How it works
Budget fjord tour operators advertise scenic full-day trips from Oslo at attractive prices. On the day, the boat is crowded, the route shorter than described, and premium add-ons (guide commentary, meals, photo stops) cost extra.
How it works
Street sellers near the Viking Ship Museum and Bygdøy ferry stop sell 'discounted' museum passes that are either photocopied fakes or passes bought in another visitor's name that will not be accepted at the door.
