    I don’t recommend their services. First we were cheated by their employee, who told us that the bus trip ticket costs 25EUR - it turned out in bus that it costs 30EUR (and amount on ticket is 350SEK). Lots of people confirmed the same scam experience. During the day, bus skipped half of its road and driver took us straight from the city to harbor, without letting anyone out of the bus, so the vast majority of people lost their chance to enjoy sightseeing in Stockholm.

    I did this tour Friday the 4th and I quite enjoyed it. I bought my ticket at a different stop I boarded from as the seller was kind enough to tell me I would get in earlier at that stop (it was 10am) and I could see from almost the start as his stop was halfway through. There are plenty of stops to get on and off and I had no issues with waiting more than 20 minutes each time. Audio worked well on all buses.

    I joined the royal bridges and canal cruise, it was a great and chilling experience sailing along the coast of central Stockholm, audio provides informative detail about the history and tourist attractions along the coast, it was all good, I would recommend it.

    Such a wonderful tour, even in the cold winter day, it was so cozy, warm and beautiful. At 15.00 was the perfect time to catch the pink sunset, and get some awesome photos! Robert, the tour guide was excellent, both funny and entertaining and I found out more about the Swedish history than from any museum. We got offered some Swedish fika, even vegan and gluten free options. Overall, 10/10 and definitely a perfect choice for a date))

    Benedict was very friendly and helpful! He gave us a great deal for the hop on hop off bus and boat tours for 3 days. We enjoyed every second of the tours and the buses/boats were great methods of transportation around the city too. If you are vacationing in Stockholm this is the best way to see the city. Highly recommend!!!

    Our guide Robert was very entertaining and provided us interesting information about Stockholm and Sweden and gave us insight of swedish humour. It was very good choice to discover Stockholm from water with Robert and rest of the crew.

    So happy we booked both the bus and boat to see Stockholm. Boat was incredible...definitely recommend the 3pm time slot in Winter as you will get an amazing sunset over the city (weather dependant obviously). Robert our boat guide was hilarious and definitely added to the appeal. For the bus...recommend downloading the app...helpful to know where the stops are and when the bus is arriving. Overall, a great and easy way to see Stockholm.

    Beautiful view, Beautiful tour guide, very well done. Highly recommend going there at 15:00 during winter time. You'll start leaving during the time where its still bright outside, half way through sunset and then arrive when it's dark and cozy with all the pretty lights on, inside the boat and the city. They have fika with brilliant tea options and coffee, even have a vegan and gluten free option as well! Robert, being your friendly tour guide is a very nice young man with such potential Overall 11/10 Perfect and a very cute place for a date

    What an absolutely appalling business. 1st off, we could not find the pick-up points anywhere! Staff are rude, from the disgusting attitude at the ticket booth on the docks, the aggressive male that came on to check tickets. We we're piled onto the boat that was so damn overcrowded that if that boat sunk, we'd all drown! I can not recommend this tour to anyone, ever. I sincerely hope your business goes broke for paying customers benefits.

    We have now literally been waiting more than 45 minutes for a bus to arrive at Skansen. Buses don’t follow the routes, skip stations (confirmed by observing real time locations in the app), leaving us stranded here. Once on the bus, it was overcrowded with people sitting/standing anywhere they can. Ridiculous! Open Top Tours and Stromma’s tour buses have already been past Skansen 3 times. Only the boat ride was nice. Don’t waste your money.

    That was an amazing trip with all information about Stockholm, its history, art and much more. Our guide was Robert Melwitz who presented it in a very informative, clear and playful way. I advise you this tour which will make your day and give you the opportunity to know more about Stockholm.

    DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY! ITS A TOTAL SCAM! It ruined my whole experience. I preferred to walk than to wait for the bus. It usually took more than hour, buses were FULL, there was no customer service whatsoever, they finished the routes way before the hour and would not even respect the ones on board. We were dropped in a random stop because the driver didn't want to finish the route. When we complained, we got scolded by the drivers manager. OMG! I have traveled the world with hop-on hop off buses and after this, I am not doing it again,. Don't consider RED BUSED FOR ANY SIGHTSEEING TOUR!

