No Rain Tour of the City

Wendae_G, Oct 2026
Good tour of the city. It was nice there was a stop right at the cruise terminal As there were 7 of us we were able to get a paper copy of our tickets right there.

Great way to view Oslo

Helen_R, Oct 2026
Great way to see Oslo. Audio worked off and on initially but eventually connected. First running 10 mins late but overall great activity.

Less than stellar

Kim_W, Oct 2026
The monologue was difficult to hear and understand. Would be nice if your stops were marked with a number on the signs at each bus stop. Bus drivers never greeted anyone.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Your comments about the audio volume, the signage at the stops, and the driver service have been passed to our local team in Oslo to review and improve.

I don't know if there...

Melissa_B, Sep 2026
I don't know if there just isn't much to see in Oslo or if the tour was just lacking but it was really boring and I don't feel like I learned much. There was a lot of silence and gaps in the commentary. It wouldn't be hard to find something interesting to say I'm sure!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Melissa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback for City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. We are sincerely sorry to hear that you found the tour boring, that you felt you didn't learn much, and that there was a lot of silence and gaps in the commentary. This is not the experience we want to provide, as we believe Oslo has so much interesting history, architecture and culture to share, and our commentary should definitely reflect that. We apologize that the narration did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Your comments about the gaps in the commentary have been shared with our team in Oslo to review and improve the content and timing of our audio guide. Thank you again for letting us know, your feedback is very valuable to help us improve. Team City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Money saver

Rita_B, Sep 2026
Convenient for transportation bc taxis and uber are expensive. Only a few minutes wait at the stop even if you just missed a bus.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your review for City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour!

Terrible

Carol_R, Sep 2026
Audio didn’t work and no announcements or information was given during ride, not even the stop number or attraction was announced as the bus stopped. Also, we were on the stairs going up to the top and the bus started making it treacherous to get to a seat. Very poor experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Carol, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour, and please accept our sincerest apologies for your terrible experience. We are very sorry to hear that the audio did not work during your ride and that no announcements or information were given, not even the stop number or attraction. This is absolutely not the service we aim to provide. The commentary is an essential part of our tour to help you discover the city, and we have reported this issue to our local operations team in Oslo to check the audio system on that bus immediately. We are particularly concerned to read that the bus started moving while you were still on the stairs going up to the top deck, making it treacherous to get to a seat. The safety of our guests is our absolute priority and our drivers are instructed to wait until all passengers are seated before departing. We apologize that this did not happen and we will reinforce this safety procedure with all our drivers. We fully understand your disappointment and thank you for bringing these important points to our attention, as they help us improve our service. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with the much better experience we are known for. Kind regards, Team City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Perfect for Oslo Overview

Helen_P, Sep 2026
Easy to do from Holland America cruise dock in Oslo AND less expensive, especially on a rainy day! We did the HOHO bus on Day one of our stop here to get an overview.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Helen, thank you so much for your wonderful review for City Sightseeing Oslo! We are so happy to hear that it was perfect for an Oslo overview, easy to do from the Holland America cruise dock AND less expensive, especially on a rainy day! We are delighted that you chose to do the HOHO bus on Day one of your stop to get an overview. That is exactly what we recommend to get your bearings! Thank you again for choosing City Sightseeing Oslo and we hope to welcome you back on board very soon, perhaps on a sunnier day! Team City Sightseeing Oslo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Nice way to get over view of the city

Howard_B, Sep 2026
Bus was clean and head sets supplied and worked. Easy pick up and drop off. Covered a large area in a 1.5 hours for the complete loop

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your kind review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your City Sightseeing Oslo experience and found the bus clean, the audio headsets reliable, and the stops convenient. We’re also pleased that you were able to see a large part of Oslo during the complete loop. We hope to welcome you back on board on your next visit! City Sightseeing Oslo Team

