Stops are not marked and... - Stops are not marked and therefore hard to find for a first-time visitor. Two companis run the same tour and the same looking buses so there is always an argument between the visitors and the driver when people try to board and have a ticket for the other company. The only difference - hard to detect- is that one company is called sightseeing and the other one citysightseeing. As usual, the recorded explanations are hard to understand. The tours end too early to do more than one round and one or two hop-offs. However, all hop-on and hop-off tours are useful to give a first-time visitor an orientation.

Save your money. Terribl.Bus stopped repeatedly for 15 mins-not at bus stop no explanation. Finally got off and walked. - Wasted 40 minutes of limited time in Bergen stopped by the side of the road-no explanation. A waste of $100 for what is supposed to be a 55 min round trip ride. A 20 min walk from cruise terminal and fish market and old town. . Many of the headsets outlets didn’t work. We have used hop on and off buses all the time. This was the worst! Bought tickets on Viator for 2. They said we needed to exchange them for paper-& we were given a ticket for one person. Fortunately I caught it before I boarded the bus

Not worth the price. - I was excited to take the hop on hop off buss in Bergen with my family to learn more about the city. Unfortunately, the WiFi on the buss did not work and the phone audio only played the audio for stop 1. Fortunately, I had some wired headphones and was able to get the audio to work through the audio player in the seat. I do not feel that it was worth the cost of the tour.

Driver too dangerous to be behind the wheel - Our driver was very careless. He seemed to be more concerned with keeping the schedule than with safety of passengers getting on and getting off the bus, especially from the top deck. He pulled away while one elderly couple was trying to climb from the upper level to exit the bus, causing the lady to fall..

Worst ever - not worth a fraction of the price. - Terrible. Tour stoped mid stream because “the driver needed a break”. Only to find out there was one bus left for the day. I took it while everyone else patiently waited for the next bus - which never came. The driver failed to turn on the voice recording for the tour - due to “technical problems”. So half the tour offered no insights and was basically just a drive. I always take these tours as a great way to understand the layout of the city. This was the worst one ever. Save your money and skip this.

Not worth the money - We always try the hop on hop off bus tour when we travel, it’s an easy way to get your bearings of the places you want to see. However this was the worst one ever. It cost approximately £32 each for a 24hr ticket and lasted about 45 minutes. The audio never seemed to be in sync with the scene in front of you and the drivers audio system was muffled.

Worst experience possible... - Worst experience possible … NO regular pickup times … in fact, never saw another bus after my first hop off … never got to hop on again.

Extremely Disappointing - This tour was a complete letdown. If you are looking for an informative introduction to Bergen, this is not the way to go. The audio commentary was sparse and unhelpful, with long, awkward silences that made it seem as though the system wasn’t working. There was no guidance on what to expect at upcoming stops, and at one point we sat idly for ten minutes with no explanation at all. The driver’s announcements were unclear and difficult to understand, which only added to the confusion. We often take hop-on/hop-off tours in new cities and have always found them worthwhile. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we’ve had—an absolute waste of both time and money.
