★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,609 reviews · 3 hours · from $62Our pick

Ride Oslo’s mostly flat streets and car-free paths with an English-speaking guide such as Patrick, Shaf, Lucia, or Andreas. You’ll see City Hall, Akershus Fortress, the Royal Palace, Frogner Park, Tjuvholmen, and the fjord in three hours. Winter departures use spiked tires and may follow a changed route.

“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…”

3.The Grand Oslo Ride: E-bike Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 146 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $45Best value

Ride an electric bike through Oslo with guides such as Lisa, Alex, Carlos, Nahuel, and Eleonora. Visit Vigeland Park, the Royal Palace, Grünerløkka, the Opera House, Sørenga, Damstredet, and the Nobel Peace Center. The pace is designed to cover a lot of ground, but you need basic bike skills and should arrive 20 minutes early.

“We had a delightful e-bike ride seeing the sights of Oslo city with our guide Lisa. She provided a thorough explanation of bike operation for those of us who had never ridden an e-bike before and a brief review of the rules of the road before embarking on our tour. It was raining when we began but the rain soon stopped and we had an enjoyable and educational ride visiting many of the scenic and important sites in Oslo. It’s a beautiful city and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Would highly recommend Lisa and the e-bike tour to those who have 3 hours to see the sites in Oslo.”

4.E-bike Tour in Geiranger, Norway

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 81 reviews · 2 hours · from $125

Join an English-speaking guide, often David, for a two-hour e-bike ride from Geiranger along the Waterfall Route and Eagle Road. Expect a steep first half, powerful electric assistance, fjord views, a local snack stop, and a smooth downhill return. Riders must be at least 16 and moderately fit.

“The e bike tour was excellent! I bike alot but my wife who only bikes occasionally also enjoyed the big ride up the "Eagle " switchback paved road up to the lookout. This was a reasonable challenge for me but as I stayed in a lower gear and my wife powered up the road on her own. She was very happy as the key is we are near 70 and she kept pace!. The two gals who were our guides did a very good job of explaining , helping and leading our group of about 15 people of various levels of skill. However I would say it is not for…”

5.Fjord e-bike tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $128

Join local guide Ben for an easy-paced, two-hour e-bike ride through Olden. You’ll cycle for about an hour, with stops at Singerheimen, Laukifossen, and Olden Old Church. Bikes, helmets, and a professional guide are included. Bring your own drink and snack.

“The excursion is owned and run by an Olden local who was born and raised in Olden. Price was very affordable and not rushed. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area since he grew up here and was well aware of the town’s history and shared it with us. Olden, like most of Norway, is one of the most visually stunning places we have ever visited. To see it up close on bike was amazing. The tour was very affordable, much less expensive than booking with the cruise line. It was supposed to last 2 hours but we got an extra 15 minutes or so. Bikes were very high quality…”
