Not the worst, but not the best either

3.00Would have loved for the buses to run more often. I wanted able to do the green routes because I would have had to wait almost 45 minutes for the next bus and I would have missed the last green routes bus back so I missed out on the Fredericksborg Castle and garden which I really wanted to see. I ended up walking 20 minutes to another stop instead of waiting 30 minutes for the next red route bus. The buses do stop at major sights which is great but a lot of time is spent just standing around waiting for a bus and the bus parks for long periods of time (at least 10 minutes waiting around ar the little mermaid stop) at certain locations so your kind of held hostage if you're not getting off or on at those particular spots. Most major cities have pick up times as every 15 minutes and Copenhagen was every 30 minutes. I could have used a second day to really see all the sights.
It would have helped if...

4.00It would have helped if Viator website said to look for a sign that said "Sightseeing" these signs are where you wait for bus. To say it stops by a castle/SMK does not help. Since foreighnerdms would not know an acronym. Needs to be more specific. We lost an hour of asking many people where the bus stops.
Don’t do it!!

1.00DO NOT BOOK!!!!! There are better companies! Never located a map. Never located a bus. Walked 1.5 miles, asked in the station, hotel Astoria and a coffee shop. Tried to call. Tried to message. No response. No refund offered. Will never use again!

5.00It is the perfect way to visit sites at your own pace and super easy and convenient. Buses are easy to spot and arrive every 20 minutes or so.
Easy way to see the city

5.00Easy to figure out once you find a stop. Need to advertise exact hours. Even though it is available for 24 hours, doesn’t start until 10am and stops at 6pm
Audio uninformative

3.00Booked this trip as we like to do a bus tour of a city to get our bearings. Bus drive itself was fine but the automated commentary was pretty uninformative and limited. Given Copenhagen is so walkable it was a bit of a waste. The walking tours were much better.

4.00Very good. Bus stops in or near major attractions, stops are well identified and audio explanations are clear and comprehensive.
Always great first thing to do

5.00We love jumping on especially when we arrive in different cities - usually too early to check in so we drop bags and sit on bus for hours getting acquainted with a new place - very relaxing after an overnight flight.
Worst tour ever

1.00Wish we could go lower than 1 star. Hop on hop off depicts rapid changes but I find myself sitting on a bus waiting mor than riding.
Which Hop on hop off bus are you travelling with

1.00We toured on Hop on hop off bus in Copenhagen. We got off and sought to rejoin at stop 9. Two hop on hop off buses with Classic on the front refused to stop as did one with Red on the front. A second Red hop on hop off bus stopped. When we showed our hop on hop off bus ticket, the driver said that was a "different company ". Be very careful in Copenhagen We have not experienced this problem elsewhere. When the driver travels too quickly, the commentary system jumped about as it is linked to the gps location. The poorest Hop on hop off bus experience we have had.
