Oslo's city-sightseeing, hop-on, hop-off bus offers 14 stops. The buses have audio-guides in eight languages. One person on the bus stated that theirs did not work but I was unable to determine if the problem was the person operating the audio-guide or the mechanics of the system. The buses also offer free Wi-Fi. You can purchase a 24 or 48 hour pass and a cancellation policy can be activated 24 hours before the buyers date of activation. The 14 stops include stops within the central city and some further out. If you were to ride the entire circuit without getting off it would take about 90 minutes. Waiting times for the next bus can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes. There are 5 buses and you have to change buses to reach all 14 stops. When you change buses the stop for you next bus can be hard to find and often a distance away. The Viking Ship Museum is one of those stops that is further out. There are 3 other museums within a 15 minute walk from the Viking museum including the Kon-Tiki

One big plus: There was a problem with my credit card (not the tours fault). The ticket girl and the driver offered to let me board without a ticket. Nice gesture but I declined because I was afraid of trying to re-board a subsequent bus without a ticket. I called my bank and resolved the credit card problem. Then...... One negative: The earphones on the bus weren't working. And that's one of the main reasons I take these city tours.....to listen to the commentary and learn about the history, trivia, information about the city.

Great way to get around--particularly if you want to get to the Viking Museum and Kon Tiki as they're not close to rest of city. Stops at all the touristy places and saves some walking. I'd do it again.

difficulty finding the stop. driver did not tell us we had to change to another bus. Poor management.
