Review Stockholm’s hop-on hop-off bus tour, with stops at the Vasa Museum, Gamla Stan, Skansen, cruise terminals, and more.

“It started out great, everything was wonderful. they tell you the last bus leaves stop #8 at 2:30pm so you can be back to the cruise terminal in time. What they don't tell you is the buses stop running at 1:30pm. We were waiting a stop #3 for over 30 minutes waiting for a bus and all of them were stopping at #1 and not moving, so we ended up taking a taxi to #7 and walking to #8 (cutting down on the cost) just to make it in time. So watch your time and double check with the drivers about catching the bus to go back to the cruise…”
