This is awful
This is the worst service ever. There were 3 Red Sightseeing buses come by waiting for the City Sightseeing bus. In order to hear about where we were and information about the area didn’t work. So we got NO commentary about the city. I travel a lot and I enjoy the HO HO bus, but I will NEVER EVER EVER use the bus company again
Response from the operator: Dear Diana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to learn that your experience with City Sightseeing Stockholm did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologise for the long wait and for the inconvenience caused by seeing other sightseeing buses arrive while you were waiting for ours. We also regret that the audio commentary was not working during your journey. We understand that the commentary is an essential part of a hop-on hop-off tour, and we appreciate how disappointing it must have been to miss the information about Stockholm's landmarks and history. Your comments have been shared with our local operations team so they can review both the reliability of the audio system and the overall service provided. Feedback such as yours is invaluable in helping us identify areas where improvements are needed. We are genuinely sorry that this experience has left you with such a negative impression. Although we regret that we did not provide the level of service you expected, we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and hope we will have the opportunity to restore your confidence in City Sightseeing in the future. Kind regards, The City Sightseeing Team

Wish we’d read reviews before hand
Have done these hop on hop off tours in many towns and cities world wide and never experienced anything like it. Waiting an hour for a bus outside the ABBA museum and when it came it was very full standing room only. The driver kept packing folk in at subsequent stops. I had to stand the whole way back to stop 1. Very unpleasant and frankly unsafe. Was unable to listen to commentary due to no seats. Terrible

Meh
Average bus. For planning purposes give you self over and 1.5 hours to get back. The bus get bunched up and the take 30 Minutes breaks at certain stops. We ended up biking back to the cruise in order to make it back on time

Terrible customer service when things go wrong
On the 26/6/26 we were on a cruise and booked a hop on hop off boat for Stockholm. At the 2nd stop the boat broke down and had to make an unscheduled stop and everyone was offloaded. We were given no information about a replacement. We contacted city sightseeing for a full refund and they do not acknowledge or reply, even after sending several reminder requests. Terrible customer service and I don’t know where they get their claimed 4.5* reviews. Stay clear, untrustworthy

Good but slow
The tour is a good way to see the city. Unfortunately it was very difficult to know where and when pick up times were for each stop and the wait for the next bus was nearly an hour.

We are pleased to hear that you found our hop-on hop-off bus tour of Stockholm to be a good way to discover the city.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm 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 Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Stockholm is not rushed.
Is City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus 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 284 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus?
+
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 Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus?
+
Around 99 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-On Hop-Off Bus 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. 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 Stockholm?
+
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 Stockholm?
+
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.
