In late fall, the time of the tour is only 6-7 hours long. It's hard to see everything if you hop off and the next bus isn't for 45-60 minutes. The tour itself is great! There many great places to stop at with history thrown in.
Only one driver announced each stop. The other driver was busy on his phone with his earbud. Will not use again.
I did not get to do this excursion, our ship did not port there, and I’m very disappointed that Viator would not reimburse me for tickets. I could not use.
Very good it’s worth the money, easy to get around with good sights and history. Plenty to see and do
Our tour was cancelled with no refund because we couldn’t port due to weather. Not cool. So disappointed.
Not as speedy as other cities. Would have been better off taking an uber to the museums and outer areas.
Total chaos. Buses taking ages to get through traffic, waited 50 minutes for a bus to have a full bus arrive followed by two more buses. Nearly 100 in the queue by then. I bought a 72 hour ticket to be told no HOHO buses running on the second day!! Viator very helpful and issued a partial refund.
We caught the bus over 48 hours and used the hop on hop off aspect to explore the city’s many attractions.: bus took us to all the major areas and we timed it so we didn’t have to wait long to catch it again. Get the ticket that includes the canal tour
Bought 72 hour bus and boat ticket a week ago. Only arrived yesterday so did short bus route. Tried to find my ticket in apple wallet to use for most ride. It’s disappeared. Very disappointed
They sold tickets for a day when there was a 1/2 marathon & the buses were not running! Disgusting! Why would you do that???
Covers all the key spots that Hop on Hop on should. We use this service in all cities we visit. Two concerns .. frequency was only once an hour .. and noticed drivers take frequent stops. .. ie 15 minutes at stop 15 when we were on. Understand first and last stops but not in the middle when you just want to get going
Enabled us to see more of Stockholm in day than we would otherwise have been able to. Excellent views of the city and great museum links
Ask if there are deviations to the route. We could have seen more had we known. There is a lot to see in Stockholme.
Excellent way to get around the city, by bus and boat, would commend it as a first day option, to find your bearings.
It hit the major sights and gave us an excellent overview of Stockholm. I would do it again any day.
Great experience with friendly staff. Great tour. Good stops. The audio guide could be better but it was not bad
Nice clean bus. Ear buds worked well and you could hear and understand. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The route and sightseeing was great however the bus did not come to our port stop as advertised. They stoped at another port later in the day and waited 20 minutes for those passengers. One of the buses heat was on very high making everyone uncomfortable.
Also stop # 16 was not well marked. We missed it completely and had to run back to catch the bus!
Great way to get around and view Stockholm, and get off and on. We mainly visited the ABBA museum, and Vasa museum but the line for vasa on a Saturday was long.
What a fun way to tour. The map was very helpful. Saved us a whole lot of walking allowing us to only go to the sites that interested us. The only downside was that there needs to be signage for what part of the port to wait for the boat tour. Even the people at the booth didn’t know where to go for this portion of the tour.
The bis barely stops at any of the designated stops - only of there are people at the stop waiting to get on. Otherwise the driver goes right past the stop and there is no way to indicate you want to get off. Ninety percent of the audio is music - so you’re essentially driving around, listening to Muzak, having no idea where you are. Huge waste of time and money.
This bus/boat experience was very frustrating and disappointing. There are no hours posted on the app, so you have no way of knowing when the boats are coming. One day they completely re-routed the buses and the people working there gave us very poor correct information.
There were three young men from three different African countries who were the greeters that really helped to get me off to a good. I had a great time on the boat and on the bus getting to all the different sites
The driver in Stockholm would not allow us to board the bus with our ticket information on our cell phone. He said "This is just a picture of your ticket. I must see your ticket." I told him this was what we were sent. He said again "I need ticket." I said "Where do we get it?" He said "I don't know but you can't get on. So we missed our ride. We tried to get on in Stockholm at the stop by the Hard Rock Cafe. We should get a refund from Viator. We had no such problem in Barcelona or London.
Great way to see everything once & then go back & explore, if you download the ap you can track the buses , the boat was a great way to see the view different perspectives
Very convenient to get on right outside the cruise terminal. Great way to spend the short amount of time we had in Stockholm.
The bus itself was clean and the driver was very capable and friendly. We were surprised and disappointed however that the web site description is inaccurate in that there were no buses at the cruise ship port as described. We had to take the cruise ship shuttle into town and then go to the pickup point to catch the bus. The boat ride was good but nothing special. The narration was spotty and hard to hear even with the volume all the way up.
We have been on other hop on hop off buses that provided much better information on the bus as well as better labeling of stops
HOHO bus and boat tours were great in Stockholm. The end of the day however left a sour taste. The company rep in Stockholm arbitrarily moved people to the front of the line for loading, we all paid the same fare, and the driver got lost in Nynashamn upon return. If you only take one, take the boat, better perspective and a slower pace.
Excellent all round. The staff/crew were very helpful, and we were impressed by the standard of the boat.