    There was no instruction on how to operate the info box. All we heard was music for half the trip (30 minutes) until while fiddling we figured out how to play the information. They should have instructed how to operate it before the tour started. We’ve been on these all over Europe and this is by far the worst tour we have ever been on. The driver couldn’t have been bothered when asking how to work the info box. If you want to your Stockholm, find a different company or do it yourself. Honestly, doing it yourself would be way better than being dismissed and ignored by staff

    The tour was very good and pleasant. Free hot beverages to help with December weather. Roberto was the guide and he was amazing with details and being very entertaining. The only thing to improve is that the toilet of the ship was out of order that day. Overall an excellent service!

    We had the royal bridges and canal boat tour, that really inspired us to visit locations we had not on our list. Everybody was friendly and we really relaxed during this tour after a long day in the city. Everybody has been very friendly.

    Best tours in Stockholm! Make sure you get the Redsightseeing one, and not the Stromma one. They're both red. Great captains and friendly bus drivers. I can really recommend the Royal Bridges Canal Tour. Seeing Stockholm by boat is beautiful.

    Great day in Stockholm. Both the bus and the boat were well run. Emil was very helpful. They even brought the bus to Nynashamn where Carnival Pride docked, about 45 kilometers from Stockholm. Will definitely use them again.

    IK and the team at Red did an amazing job getting us coordinated for a wonderful tour through the canal. The captain was great as well waiting a few extra minutes before our entire team arrived. Highly recommend this tour.

    The tour is not as informative as hoped, but at least we saw a lot of the city. The tour stops are barely marked and could not find an updated map for the stops. Kind of lost the meaning of an easy sightseeing with my relatively who cannot walk long, as we were walking for a good while trying to locate a stop we could hop on at. Also there is an identical bus tour riding the exact same streets that is also a red double decker. Definitely mixed up these two and tried to ride the wrong one, called City Sightseeing.

  • 4/5 NS G. 4 years ago on Google
    69 euros for adults , free for kids ( this is the price that includes the 1 hour transfer from Nynashamn port) but it’s worth it as it includes bus and boat rides. 20 stops and it takes two hours for bus and one hour for boat. Highly recommended for sightseeing for families with children. Includes free walking tour audio guide that you can download from Apple store. Be careful with stop 10 and 12. The bus doesn’t stop exactly at the Hop on And Off sign!! Eventually we missed it and had to pay taxi to get back to number 2 stop to catch another bus back on time!

  • 1/5 Markus K. 7 months ago on Google
    Zum Start eine halbe Stunde gewartet bis die Tour losging. Davon allein 15 Minuten bis jemand zum Kassieren vorbeikam. Bei der Bootstour ging das Drama dann weiter, wieder eine Dreiviertelstunde Wartezeit bis ein Boot kam, während beim Mitbewerber im 15 Minuten-Takt die Bootstouren starteten. Auch zum Ende der Tour wurden einige Stationen ausgelassen, obwohl zur Abfahrt unseres Schiffes noch genügend Zeit war. Alles sehr ärgerlich wenn einem nur wenig Zeit bleibt eine Stadt zu besichtigen, deshalb nur 1 Stern. Die Organisation war eine Katastrophe.

  • 1/5 Merci 2. 7 months ago on Google
    Leider muss ich einen Stern vergeben. Aber verdient ist der nicht! Wir kamen zur Tour durch die Kreuzfahrt. Es stehen genügend Busse für die Touristen da. Ab da nahm es seinen negativen Verlauf . Die Abfahrt dauerte ganze 40 Minuten. Nur weil zwei Personen von Bus zu Bus springen und die Tickets buchen. Die Tour mag vielleicht gut gedacht sein, aber die Umsetzung ist miserabel. Wir sind irgendwann an einer Station wieder eingestiegen wo es nur noch darum ging jede Lücke zu füllen. Die Kopfhörer waren da leider für'n A...... Stationen wurden mal angesagt, mal aber auch nicht oder sogar überfahren/ übersprungen. Ende vom Lied : für 3 Personen fast 72€ bezahlt, vier Stationen gefahren und letztendlich mussten wir ein Taxi nehmen,weil alle Busse völlig überfüllt waren, so das mehrere Busse einfach vorbei gefahren sind und wir nur noch eine halbe Stunde Zeit hatten um an den Terminal zurück zu kommen. Absolute Frechheit und Zumutung.