Dont bother

Joyce_H, Sep 2026
Don't bother...poor audio guides and drivers are rude and worthless. We planned to use it for two days and gave up and only used it for 6 hours. We have used hop on/hop off in other towns and enjoyed our experience. Oslo? Not a bit of fun.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Joyce, thank you for telling us straight and sorry for such a disappointing day. That you planned to use us for two days and gave up after 6 hours says it all, we let you down. The audio should be clear and make the ride enjoyable, not the opposite, and our drivers should make you feel welcome, not that. We know you’ve enjoyed hop on hop off in other cities, so it stings even more that Oslo wasn’t fun at all for you. Could you share which day this was at customer@city-sightseeing.com? We want to check the buses and brief the team again. Thanks again for the honest feedback, The Oslo team

Oslo in a nutshell

William_D, Sep 2026
Very nice. Amy , our guide was pleasant, informative and accommodating. Easy walking conditions! Definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear William, thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you had a very nice time and that Amy, your guide, was pleasant, informative and accommodating. We are lucky to have her on our team! And great to hear the walking conditions were easy too. Thank you for your recommendation, it means the world to us! Sending you a big hug from the whole City Sightseeing Oslo team and we hope to see you again very soon!

Oslo transportation

Richard_H, Sep 2026
We have used hop on-hop off buses at several cities and they do help get you to more points of interest in less time. My only complaint is that they stop running too soon. It would be better if they ran later and more often rather than have 3 different bus lines running similarly operations. One thing to note about Oslo is that it is very walkable and not that large so if you are there more than 1 or 2 days, then you probably won’t need this service.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Richard, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review, we really appreciate it! You are absolutely right, hop on hop off buses are a great way to get to more points of interest in less time, especially on the first day to get your bearings. And thank you for your honest feedback about the schedule. We understand your point about them stopping a bit too soon and about the frequency vs. having 3 lines with similar operations. In Oslo we try to adapt our schedule to the daylight hours and the opening hours of the main attractions, which is why we end a bit earlier than in larger cities, but we have taken note of your suggestion to run later and more often, we will share it with our operations team to see how we can improve. You make a great point too, Oslo is indeed very walkable and not that large, which is part of its charm! For many visitors staying 1-2 days the bus is the perfect way to save time and cover everything, and for those staying longer it's a fantastic way to get the overview on day one. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, it really helps us get better. Sending you a big hug from the whole City Sightseeing Oslo team and we hope to see you again very soon!

Very bad audio guide, almost no information.

lioudmila_M, Aug 2026
Absolutely no information from the audio “guide”, most of the time just about announcing stops. No history, no architecture description. No interesting facts, total waste of time that can be used to tell tourists a lot about the country and the city.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your City Sightseeing Oslo experience. We are sorry to hear that the audio commentary did not provide the level of information you expected during your hop-on hop-off tour. We understand that learning about Oslo’s history, architecture, landmarks and interesting facts is an important part of a sightseeing experience, and we regret that the commentary did not meet your expectations in this regard. Your comments are valuable and will be shared with the relevant local team so the content and overall quality of the audio guide can be reviewed. We hope you will consider giving City Sightseeing Oslo another opportunity in the future, allowing us to provide a more informative and enjoyable way to discover the city.

Overview of Oslo

Sue_A, Aug 2026
Good overview of Oslo. Stops near the port when cruise ships are in which was very handy and stops were close to attractions

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Sue, Thank you very much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your City Sightseeing Oslo experience and found the Hop-On Hop-Off bus a convenient way to get a good overview of the city. It’s great to know that you found the stops near the port particularly handy during your cruise and that their location close to Oslo’s main attractions made sightseeing even easier. We hope to welcome you back to Oslo for another City Sightseeing adventure in the future! Best regards, The City Sightseeing Oslo Team

