An inexpensive way to get the lay of the land around Reykjavik - I arrived in Reykjavik 30 hours in advance of a Quark polar expedition into Greenland’s west coast, and immediately upon checking into my hotel I sought out the City Sightseeing Reykjavik Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. Well with my price range, I figured it would be a great way to see the highs and lows of Reykjavik. I bought my ticket online through Viator, and the process of boarding was without a hitch. First stop – the big church on the hill, was crowded with tourists, and I was very glad to remain on board. This actually was close to the end of the tour, as we shortly headed for BSI, the main bus terminal which to me seemed like the logical ending and starting place for an on-off tour. From there we headed high up into the city, on winding and steep roads that spoke directly to the way Reykjavik was founded. The views were stunning, and we got to see local neighborhoods in between the marquee kinds of attractions – like Perlan, the Pearl. I stayed on the bus for its entire cycle, getting a sense of direction and development. But after passing Perlan and hearing about its purpose and functions, I knew I would be spending my afternoon there. All things considered, this was a great way to see the big picture of Reykjavík, and also explore one particular attraction. Once I completed my tour of Perlan, I waited about 10 minutes for the bus to take me back near to my hotel. Seamless, without problems, and very enjoyable.

Day in Reykjavik - We were in Reykjavik for 2 days as part of a cruise holiday and decided the hop on off bus would be a good way to get around.The day we went it was raining quite heavily and we waited quite a while at the first stop to get on.The bus tour takes about an hour and 15 minutes to go the whole circuit and we stayed on to see where we wanted to explore.Some of the stops are on what seems like an industrial estate but there are museums and places of interest there.Overall a good day out apart from the weather.If you need a toilet try and use one in a cafe as the private one my husband used cost £1.20 !! You don't need cash as cards are used everywhere even for small purchases.

A great way to see the city - There aren't that many stops, and we had to wait a bit for the next bus to show up. My earbuds crackled a lot but that was ok because I was enjoying the sights as we drove. We did the 24 hour and really didn't get to use it much because we had a whale watching expedition in the morning. But we got where we wanted to go and saw what we wanted to see. We love taking HOHO buses when we first get to a city we've never been to. It's a great way to see the city. The map provided proved to be helpful when walking around, too.

Mixed experience - Plenty of buses arrived in the morning, Buses were running approximately every 15 minutes. In the afternoon, buses were running every 45 minutes, making planning stops difficult. Maintenance is needed to remove earphone adapters that are broken off in several jacks on all 4 busses I used. . Mush of the audio was clear and interesting.

Take a taxi, not this bus - We expected a narrated tour of the city. It was not. We had left our luggage in the bus depot lockers, and were planning to use your service to go to the cru8se. We weren't allowed to do that. The driver said it was because the bags had rollers l. We could have laid the bags on their sides. All in all, your service was way too expensive for the very limited service we received.

Not worth the time and expense. - Do not really see or learn that much from this Hop on Hop off bus. Waited at 1 stop (Stop #4) only to watch the bus go directly past us without even slowing down much less stopping for the 4 of us waiting. Generally use City Sightseeing HOHO buses in most cities we visit to gain an overview of the area and its attractions. This one is the worst of the bunch.

Not worth it. - The wait time for buses are too far apart… we would not waste our money again. Much better just to use the city buses.

Just a Bad Day? - We had prepurchased our tickets expecting easy hop on, hop off service. 1st driver complained about credit card reader not working the whole time and let people on paying with any type of currency. He repeatedly stated he doesn't care anymore, it is (boss's) problem. At second stop, our bus to take on all the passengers from another bus because it had some sort of problem. It took us an hour to go 4 stops. After visiting the National Museum, we found ourselves on an overloaded bus, that continued taking on passengers. We ended up getting off at stop 9 and just walking the 3/4 of a mile to the cruise line shuttle stop. I don't know if this is the norn, or just a bad day.

Waited 75 minutes at one bus stop. - Initially okay, until we got off the bus. With 8 other people we waited 75 minutes until the next bus turned up. Through the QR code we were able to locate the other 5 buses.. all close together on the other side of the tour map. Will not use again.
