Excellent way to explore this beautiful city

DavidJ_N, Sep 2026

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

Be great if I could use it

Keith_L, Sep 2026

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 are a top-off!

Susan_K, Aug 2026

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...

roger_b, Aug 2026

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

Great flexible boat tour

Lesley_K, Aug 2026

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...

Mary_S, Aug 2026

Ask if there are deviations to the route. We could have seen more had we known. There is a lot to see in Stockholme.

Julie_S, Aug 2026

Excellent way to get around the city, by bus and boat, would commend it as a first day option, to find your bearings.

Carol_M, Aug 2026

It hit the major sights and gave us an excellent overview of Stockholm. I would do it again any day.

One day in Stockholm

idanny_m, Aug 2026

Great experience with friendly staff. Great tour. Good stops. The audio guide could be better but it was not bad

Good tour

Lynn_J, Aug 2026

Nice clean bus. Ear buds worked well and you could hear and understand. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The sightseeing was great but….

Emmanuelle_F, Jul 2026

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!

Hop on hop off Stockholm

James_M, Jul 2026

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.

Redline Hop on-Hop off site-seeing tour in Stockholm

bje501, Jul 2026

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.

Biggest Waste of Time and Money

Melissa_C, Jul 2026

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...

Michelle_K, Jul 2026

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.

Excellent boat and bus combo

RossA_W, Jul 2026

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

Your tour driver in Stockholm needs better training,

Carl_C, Jul 2026

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 !

Tracy_F, Jul 2026

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

Great for a Cruise Day Excursion

Karolyn_L, Jun 2026

Very convenient to get on right outside the cruise terminal. Great way to spend the short amount of time we had in Stockholm.

Good but not perfect

John_M, Jun 2026

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.

Red bus

TerriVoss, Jun 2026

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 Stockholm

ed_S, Jun 2026

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...

michaelbutler_b, Jun 2026

Excellent all round. The staff/crew were very helpful, and we were impressed by the standard of the boat.

June 20 Tour

Steven_L, Jun 2026

The ride is narrated in several languages including English. Headphones are provided. It covers a small portion of the city. It is a good way to be introduced to the city.

Don’t book with this outfit!

Nancy_P, Jun 2026

The people in red who are supposed to be running things sent us from stop to stop and bus to bus to finally take us on a ride that did not match the advertised route and had very little audio information. It was a disaster.

Disorganized at the End

Robert_S, Jun 2026

Easily accessible from cruise port. Horribly disorganized at the end. Little tour dialog on the route.

Big waste of time and money

Lynette_W, Jun 2026

This was a terrible experience. We got on the bus at 10am. There was an event going in town. The route was changed without notice. Only way I found out it had been changed was because another passenger on the bus had found out. They took us through a bunch of residential areas and around the city hall twice, and then at a stop they told us we all had to get off and they were going out of service. This was at 11 o’clock in the morning. We walked almost 5 miles to get to where the boat ride was supposed to be and the boat ride had closed down until 3:30 in the afternoon. We had to be back at our boat by four. The buses were not going to run again until 4 o’clock. We had to take a taxi back to the port which was 601 Swedish Krona. It was a big waste of money. If they were making changes to the itinerary, they should have notified us. I wish I could get a refund.

Missed the boat!

Don_W, Jun 2026

Due to the kings Anniversary could not do the canal boat trip. When I got to the drop point for the canal boat ride it was closed! Also the drop off point for the Vasa Museum was over 3/4 mile away.

Nope

Gerald_M, Jun 2026

The buses audio on two buses did not work well, and then just played repetitive music over and over and over and over at one stop we waited almost 45 minutes for the bus to come The boat hop on hop off on the other hand was very good!!!
