Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The bike is a great way to see Oslo. Graciela was a wonderful guide and combined historical information with fun facts about Oslo. The biking was relatively easy and I am a flat lander. We throughly enjoyed our ride and highly recommend this great tour of Oslo !

Graciela provided a wonderful tour of Oslo, she’s both friendly and informative so it felt like with were cycling with a Norwegian friend. She’s lived in Oslo for about 15 years and really understands the culture and history, but also escorts you through all the Boroughs, so the tour is far more than historical. Would definitely recommend her tour, and will investigate her Argentinian tour when we take the family to South America!

Graciela did a wonderful job conducting this bike tour. The tour was between 15-18 k on mostly level streets in Oslo. It was a small group of 6 which allowed us to enjoy a more personal tour. She took us through all of the areas in Oslo and showed us various points of interest. We are not avid bike riders, but had no problem keeping up. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see Oslo.

Graciela was amazing! She not only was packed with great information about Oslo, but she took us all around the city. If you’re looking for a great way to kick off your trip and get an overview of Oslo, this is it!

We had so much fun riding around Oslo with tour leader, Graciela. It was an off-the-beaten track bike ride that gave us a good overview of the city so we could easily find our way around the next day. The bike tour covered Oslo’s history, architecture, sculpture, main important sites, parks, great views, and different neighborhoods throughout the city. We covered a lot of ground. We were excited to rent bikes the next morning and went all over the city with confidence as well as toured some of the places we visited. Graciela shared historical and cultural information as well as suggestions of other things to do, see and eat! Thank you! We highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oslo.

We are on a 5 week tour of Europe and doing either walking or biking tours in each city we visit. This was the best so far, by a long way.
Very personal, not mainstream and we went into depth about the history of the city plus the current culture and vibe.
I recommend this tour.

My 11-year-old daughter and I enjoyed two bike trips with Graciela.
Graciela was reliable and knowledgeable, as well as being charming company! The first tour was of the city, and we were introduced to the history and the culture of Norway. Our guide introduced us to the history of the Vikings, the history of Oslo, and then brought us up to date with a trip to ‘The Nobel Peace Prize Hall’. The second trip was out of the city and we followed river Akerselva from its origins to the point where it met the fjord, this particular trip enabled us to see some wonderful countryside, gave us an insight into suburban living, and gave us the opportunity to swim in the beautiful clear water - a real treat! Graciela was very familiar with the route and proved a very confident leader!
At all times Graciela was thoughtful and considerate, my daughter and I very highly recommend her!

Graciela met us at our boat with bikes and a smile;) We saw a lot in 4 hours. Oslo is very easy on bikes. We arrange bike tours whenever we can on the first day in a new city. It's a great way to get a feel for the place. Thank you Graciela. Hope to see you in Argentina!

It's great that you've enjoyed your tour. I also think that the best way to discover a city is on a bike. I hope we meet again soon. Best regards,
Graciela
