Picked us up fight at the disembarkation place. Just make sure that you board the one that is labeled City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off and it worked great !

We got to see some different areas of Oslo and experience how the fjords are connected as well as affected by the environment. It was cold enough that one section of the fjord was frozen over so a different path was taken to continue the cruise. The cruise line was great and very accommodating!

A very good tour and half the price being charged by the cruise line. The guide was excellent and as it was a mixed coach gave the commentary in 3 languages. Only problem we had was trying to find the coach, it was parked on a street to the side of the City Hall and not as instructed at the front of the building

Great way to see Oslo. One driver left us running behind the bus at the stop across from the Viking Museum. Had to wait almost 30min for the next bus.

The tour was just what we wanted and allowed us enough time to see the museums that weren't on the tour such as the Fram, Contiki and Maritime Museum. The tour guide and driver were fantastic and very helpful.

I was really expecting great things from this tour as every Viator tour has been amazing for me so far. However, it was alright, not brilliant - our Italian English speaking guide didn't have much to say about the fjords, so not a very informative or interesting tour. Those of us on the upper deck couldn't really hear her very well when she did speak every fifteen minutes or so, but she made no effort to include us or get up on the upper deck a few times. The natural landscape was beautiful though which made up for it, as did the plentiful supply of blankets which kept us warm in very blustery conditions!

Booking on-line ahead of time is very convenient. The masted ship was lovely and very comfortable. Stories and explanations were fun and informative.

Trip was good. Unfortunately there are 3 companies in Oslo with hop on and hop off and they all make the same stops. Once we figured out who was who and where we should hop, it all worked out

The bus came right to our ship. Oslo is a big city with many sites spread out in a large area. The hop-on-hop off made it easy to get from site to site. It was raining the day we visited Oslo and the bus made it convenient .to stay dry while traveling between sites. It was also possible to skip some outside venues and come back later when the showers stopped. In Oslo as in some other locations, there are copy cat hop-on-hop off buses that look almost identical. People were frequently trying to get on the wrong buses. Make sure you note the slight differences between them. Our's was identified as the "Official" hop-on-hop off. Bus staff pointed this out at our first ship side stop.
