“We enjoyed this very much but were a bit disappointed when we arrived at 9:40am and although there was a bus at the stop, we had to wait for another. Not sure why, but it caused us to depart the tour early at the end of the day. A bit too much waiting at stops. Drivers were OK but not as friendly as I expected! Oh well, still a wonderful way to see the city!!!”

Guide Christopher introduced himself and outlined the program for the day. Although the full trip was 7.5 hours in duration there was great variety and plenty of rest stops. Christopher was amazingly relaxed and informative. The visits were great.”

“The Hop On Hop Off bus was excellent. The only feedback is that we were in Stavanger for the day on a cruise ship with 3500 passengers and the buses weren’t frequent enough. We prepaid our tickets with the expectation not to have to join a queue behind people paying on the day and had to wait 1/2 hour for next bus to depart. Maybe frequency should have been every 15 minutes”

“We were told we had to go to the cruise terminal to get a ticket. We got there and the driver didn’t have tickets just told us to get on. It was full so we wanted to wait for the next one but there’s only 1 bus. The route doesn’t match the map. And the driver calls out numbers that don’t match the location. Must be a new thing for Bergen as it’s not as good a service as in other cities.”
