  • Not worth the money!

    The audio was not continuous with large gaps of no commentary. The second level plastic curtain was hooked by the trees and kept ripping away from the supports and created issues and was dangerous. We were never told what channel to use and luckily another customer informed us. With the rain, you couldn’t see out the windows (no wiper blades). The salesman was friendly but didn’t feel the trip was worth the money

  • Not recommended…

    My wife and I have travelled extensively. We have used The recommendation of Viator for different tours, etc. Based on the Viator website we booked the Hop-on, Hop-off bus in Oslo. The bus was constantly late and unreliable from the schedules listed. Frequently the bus commentary failed to work. The whole experience was a disaster. I would definitely suggest using the alternate Hop-on, Hop-off bus company. I wish I had.

  • Would give 0 stars

    The bus never came, and then they rejected my refund, and literally wrote that they didn’t issue my refund because they didn’t feel like it. Spend your $100+ dollars literally anywhere else. It completely ruined my trip.

  • Not for family

    It was 30 degree Celsius and no AC in the bus. No mentioned about such when we rode on it. Asked for water because it has stickers indicating they sell water there is none.

  • Really only beneficial if you want to go to the museums.

    Due to the clockwise direction around the city, it takes over an hour to get from the city center area back to the cruise terminals, so isn't as useful as it could be. We ended up walking back to the terminal since it was only 20 minutes. Great if you mainly want to go out the museums, but if you don't, and just want to see the main city, don't bother. Commentary was very limited, too.
