A TourRadar traveler mentioned "The Oslo city tour was excellent especially visiting the fascinating Kon-Tiki Museum and the impressive Viking Ship Museum on Bygdøy peninsula." The routes typically include the Royal Palace the busy shopping street Karl Johans Gate and end with city views from the Holmenkollen ski jump platform.
