City Sightseeing: Oslo Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

Overall, the tour met my expectations. The commentary is generated by AI and is informative, even if the pronunciation isn’t quite correct in some places. However, this is pointed out before the tour begins, as the system is still in its learning phase. We were in Oslo with Mein Schiff and booked the tour online ourselves rather than through the ship. That worked out without any problems. Another positive aspect was that the bus picked us up right at the port during our layover, making boarding very convenient. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. One minor criticism is that in some buses, the volume of the announcements was a bit too low compared to the engine noise. Additionally, in one bus, water occasionally dripped in through the skylights when it rained. Overall, the vehicles were fine, even though one of the buses was clearly showing its age. The other buses looked well-maintained. All in all, a good tour that delivers what you’d expect from a city tour like this.

I used a "hop on hop off" service for the first time although I saw similar services in many cities I visited. I learned It an easy and convenient way visit many sightseeing places. I will use it often in the future.