  • 1/5 Philipp D. 7 months ago on Google
    Nie wieder Red Sightseeing Bus Stockholm ! Achtung! Finger weg, wer einen entspannten Urlaub möchte! Wir sind mit der Aida (10.08.23/ 11.08.23) für einen zweitägigen Aufenthalt nach Stockholm gereist und hielten es für eine gute Idee, Tickets für eine Hop-on/ Hop-off Bustour mit dem größten Anbieter „Redsightseeing“ zu buchen. Dies stellte sich sehr schnell als absoluter Reinfall heraus! Hier für ungeduldige Leser eine kurze Zusammenfassung: Wir haben an den zwei Tagen Ewigkeiten gewartet (mehr als 2,5 Stunden), um einen Bus zu erwischen. Man konnte von Glück reden, wenn überhaupt ein Bus vorbei gefahren ist! Die wenigen Busse die dann kamen, waren dermaßen überfüllt, dass es unmöglich war, einen Sitzplatz zu bekommen (siehe Bild). In einem der Hop on Boote, in dem wir gefahren sind, gingen mehr als die Hälfte der Audioguides nicht(siehe Bilder). Alles in allem eine absolut katastrophale Organisation. Nun die ausführlichere Schilderung: Am ersten Tag war der erste Bus, auf den wir nicht hätten warten müssen, komplett voll. Ein freundlicher Mitarbeiter sagte zu uns, dass der nächste Bus in 20 Minuten kommt und wir mit dem fahren sollen. Nach 50 Minuten Wartezeit, kam dann endlich der 2. Bus, jedoch ebenfalls völlig überfüllt. Der Busfahrer hat niemanden mehr reingelassen. Durch Beschwerden und Diskussionen mehrerer, wartender Personen, lies er schließlich doch noch wenige Personen einsteigen. Wir hatten Glück mitgenommen zu werden. Anstatt dass es nun endlich los gehen konnte, fuhr der Fahrer 50 m über den Parkplatz, hielt dort an und machte 20 min Pause. Wir fuhren nach einer quälenden Ewigkeit los und stellten fest, dass unser Bus ständig länger an Haltestellen hielt als andere. Die Rückfahrt zum Schiff verlief relativ unkompliziert. Am 2. Tag wollten wir unsere Hop on/ Hop off Tour via Boot starten. Hier startete der Tag ähnlich wie der vorherige. Das erste Boot war völlig überfüllt, sodass wir auf das 2. warten mussten. Dieses kam nach ca. 45 Minuten Wartezeit. Dort eingestiegen, mussten wir feststellen, dass über die Hälfte der Audioguides gesperrt/ kaputt waren. Diese waren mit rotem Klebeband bereits abgeklebt. Wir stiegen dann auf den Bus um, auf den wir, wer hätte es gedacht, wieder Ewigkeiten warten mussten. Es war auf Grund von Baustellen, ein Haltepunkt gesperrt bzw. auf eine andere Straße verlegt. Wir trafen an der ursprünglichen Haltestelle eine Mitarbeiterin an. Sie teilte uns mit, dass die Haltestelle nicht angefahren wird, konnte uns jedoch nicht weiterhelfen, wo sich schließlich die Ersatzhaltestelle befindet. Sie sagte uns lediglich, dass der Bus an einer anderen Haltestelle hält. Ein weiterer schickte uns in die falsche Richtung. Letztendlich sind wir sehr viel gelaufen um weitere Wartezeiten zu sparen. Wir haben uns sehr geärgert, so viel Geld ausgegeben zu haben und letztendlich doch fast alles per Fuß laufen mussten! Auf der Rückfahrt zum Schiff, planten wir auf Grund der bisher vorgefallenen Ereignisse, besonders viel Zeit ein, was letztendlich auch gut war, denn auch hier warteten wir sehr sehr lange, bis endlich mal ein Bus kam. Wir konnten während der Wartezeit beobachten, dass mindestens 6 Busse der selben Firma in die andere Richtung fuhren. In unsere Richtung kam dann lediglich 1 Bus nach 55 Minuten Wartezeit, weitere waren auf der App nicht in Sicht. Der Bus war dann natürlich ebenfalls stark frequentiert, sodass auch keine Sicherheit mehr geboten war und alle wie die Sardinen gequetscht im Bus standen. Hinzu kommt, dass die „aktuellen“ GPS Daten in der App nicht funktionieren. Die Tacktung der Busse ist nicht akzeptabel, die Anzahl und Frequentierung der Busse ist den Besucherströmen nicht angepasst. Wir haben uns mit anderen wartenden Kunden unterhalten, die sich ebenfalls sehr darüber geärgert haben. Als mildernden Umstand bzw. als Entgegenkommen, möchte ich erwähnen, dass uns, nach einer Beschwerde beim Anbieter „GerYourGuide“, die Hälfte des Preises durch Red Sightseeing Bus Stockholm erstattet wurde. Eine komplette Erstattung kommt nach einer Prüfung nicht in Frage.

