"It even has tips and locations for all types of budgets to get the quality and price you want for meals."
"It can't, of course, cover everything, and a few bits were already slightly out of date, but that's only natural with a tour book."
"Great summary of different areas with good detail on activities to do."
"So many good pointers for travel in this book."
"Very fast service."
"The book itself is very good, it is the e book version that is terrible and almost impossible to use as a reference."

"Also has a small area map of Oslo showing main roads in and out of an area about ten times that of the detailed map."
"Many high lighted features noted on the map.Looking forward to our trip to Norway next month."
"These maps will be very helpful."
"Each city tourist info center gives you a map of the city center, but nothing matches these maps for a true overview of the cities."
"We had been to Oslo before and walked to Frogner park from the city center w/o the aide of a map."
"It's a good street map to Oslo; less so for Bergen."
"Better than a map in a guide-book, larger scale than the Norway country map, this is a must for travelers in an unfamiliar country."
