This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 sweden bus tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to check before you commit.
See Stockholm from its streets and waterways on a 24-hour hop-on hop-off ticket. Choose bus, boat, or both. Audio commentary comes in 10 languages, and the route reaches the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, ABBA The Museum, Skansen, City Hall, Old Town, and more. Boat service pauses in winter when waterways freeze.
“Really nice guide - had a little chat. Have a good trip tomorrow!”
Use a 24 or 72-hour red-and-green bus pass to reach Stockholm’s Royal Palace, Old Town, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, City Hall, and more. An 11-language audio guide, Wi-Fi, wheelchair-accessible buses, and optional boat service make this a practical first look at the city.
“There were other operators using red busses so it was not always clear until you tried to enter the bus, if this was the correct one. The driver soon told you if your ticket was not for his bus. Once on the correct service the driver was very helpful giving information on the next stop number.”
Red Sightseeing’s Stockholm pass combines a hop-on hop-off bus route with a canal boat route. Ride past Gamla stan, the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, Skansen, Fotografiska, and City Hall, then get off where you like. Choose a 24 or 72-hour ticket and use the audio guide in 15 languages.
“Very nice tour once we found the correct bus. The bus we booked the RED Bus tour but there are more Hop On Hop Off bus.”
Ride Stockholm’s red and green double-decker buses on a 24- or 72-hour pass, with stops near Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, City Hall, and cruise terminals. Use the audio guide in 11 languages, hop off at will, and build your own city tour.
“Of all my Hop On bookings this vacation, this was my least favorite. The audio was minimal and the driver drove fast, so hard to get very good photos. It is still the best way to see a city when you have limited time.”
Spend a full day touring Gothenburg by double decker bus and open sightseeing boat. Hear six language audio commentary on the bus and live Swedish or English guiding on the boat, with stops near Avenyn, Liseberg, Haga, Feskekôrka, and the harbor.
“Båten var definitivt best med personlig guide som fortalte om stedene og stoppene. Bussjåføren stoppet ikke slik den sa de skulle på båndet, og visste ikke helt hvor de forskjellige stoppene var. men ellers var begge turene veldig bra.”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
