What’s the best place to book your guided tour?
High season is here! The Oslo tours are in full swing and people are jumping into the fjord for a swim. All our guided tours are now running, so whichever part of Oslo you want to see, you can see it with us at Viking Biking & Hiking. Of course, there are many booking partners you could go through as well as the main Viking Biking & Hiking website itself, but which one is best and why?
Where to book?
The most obvious place to book is with the tour provider themselves, now they aren’t always the best websites, which might make you consider using a booking partner for a more user friendly booking experience, but Viking Biking & Hiking’s website is easy to navigate and runs reliably. That is not the only reason you should book through us, however.
Here are 4 benefits to booking through Viking Biking & Hiking directly
- You can contact us directly
If you book through us, your contact if you have questions about the tour, the route, rebooking or cancellation all goes directly through us. If you book through a booking partner, they can only give you so much information before they themselves have to contact us for further details. - E-bikes 🚲
If you book through us you can book an E-bike beforehand. In the case of booking through a booking partner, you can only upgrade to an E-bike on location when showing up for the tour, but there is no guarantee that there will be E-bikes available at such short notice. - Support small businesses
While the price of a given tour will be about the same whether you book through a booking partner or through Viking Biking & Hiking, when booking through a booking partner, a cut goes to them. If you want to support a local business founded and based in Oslo, book through us! - One less step where something can go wrong
Booking systems are not a perfect science and things can go wrong. Of course both us and the booking partners do everything we can to watch for any inaccuracies and iron out any kinks, but on rare occasions, something will slip through the cracks. If you book through a booking partner, then there are now two systems where something could go wrong: ours and the booking partner’s, booking directly through us makes any booking system hiccup far less likely to happen.
Booking partners make it much easier to find tours of different kinds from all over the world and to see reviews from the public. They are good for us too as they help show our tours to more people than we would be able to advertise on our own. However, for the best booking and tour experience, booking through us in Viking Biking & Hiking directly offers you several benefits you wouldn’t otherwise enjoy.
So book with us now! Let us show you around the city we love so much, we’re sure you will end up loving it just as much as we do! 🌞
