“Our guide for the day was Shaf who was the consumate professional and very knowledgeable about Oslo and very passionate about the outdoor life. After a quick safety brief we selected our bikes and helmets. The bikes were all in first class maintained condition. After a short stop to allow everyone to introduce each other (name and where from) Off we went around the city stopping off at various landmarks for Shaf to tell us a bit about the history of each location. It is a great way to see Oslo if you only have a set amount of time in the city like us who were on a cruise…”