Hop-on-Hop-Off scam

Mary_V, Aug 2026
Beware! This company is not the only one that uses "Hop on Hop Off" bus. We got on the bus at stop 12; we got off at stop 2 at the museums. When we tried to get back on the bus to continue the bus tour, the driver said you have a different company ticket and would not let us on the bus. It's the same bus, not my problem it was a different company. Apparantly more than one bus of the exact same paint scheme. Well the viator version ends at 4pm, so there was no more buses.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Mary, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry for the confusion regarding the different Hop-On Hop-Off operators in Oslo and understand how frustrating it must have been to discover that your ticket was not valid for the bus you were trying to board. We appreciate that, from a passenger’s perspective, buses with similar branding and routes can make it difficult to distinguish between operators, especially when using a booking platform such as Viator. We’re sorry this affected your sightseeing plans and that you were unable to continue your tour after visiting the museums. We take your feedback seriously and will share it with our local team, particularly regarding how clearly the different services and ticket validity are communicated to passengers. We hope you’ll consider giving City Sightseeing Oslo another opportunity in the future for a smoother Hop-On Hop-Off experience. Kind regards, The City Sightseeing Oslo Team

One-day ticket is enough. Good for cruise passengers.

Roger_G, Aug 2026
A good way to see some of Oslo’s attractions. I bought a two-day ticket, but didn’t use it the second day. A few more stops in the city would have been better, including one by the City Hall/Nobel Peace Centre, and one near the Cathedral. Four stops by the cruise terminals is good for cruise passengers, but not for other tourists.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Roger, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that you found City Sightseeing Oslo to be a good way to discover many of the city's attractions, especially for cruise passengers. We also appreciate your constructive suggestions regarding the route and stop locations. Your comments about adding stops closer to landmarks such as the City Hall, the Nobel Peace Centre and the Cathedral are valuable, and we will share them with our local team as we continually evaluate ways to enhance the sightseeing experience for all visitors. Thank you for choosing City Sightseeing Oslo. We hope to welcome you on board again during a future visit to Norway. Kind regards, Quality Department

Worst HOHO worldwide!!!

Paul_O, Aug 2026
Easy to find start point. Downhill from there. Narration was off more than it was on. Could not see any of the sites we drove past-no stops for photos. BIGGEST waste of money and time. Have done HOHO trips in many cities across the globe and this was the worst ever. Very poor orientation to a big city.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your experience with City Sightseeing Oslo did not meet your expectations. While we are pleased that you found the starting point easy to locate, we regret that the audio commentary, the sightseeing experience, and the overall tour did not provide the quality you were expecting. Your comments regarding the audio synchronization and the overall route experience are greatly appreciated. Feedback from experienced travellers like yourself is invaluable, and we will ensure that your observations are shared with our local team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the service. Thank you again for your honest review. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Kind regards, Quality Department

Easy and smooth ride...

Coral_M, Jul 2026
Easy and smooth ride around Oslo. Do be mindful of the time as service ends 4pm and museums parks can take awhile. Audio worked well. Many language options.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Coral, Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with City Sightseeing Oslo and that you found the ride easy and comfortable. It's also great to know that the audio commentary worked well and that the wide range of language options helped you make the most of your tour.

We appreciate you choosing City Sightseeing Oslo and hope to welcome you on board again on your next visit. Kind regards, Quality Department

Whilst the actual boat...

Mark_W, Jul 2026
Whilst the actual boat trip was okay, it was extremely stressful trying to locate the actual boat to go on. There were numerous queues for many different boats and all of the people who had bought tickets online were totally confused. In the end we all entered different queues and when one of our group found they were in the right one he let us know. Even then we only just boarded on time, having been in the general meeting area highlighted our ticket for the previous 45 minutes.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Mark. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the City Sightseeing Oslo sightseeing cruise, but we're very sorry to learn that finding the correct boarding point caused unnecessary stress at the start of your trip. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive in good time, only to face confusion with multiple queues and unclear guidance for guests who had purchased their tickets online. This is certainly not the smooth and enjoyable experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with our local operations team so they can review the boarding process and signage with the departure staff. Improving the information provided before boarding is essential to ensuring that visitors can begin their Oslo sightseeing cruise with confidence and without unnecessary delays. Thank you again for your valuable comments. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much smoother City Sightseeing experience in the future.

