Oslo touring - It was easy and great. Did one full round and then stopped at a couple of museums. Enhanced my time in Oslo, especially since it was raining.

Hop on hop off bus in Oslo - Covers many important sights . Buses come frequently. Commentary via ear buds good.. Bus met us at cruise port which was very convenient.

The Wheels on the Bus Go ‘Round - The bus was comfortable and provided us with what we needed to get around town. The hitch was at the beginning… We did not know which bus to get on as there was some confusion about the bus with white or yellow. All the buses said “hop on, hop off,” so it was very confusing and this continued at every stop. We would hop off to tour some area of Oslo, then when we went back to the bus stop, it was the same thing all over again… Which bus to get on.The second issue was with the running narrative… There was a lot of static on mine, and the earbuds do not fit in my ears. Other than that, it was perfect!

Oslo - May be busy periods when seats are not available such as when tour boats dock. Drivers may skip stops.

Not as good as expected. - This wasn’t as good as other hop on hop off yours. Very hard to hear commentary. A lot of the plugs didn’t work. Buses were running very behind.

Can't recommend this tour in Oslo - First off, the driver drove like a mad man! I am not quite sure what his issue was, but we did not feel safe on the first bus. Then, the recorded messages stopped working after stop 2 so we learned nothing. Very disappointing.

Gray line hop on hop off Buses SHAMBLES - What an absolute shambles of a company dangerously overcrowded buses with people having to stand on the staircase and both upstairs and downstairs. Buses kicking off all the passengers then driving off , long waits between buses, headphones not working and staff fobbing people off. Also they charge 2 different prices in the area where the buses arrive. If you go on the website you can try and claim a refund but only if you haven't used your ticket, brilliant. How to cover your backside with no consequences. If anyone knows the health and safety office in Oslo where I can make a formal complaint please advise. I will be writing to the cruise ships to warn there customers of the issues with this company. Dangerous and careless should not have a license

Not worth the money - The audio was not continuous with large gaps of no commentary. The second level plastic curtain was hooked by the trees and kept ripping away from the supports and created issues and was dangerous. We were never told what channel to use and luckily another customer informed us. The salesman was friendly but didn’t feel the trip was worth the money

Very disappointed - It was very poor. The audio did not work, the driver was not friendly and the covering on the top to keep the rain out kept blowing off. I cut my finger trying to snap the plastic back in. This was a bad experience all around.

Wasted day in Oslo - Horrible waste of time. No audio. No announcement of stops. My husband used Google maps to figure out where we were. We road the loop back to the beginning. We're requesting a refund. Terrible waste of our day in Oslo.
