We didn't like that there wasn't enough information about the city. Inhabitants, size, government, etc. Also, some of the systems for the headphones were defective.

We had to wait almost an hour in the pouring rain and wind for the bus in front of the opera! From 16h05 to 17hoo. I had to take a cab to the hotel. 23€!!!! as I nearly passed out from the cold and shivering! We then saw two of your buses from the cab, one after the other. There was no more talk of a waiting time of 30 minutes. I think that a commercial gesture from you would be the least you could do. Please report back.

We paid for a 48 hour ticket for Oslo only to discover there was no bus service on the second day. We had not used our tickets and contacted the help desk only to receive an automated response saying a refund was not possible but we could use out ticket another day. This was not possible as we were only in Oslo for two days. We followed up with an email but got no response.

Did the hop on hop off bus with my sister and we LOVED IT. The top deck view is epic, especially when you cruise past the water—seriously, don't forget a jacket, it gets windy up there! We hopped off at the Viking Ship Museum (def worth it) and then at the Opera House. Audio commentary was fun, not too dry. Only thing—bus got pretty packed around lunch hour, so we had to stand for a bit, but didn't mind honestly. Oh, and our driver was suuuper friendly, even joked with us about the weather. Oslo's def easier to see this way!

Took my parents, both in their 70s, and they had a blast. No stairs to climb, and the driver even helped my dad with his walker. We loved the Kon-Tiki stop! Btw, free Wi-Fi actually worked (surprised me). Would recommend esp for older folks.

Did this right after our cruise docked. Bus was waiting and staff helped us with our (heavy) bags. Loved being able to hit the major museums without dealing with taxis. Highly recommend if you’ve got luggage.