Fast

Mark_W, Jul 2026
You can always get off if the driver is not to your liking. Stops are VERY short be ready and fast. They don’t slow down for any reason.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback Mark. We appreciate you taking the time to comment on your experience with City Sightseeing Oslo. We understand that the duration of stops is an important part of the hop-on hop-off experience, as passengers need enough time to get on and off the bus comfortably. Our buses follow a scheduled route to ensure that all visitors can enjoy as many of Oslo’s main sights as possible within the available operating time. We always recommend checking the timetable and planning your stops in advance to make the most of the tour. We also appreciate your positive attitude towards our drivers and will continue working to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Thank you for choosing City Sightseeing Oslo.

Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour - Oslo

It starts and finish at the cruise port in Oslo. It's a wonderful way of getting around the city and seeing the attractions. The audio was just so-so. But overall, we would do it again. Always ENJOY these bus tours!!

Disappointing tour!!!

Susan_L, Jul 2026
We were unable to take this tour for a couple of reasons: we were never able to download a map to determine the best place to find the bus. After walking around the entire Oslo station we found a hop on hop off bus station, only to find out it was the competition with the same name! By this time it was too late for us and we had to head back to the airport to catch our flight. We tried to ask for a refund but were declined. They were Not very organized and didn’t ever acknowledge that there are two companies running hop on hop off bus tours. We were not able to download a map to find our way. Disappointing!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Susan, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with City Sightseeing Oslo. We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to enjoy your hop-on hop-off bus tour. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have difficulty accessing the route map and then encounter confusion between different sightseeing bus operators in Oslo, especially when you were travelling on a tight schedule before your flight. We regret that this situation prevented you from locating our service in time and that your experience with the refund request added to your disappointment. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. Your comments regarding the accessibility of our route information and the need for clearer guidance where multiple sightseeing operators are present have been noted and will be shared with our local team. Feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities to improve the City Sightseeing Oslo experience for future visitors. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much more positive experience should you visit Oslo again.

We love Hop on Hop off bus service

Marilou_K, Jul 2026
Our experience with this company was excellent. They consistently strive to be punctual and provide high-quality service. Their staff is always very friendly, and we would like to specifically commend Aldofo. We greatly appreciated his assistance when we had questions; he was readily available to help us immediately. We were in Oslo, Norway when we first encountered Aldofo, one staff in that city. He helped as soon we had questions about how to get to our hotel. He educated us on how the Hop-on-Hop-off bus works and gave us practical tips on how to use the system. We are very grateful for the use of the Hop-on-Hop-off bus service for our city tours. It makes navigating the city much easier, especially when visiting various attractions. Your service is truly helpful in getting us to these places. Thank you very much for your services.

Good introduction to Oslo

Nicholas_C, Jul 2026
We like to use these HO-HO tours to get the lie of the land in a new town, so we can decide where we might want to return to. This was as good as any. My only small complaint would be the headphones. I couldn’t work out if there was just a poor connection or gaps on the commentary, but that didn’t detract from the enjoyment.

Oslo HopOn-HopOff Bus

Ellen_H, Jun 2026
Stops are very near all must-see sights. We saw everything we planned to see, and it was not crowded on the day we toured. Although we chose to sit in the enclosed bottom level, there was open-air seating on the top level.

Nice service

Timothy_W, Jun 2026
It was nice with the 48 hour pass. It allowed us to go back to each interesting site and get off. However, on stop 4 we waited almost an hour because one bus came early and we missed it and the other one was a little later. That was irritating because we left the exhibits early to meet the bus.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the City Sightseeing Oslo bus stops well organised, punctual, and that you enjoyed the variety of stops included on the route. Oslo is a fantastic city to explore, and our hop-on hop-off tour is designed to make it easy to visit key highlights such as the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Royal Palace area, and the waterfront. However, we are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with the audio commentary system. Reliable headset performance is an important part of the tour experience, and we understand how this can affect enjoyment of the journey. Your comments have been shared with our local operations team so they can investigate and improve equipment reliability. Despite this, we’re pleased that overall you still enjoyed the route and found the service useful for discovering the city. Thank you again for choosing City Sightseeing and for your helpful review.

Must do excursion!

The busses were running really good. I didn't have to wait long at all to get on at a stop. The price was reasonable.
