It even got us back on track when we took a wrong turn. The tour helped us to learn about some of the best parts of Trondheim.”
Explore Oslo on foot with a 40-minute English audio tour covering Aker Brygge, Karl Johan, the palace, Nobel Center, and Østbanehallen.
“The best part was turning of your completely out of date information and just walking and reading the signs. Waste of time and money.”
