    A fantastic way to see the city and countryside

    What a fantastic way to see the city of Oslo and it's spectacular countryside. We were on board Cunard's Queen Anne and saw a motorbike and side car combo collecting some guests and decided that we wanted to try that too. At first we were told that it was unlikely as they had two bikes on maintenance, but he would do his very best. After a short while, Paul got back to us and confirmed a booking for the following day. Our trip took just over two hours, slightly over the allocated time because we hit the afternoon rush hour on the way back to our ship. We paid £217, which for two hours, with a one to one friendly and knowledgeable guide we think was very good value for money. It was fabulous fun. As we drove past people in the street, they waved to us. Brilliant!! We cannot recommend Retro Tours Norway more highly.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for leaving us your thoughts about your tour and very pleased you enjoyed it so much. Traffic can get busy occasionally which means overrunning the scheduled 2 hours can sometimes occur. Thanks again for all your positive feedback.

    Brilliant unique tour of Oslo

    What a fantastic and unique way to tour Oslo. Our driver Oystein was most courteous and careful. Don’t bother with bus tour, this is much more fun.

    Response from the operator: Thanks very much for leaving your thoughts about the tour. It’s definitely a unique way to see Oslo and very pleased you enjoyed it so much!

    Great way to see Oslo

    This was a great time and a great way to see the city. We went to both the “scream” overlook and the ski jump. So one side of town to the other. We have been to Oslo before so he customized the trip some so not repeating. It’s also fun to watch everyone’s reactions to the side car. We were on a cruise ship and got in a little late and we were glad that they could swap times around to accommodate us. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Hi Allison, very pleased you enjoyed your tour of Oslo with us. Luckily all our rider/guides are very experienced and knowledgeable about Oslo and can therefore adapt the tours to suit. This means, as you rightly point out, you can avoid visiting places already seen. Thank you for leaving such a positive review .

    Traveling to Oslo, Motorcycle Sidecar ride is a must!

    My family and friends booked 3 Retro Motorcycles directly with Paul via email, the coordination was superb down to the last detail. Our drivers met us off our Viking ship dockside and off we went. The day exceeded every expectation and rivaled any of our excursions booked on Viking. All our drivers spoke English and were great fun to talk to. Should we return to Oslo we will book this ride over and over again. If we could give them 10+ stars we would. Amazing day, a special memory for all and the best way by far to tour the city. Even if you feel unsure about motorcycles, do it, as it is sure to be a highlight of your trip.

    Response from the operator: Hi Melinda, thank you so much for leaving us the best possible feedback. So glad the whole family enjoyed the experience. I know Helge, Jan Erik and Per Arne thoroughly enjoyed showing you around Oslo. Welcome back anytime!

    2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oslo.

    How much does 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $324 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oslo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oslo is not rushed.

    Is 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 154 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oslo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour?

    +

    Around 54 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oslo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oslo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oslo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oslo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oslo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oslo Highlights Bike Tour, Oslo Nature Walks: Island hopping, Central Oslo Guided Walking Tour with Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oslo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oslo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2hr Retro Motorcycle Sidecar Oslo Highlights Tour?

    +

    Included: Helmets are mandatory and always included. We also provide gloves and cagoules should it b. Not included: Optional Ferry ride back to Aker Brygge from the museums at Bygdøy; and Entrance fees to museums or excursions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
