We didn't feel we got value for money on this tour as there was only a limited amount of commentary between the stops along the route, plus most stops could easily be walked to with the exceptions being the TV tower (Kaknästornet) and the ferry wharves (Frihamnen/Tallkig/Silja). The seats are comfortable with proper headsets connected overhead to keep which keeps... More

My bestie and I decided to see Stockholm on the upper saloon of a notorious City Sightseeing double decker.  This was the first mistake. When I board (or should that be "bored") a City Sightseeing bus, I expect to be given a brief history of the city, some geographical anecdotes and a further insight into what, why, where and how....

10 stops on one part of the line that we got on and off and then 10 stops on the other line...same bus, they just change directions. The headsets worked and you could understand what the tapes were saying, compare to a similiar tour in Paris. Look for their signs, you can get on anywhere there is a stop. if... More

What sort of hop on hop off tour runs one bus an hour and has the last bus leaving at 4pm? This crowd are a bunch of hicks. They didn't warn us of the reduced schedule all of their stops had a timetable showing a bus each half hour. We waited and fortunately realized what they were doing otherwise we... More

Unlike most hop on, hop off bus tours, this one was very expensive at Euros 25. There was little to see in Stockholm. Maybe the boat tour would have been better. More

The city of Stockholm is not that big and most of the attractions are close to each other (i would say 50% of all city attractions are in a "10-minute" walking distance from a 'central' point). Three or four of the yellow line's attractions share stops with the blue line. Another 3 attractions of yellow line's attractions can be visited... More

This was the worst HOHO experience by far. Buses are overcrowded and drivers allow too many people to get on thus there were many people standing. We tried 2 different routes and only once we were at the cruise pier, did most people get off to go back to their ship and we were able to get to the top... More

We had purchased tickets prior to arriving in Stockholm. Of the three routes -- only the blue is interesting. The other two really do not hit many sites. We did do the yellow and blue lines. One dropoff/pickup point was confusing -- two lines were on one side of the street and the other was across the street with not... More

I went on the Hop on Hop off tour with the Open Top tours recently with my husband. The bus journey which stopped here and there at Stockholm was a nice way to travel through Stockholm. It is an inexpensive way to look around Stockholm. It covers all the major sites in the Stockholm city. The services were good too.... More

We were on the HO-HO tour boat around Stockholm. It makes a circuit of 8 stops: A. Nybroplan (near shopping district), B. Vasa Museum (totally worth seeing), C. Skeppsholmen (near the Swedish Museum of Architecture and other sights), D. Djurgarden (has an amusement park with wild rides), E. Cruise ship terminal, F. Photography Museum, G. Old Town, and H.
