The bus did not get to our area until 1 hour after start time. The first bus drove right passed us. We were dropped off by the ABBA museum and pretty much walked the rest of the day as we never could find a bus or the boat. Not work the money. In fact we have requested a refund because of the number of times the bus passed us by as well as it ends at 5 without warning
Andy_P, Apr 2026
That was awesome. Clear instructions about the tour by tour guide. The guide explained about the duration, route of the tour. The guide also informed about how and where to take the metro at the end of the tour.

Quite honestly we would have been just as well off in Stockholm not using the hop-on hop-off bus. First off the hours are limited to 10am to 4pm, and while we decided to ride it for just one full loop, most of the time the audio was just music, there was very little audio tour guide playing and about half the stops had no audio tour guide description. After we got off, we ended up just using Stockholm's public transit for the day which is very convenient as you just tap a credit card, and it went everywhere we wanted to go, and didn't have restrictive hours or force you to go to every stop.

Approximate times of arrival at each location. Confusion on the stop at Hard Rock Cafe and Bibliotech. Needs to be clarified.
Excellent service and great drivers
David_S, Oct 2025
We really enjoyed this for getting around Stockholm, particularly the canal boat portion. It is good value and a wonderful way to see the city.
Bertha_L, Oct 2025
Make sure you print the bar code ticket. My friend did not even though she had the confirmation document they would not accept.
Maurice_R, Oct 2025
We initially had a difficult time finding the designated spots for hop on and off -
Perhaps a big red flag rather than a banner at the bus stops would help.
Stockholm by land and water was excellent we used it over two of our three days. It was pretty good price too the taxis are very expensive in Stockholm so our hop on and off bus ticket saved us many steps
Of walking.
Martha_A, Oct 2025
The buses are clean, drivers are friendly and helpful. The route takes you by and through all the necessary highlights of the city. We do these jump on/off buses to get an idea of the layout of the land. This one did not disappoint!! The app is a must. To be able to track the location of the busses and boats allows you to plan your day without any waste of time. Busses were timely and never truly crowded except on cruiseship days. Thank you.
Allison_H, Oct 2025
Good experience. It does what it says. Just keep in mind that there are 2 hop on hop off companies both using red buses. Some stops are not particularly well marked.
Cynthia_H, Oct 2025
Great way to see and learn about the landmarks of Stockholm. Easy to get off and on. Enjoyed the experience. Didn’t realize we needed to get the earbuds to hear the commentary until we were on the top level of the bus. So make sure you grab one when entering the front of the bus,
Scott_L, Oct 2025
Don’t buy your hop on hop off tickets in advance. Buy them on site. We bought our tickets through Viator in Stockholm. We boarded two different hop on hop off buses from two different companies and were told our tickets were no good because they were from yet another third company. $ 100 US down the toilet!
Thomas_E, Oct 2025
Very nice tour once we found the correct bus. The bus we booked the RED Bus tour but there are more Hop On Hop Off bus.
LAURIE_P, Oct 2025
It was very difficult to find a stop for the first time. The other hop on hop off company operated in the same area. We thought we were at the right stop and waited quite a while for the bus only to find out that it was the wrong one. Frustrating for sure.
Alison_H, Sep 2025
The bus is easy to find. The cruise was really easy to find . This is a great vest to navigate the city.
Kristen_L, Sep 2025
It was confusing with two of same color bus going around. Felt like I listened to more music than history.
Frank_H, Sep 2025
I have taken these hop on hop off tours for some time now. They’re pretty much all the same but I did notice that this one had very clean busses and the drivers are very nice and informative. A must do!
Kathleen_D, Aug 2025
staff very helpful. Canal cruise very enjoyable. Bus clean. Easy to find stops with staff in town. Highly recommend.
Janet_M, Aug 2025
The combination of bus and boat access was perfect in Stockholm It allowed us to cover a lot of areas in the city. Stops are spaced at appropriate distances apart.
Richard_M, Aug 2025
Nice experience overall. But narration needs to state which stop number the bus is currently at. I had a map, but did not know which stop was approaching. Also, there are (at least) two "Hop-on-Hop-Off" companies operating simultaneously on the same routes. Make sure you get on the right bus and right boat, if you do that option.
leta_c, Aug 2025
Very informative! Really enjoyed the narrative and we got acclimated to different meeting places in Stockholm.
Homa_N, Aug 2025
I booked for 72 hours tour, but the ticket on Viator disappeared after 24h. There was no way to contact viator as there is no phone listed to call or send text and the email address not correct. Therefore I paid for 72 hours but could not use it. Therefore I am requesting a full refund
Anita_B, Jul 2025
We booked 72 hours on the bus but actually only used it for one loop (about 1.5 hours) as Stockholm is very walkable. It was easier to walk than wait for a bus. It was fine but the music that plays between commentary is quite annoying. It’s a good way to get a sense of a city. You can also use the hop on hop off boat as well which is fun.
Jasmin_L, Jul 2025
Working time is too short.
From 10:00am till 4:00 pm, and sunset is around 9:30pm.
App is helpful, and accurate.
Alyssa_C, Jul 2025
Easy to use, comfortable buses, reliable.
We never waited very long. The app stinks, but if you can get it to work, you can see where the buses are in real time. Very easy. Audio tour didn't give much info. This was a pleasant experience, but I would do public transit next time. We discovered that it's so easy and cheap!
Terry_R, Jul 2025
Seamless from beginning to end. Lots of buses and boats arriving every 15 mins or so. Great audio commentary. We always try to do a HOHO when we visit a city and this was one of the better ones.
Sharon_W, Jun 2025
My husband and I visited Stockholm for the first time. We hopped on the bus and rode all stops to become acclimated. It was drizzling and we were feeling a bit jet lagged so it was perfect. Next day we did the hop on and off boat ride( 72 hour ticket). It was great. Then hopped back on bus to get to destination. Convenient and staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Wonderful experience! Best way to see the city! 5 stars!!
Nahum_T, Jun 2025
Very timely.... I've read some negative reviews and was skeptical. One driver almost had me rethink my choice until I met another driver who saved the day.
Mark_B, Jun 2025
Our ship never docked so we never used your service. I request a refund of my tour amount. Thank you.
David_H, Jun 2025
Great sights, staff very friendly
We did get off and visit the ABBA and Vasa museum and stopped for lunch, making it back to hotel on last bus, Full day
Upendra_P, Jun 2025
Although we ere booked with Red sightseeing, the agents refused to let us in on the pretext that we were booked with Stromma.On the way back from Stockholm to the cruise terminal , we had to pay another 340 SK (£43) to come back. other wise we would missed our ship.The staff were very unhelpful.