  • 5/5 Charles Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, good routes, good prices, easy on/off, buy online and exchange voucher for passes on any bus, any stop. Combined with boat tour very good value, same pass, designated boarding stop. Some boats also hop on/hop off. Booked for 4 cities, 2 down 2 to go, looking forward. Comparing with fellow passengers on cruiseship tours Red Bus rocks! Audio has worked well on every bus and boat so far, in a dozen languages.

  • 2/5 Chris De W. 8 months ago on Google
    Photo shows what a bus looks like on a Thursday 15:30. People of 70+ left to stand. Skip this, skip the green company too

  • 5/5 A B. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a great experience with this hop-on, hop-off location, both on land by bus and by water on the boats. The times were reliable and consistent with what was shown on the live-tracking website, and I never felt like I had to wait long. The personnel were friendly and assisted me with taking my large baby buggy on and off the boats. I appreciated the audio even if it was limited at times, and enjoyed being able to see Stockholm and parts of some of its neighborhoods from both land and "sea". Highly recommended especially if you've already purchased the Stockholm Pass, as admission is included.

  • 4/5 Tiara B. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mandalari A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great way to see the city! The bus connects all of the main spots and is incredibly easy and straightforward to use. The guiding in italian was spot on!

  • 5/5 Mazen B. 1 year ago on Google
    There are only 4 busses on the route. The promise of every 15 to 20 minute a bus is absolute lie. It only operate until 16:00 which mean you can only use it once. Since once you hop off to visit something you will probably spend some hours. Book in Redsightseeing, the have more busses every 10 minutes and they operate till later time 18:00

  • 2/5 Herman K. 1 year ago on Google
    We took the boat 1hour tour. Boat was in great condition with complementary drinks etc. The guide was poor though, he shared very little information about Stockholm and the history of the city. He also complained a lot about Swedish systems. In general it is nice to see the city from the water but do not expect to learn anything about the city from the guide.

  • 2/5 Christian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Naja. We paid around 750kr for two children, two adults. The dog was allowed, which was good for us. The staff and driver were friendly. However we all found the Tour Audio quite boring. We make these hop tours in basically every city we visit, so that we get a first good impression of what to visit - this one was the most „exciteless“ - we usually enjoy the input overflow in these busses and love to compare afterwards who remembers which piece of information- here, this was super rare - the audio guide does really not even the essentials - so better take a walk or the regular transportation with a traditional guide or Wikipedia

    Amazing Winterwaterways Tour from Red Sightseeing! The tour includes coffee and a as many cookies as you want on board. The crew was very welcoming and the guide Robert super knowledgeable. Very recommended if you are in Stockholm! Tack så jättemycket! ❄️👌🏼👏🏾
