Good!
We enjoyed riding bus for full route overview, then got off where we wanted. I had printed voucher w/barcode so we could get on bus anywhere along the route. We could not always hear driver announce the stops, but it was still nice. We followed the live map which was helpful.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review, Gaylene! We are happy to hear you enjoyed riding our City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour for the full route overview first and then hopping off where you wanted. That's the best way to experience it! Thank you for also mentioning how easy it was with your printed voucher with barcode to hop on anywhere along the route, and that you found the live map helpful to follow. We apologize that you could not always hear the driver announce the stops, and we have passed your comment to our local team in Bergen to improve the announcements on board. Thanks again for choosing us and we hope to see you back in Bergen soon! 🙂 City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour Team

Average
You get what you pay for. The narration worked sporadically, and when it did work, it often did not seem to correspond with where we actually were on the route. We were told buses would arrive approximately every 30 minutes, but that was not our experience. At one point, after waiting for a bus, we checked the app and could see three buses sitting together at a central pickup location. That rather defeats the purpose of a hop on, hop off service. Overall, the service was unreliable and made it difficult to use the bus as intended for sightseeing around Bergen.
Response from the operator: Thank you Claire for your review "Average" for City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour and for explaining in detail what happened on our bus. We are sorry to hear that you found our bus service unreliable and that it made it difficult to use it for sightseeing around Bergen as intended. We understand how frustrating it is to wait when you are told a bus will arrive every 30 minutes and then see on the app that three buses are sitting together at a central pickup point. That is not the hop-on hop-off operation we want to offer. Thank you for your feedback, it helps us improve our bus service. Team City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Thank you for choosing City Sightseeing Bergen and we hope to welcome you on board again very soon. Kind regards, Team City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Not worth the money
It was really hard to find the drop off and pickup locations. It was also really not worth buying in Bergen. They do a circle around the harbor. Not worth stopping at the stops. There is nothing there. We usually book these internationally because it’s nice to get off your feet for a few and listen to the tours. However this one was a waste of money.

City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.
Is City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 0.9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bergen?
+
On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, City Walking Tour - Bergen On Foot, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bergen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bergen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City Sightseeing Bergen Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?
