My wife and I were on a Baltic cruise and many cities were served by Stromma City Sightseeing buses. I spotted on the Stromma website that if you are doing multiple tours in different cities, if you keep your tickets, hand three tour tickets over and you get the fourth for free. So we paid for tickets (all bought online before leaving home at a discounted rate) for Oslo, Helsinki and Stockholm and got the fourth tour (in Copenhagen) for free, which meant the relatively high price of the tickets became much more reasonable. The down side to using these buses is that you often lose time in your day waiting for the next bus, some of the services finish mid-afternoon, and to be honest you often have to get off the bus and walk to see the cities properly, but as a means of getting a flavour of a new city they are a handy way of getting an orientation and seeing some highlights. If we have time we usually do a complete circuit on the bus and then use the second circuit to get off at a few p

Having done numerous red bus tours around the world we were looking forward to seeing Oslo in this way. However, this trip was horrendous and doesn’t even warrant a one star rating. The buses were so overcrowded that my eight month old grandson got smacked in the face twice by people and their bags! My pregnant daughter had the rear doors shut on her twice and we all got pushed and shoved around. As for hearing the talk with the headphones, well that was impossible as there was no where to plug them in! We actually gave up on this tour and had to find our own way back to our starting point. The overcrowding on these buses were downright dangerous! I do not expect my grandson and daughter to be physically injured because of a tour!

What a waste of money this tour is.... Oslo is so small that we may have well have walked the area. And taken bus 30 to all the museums. The bus driver if one of the 2 buses that were touring this day was really not enjoying his work; grumpy to the max. The lady on the other bus was very cheerful. Still; save the bucks and huge your own 2 feet!

Nice way to see the city. Appears to have hit all the highlights. Recorded audio was very informative, and useful.

Firstly the tour bus stops around Oslo are very difficult to find. When we spotted a bus, we just walked in that direction. And still were dumb-founded - no visible bus stop. Finally caught up with a stationery bus only to be confronted by a very rude young man. To him I say - If you don't like PR jobs, go work in a warehouse! Very disappointing welcome to Norway. We didn't take the tour, so no idea whether it's worth the time/money.
