My wife and i are visiting Oslo next month for 3 days.Would it be possible to get some sort of a tour of the fjords for a couple of hours from Oslo? We dont need to see them all,just a drive by sort of tour.

I don't think the above link will serve your needs. Virtually all of the better-known, more scenic fiords are on the west coast which is well more than a couple of hours away. However, the TI has information on short tours of the Oslo Fiord and there's also a water taxi that I've seen scooting around. I've done neither of these, but have ridden the length of Oslo Fiord on the large ferries to Denmark and don't think this is the best of the fiords by any stretch.

As Ed said, the fjord into Oslo has only low rolling hills and isn't particularly scenic. The beautiful ones run up the west coast of Norway. The Norway in a nutshell gets you some scenic views - that would probably be your best bet. It can be done in one day or two. It sounds like you would want to do it in one day.
