Great Overview of the City! - Had a great time riding around and getting off in different neighborhoods. We had done a bike tour the day before, so this gave us the opportunity to spend more time in certain areas.

Good but can be improved - Nice short trip. The commentary could have been better, especially with timing. The bus did not seem to stop at all the designated stops. Moreover, 30 minutes between trips is too long, it should be cut to no more than 15 minutes.

Disappointing. Two hop on hop off tours - Disappointing. We discovered these in another country and found for a short investment of time, you receive a good overview of a city. There are two hop on hop off tours in Oslo, both in red buses, traveling the same route and making the same stops. We took both as the first one was disappointing: the audio equipment did not work well. We had been told by the hotel to take the newer one but I could not tell. The one with more yellow on the bus (and on the receipt) was better.

My Mother taught me that "if you can't say anything nice, don't say it". - Don't make the mistake I made thinking there is a single company in a given city that operatesa "Hop ON/Off Bus". Not in Oslo.

Find a better tour please - Started badly. Bus supposedly due in a few minutes, 30 minutes later it arrived. Audio system inaudible. First stop, bus waited 20 minutes. Second stop after 30 minutes stopped we got off disgusted. Worst city tour ever. Must be better ones in Oslo, we found the worst, or if it wasn’t the others must be horrendous.

Not worth your time or money in Oslo. - We’ve done some of these hop on hop off bus tours in other countries with great success, but that’s not the experience we had in Oslo. Our driver drove past 4 straight stops, so we missed getting off at some places of interest along the way. Pretty annoying.

NO REFUND granted!! Beware!’ - BEWARE!!!! They say they offer a free refund. We canceled this tour two hours after booking and never started the tour. They have refused to refund our $80.40. I have written several emails and spoke with a representative to no avail. Book your hop on hop off elsewhere!!
