Totally Unprofessional

1.00Decided to do Hop On Hop Off via cruise ship. We stood in line in the rain for 1.5 hrs before they could board us on an available bus. Once on the bus the plug in audio did not work for bus # 24, downstairs for several rows. I complained about it, they knew the issue and told me to use another bus or use my cell phone to listen. Her we are 2:45 on a new bus, have not seen a thing in Oslo yet. And the Hop On Hop Off winds down at 4:00 pm. I would not recommend. Go with the yellow competition. They run cheaper and empty bases. Shame on you Princess Cruises for recommending them.
Extortionate price, poor service

1.00Scandalously expensive as an "operator buy". Tour commentary sound system was not operating. We've had great experiences with these in previous tourist cities. This is the worst by a considerable margin. Find another way.

4.00This was a good way to see the main sights of Oslo. However the audio sometimes didn’t work due to loose connections.

4.00Typical HOHO experience. Needed a better description of where is Stop 1 pick up location. I wonder if better to take the train or bus.
Disappointing journey.

3.00We caught the bus outside the opera building in Oslo. The audio wasn’t working so the tour was pretty useless really. We did get off at the sculpture park and then Reno the bus again later. Same bus by coincidence! They had managed to get the audio working but it was so quit hat it wasn’t really able to be heard whilst travelling with the other traffic noise.
Disappointing - avoid!

1.00Very disappointing. The bus was late at all stops so we stood waiting for 20 minutes after the scheduled time at one stop and over 30 at another, so could only hop off at two stops. It might have been better had there been commentary but the headsets didn't work and when I tried to connect on my own device, the WiFi was intermittent and I did not get past the bit telling me to select a language, and then it either cut out completely or froze. An expensive ticket for a very sub standard service.
Good value

4.00It’s a good way to see the sights. We did not do the entire ride since the cruise ship was in the port and seating was difficult to find.
