    (Translated by Google) As a native of Kiel, I found the hop on hop off tour very mediocre! Too little information, e.g. none on the high bridge. Also no reasonable description of the stops. Nothing about shipbuilding, nothing about Geomar... The tape with the announcement is already 2 years old. The Ostseehalle is no longer called the Sparkassen Arena. Tip for tourists: save money and rather go along the Kiellinie and take the Förde ferry. (Original) Die hop on hop off Tour fand ich als geborener Kieler sehr mittelmäßig! Zu wenig Infos, z.B. keine auf der Hochbrücke. Auch keine vernünftige Beschreibung der Haltestellen. Nichts vom Schiffbau, nichts vom Geomar... Das Band mit der Ansage ist auch schon 2 Jahre alt. Die Ostseehalle heißt nicht mehr Sparkassen Arena. Tipp für Touris: Geld sparen und lieber die Kiellinie lang und mit der Förde Fähre fahren.

    This tour is recommended for those who want to see Kiel and have a few hours at their disposal. The tour takes place in several languages, including Norwegian. A bit difficult to find the stops.

    Nette Tour durch Kiel. Der Fahrer war super nett und freundlich. Allerdings sind bei Fb und auf der Homepage widersprüchliche Angaben, bzw. veraltet z.B. Fahrplan oder fährt nur Fr., Sa, So.

    Tour 21.10.20 12 Uhr. Der Fahrer war sehr freundlich und hat uns über alles sehr genau informiert. Stets wurde auf Verkehrssicherheit geachtet, was ja heutzutage nicht mehr üblich ist. Der Bus war sauber und die Sitze bequem. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) We took a short break in Kiel and we also planned a city tour. We weren't thrilled. The first minor shock came with the price, 20 euros per person for an hour. In Dresden, where we live, 1.5 hours cost 17 euros. The next thing we noticed unpleasantly was the cleanliness on board the bus. Okay, unfortunately it is very common for people to leave their rubbish behind, but when the bus takes a break at the start station, the driver can go around and clear away the rubbish. According to the audio guide, the tour should take 1.5 hours, but according to the timetable and reality it was just under 60 minutes. And then there was a bit of Oberhammer, according to the guide we drove past the old town hall, the opera and the handball arena, but we didn't see these objects. When we spoke to the bus driver about it, the answer was that the city center is currently closed. There can always be construction work or other reasons for road closures, but if I offer a service and cannot fully fulfill it, this must also be reflected in the price. We have already done many city tours, also abroad, but we can only say about today's one that the price / performance ratio is right in the smallest way. We cannot recommend the tour. (Original) Wir haben einen Kurzurlaub in Kiel gemacht und auf dem Plan stand auch eine Stadtrundfahrt. Begeistert waren wir nicht. Der erste kleinere Schock kam beim Preis, 20 Euro pro Person für eine Stunde. In Dresden, wo wir wohnen kosten 1,5 Stunden 17 Euro. Das nächste, was uns unangenehm aufgefallen ist, war die Sauberkeit an Bord des Busses. Okay, es ist leider sehr verbreitet, dass die Leute ihren Müll zurück lassen, aber wenn der Bus an der Startstation eine Pause macht, kann der Fahrer auch mal rumgehen und den Müll wegräumen. Laut dem Audioguides sollte die Tour 1,5 Stunden dauern, laut Fahrplan und der Realität waren es aber gerade mal knapp 60 Minuten. Und dann kam so bisschen der Oberhammer, laut Guide sind wir am alten Rathaus, der Oper und der Handballarena vorbei gefahren, nur gesehen haben wir diese Objekte nicht. Als wir den Busfahrer darauf Ansprachen, war die Antwort, dass die Innenstadt momentan gesperrt ist. Baumaßnahmen oder andere Gründe für Strassensperrungen kann es immer geben, aber wenn ich eine Dienstleistung anbiete und nicht voll erfüllen kann, muss sich das auch im Preis zeigen. Wir haben schon viele Stadtrundfahrten gemacht, auch im Ausland, aber zu der heutigen können wir nur sagen, dass das Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis in kleinster Weise stimmt. Weiterempfehlen können wir die Rundfahrt nicht.

    Sehr interessante Stadtrundfahrt. Der Fahrer gab uns viele weitere Informationen und war sehr kompetent und freundlich.

    Wir haben die Tour als eher nicht empfehlenswert empfunden. Das Fahrzeug war eine absolute Zumutung und vor dem Hintergrund des üppigen Preises in unserer Wahrnehmung unverschämt.

    Departure on Friday (04/08) at 12 p.m. from the main train station on the water side. The way you learned it was to get out first. However, this only worked for the driver and only after he opened the left side of the door using the emergency switch above the door. That too only after several attempts. The middle door did not or could not be opened during the entire journey. Guests with strollers had considerable challenges getting in, guests with assistants had no chance of getting on board. Before we even got started, we received a printed plan instead of a flyer. Well, you could say, for the sake of the environment, it's not a problem for me. However, the print or copy should be of higher quality. The colors were faded and the text was not easy to read. We decided to sit downstairs in the back area where it was quite loud. Every start, every automatic shift into the next higher gear could be felt. Connected the headphones and heard announcements. Very good. But only if you held the plug in a certain position. Loose contact. The seat opposite became free, we moved around, plugged in headphones and the same problem. At stop 2 the tape was talking and suddenly everything stopped. The driver was gone for a few minutes and turned everything off. As we drove on, we heard announcements of city villas and other things. Completely wrong order. When it was set correctly again, the driver spoke first in English and then in German, neither of which was understandable, but loud, which meant that the announcement on the tape could no longer be understood. We didn't want to get out because the waiting times for the next bus of up to 75 minutes were too long for us. I think the tours could really be made more attractive. Live announcements will not be possible due to the many languages, but you may want to spice up the announcements. Upgrade the obviously outdated buses and, above all, repair non-functioning doors and connections. The points of interest we drove to were ok and there were places we wouldn't have seen. Only the background information was missing. Kiel is not Hamburg, Copenhagen or Berlin, but the journey still took up to 90 minutes due to (unnecessary?) stopping times. All in all, I thought the price paid was a bit too high. I wish the company a good future and many satisfied guests.

    For what is marketed a "hop on hop off" bus tour we didn't have any opportunity to do so. We planned a full day, we got on the first bus and planned which stops we would get off, which busses we would take, but we couldn't get off anywhere. Sadly very disappointed.

  • 1/5 giorgia b. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Avoid! The driver, who still has plenty of seats available, doesn't let us on, saying that the bus is full, reassuring us that a new bus would arrive within 20 minutes... the colleague who sells tickets at the stop tells everyone that the next bus would be arrived in 15/20 minutes, in order to sell more tickets!! Result? The next bus arrived after 90 minutes, not all of the headphones worked and we lost a morning standing at the stop waiting. Obviously the assistance.....useless! They write that they want to improve... But they continue to have many unhappy customers.

    Totally avoidable, expensive and a good part of the route passes through industrial estates, I did not stop in the center which is the only thing worth it, the buttons to request a stop did not work

  • 5/5 Kther N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It was wonderful! The weather was good, so that Kiel shone beautifully colorful and autumnal! Unfortunately just too much traffic! (Original) Es war wunderschön! Das Wetter hat gut mitgespielt, sodass Kiel wunderschön bunt und herbstlich leuchtete! Leider nur zu viel Verkehr!

  • 4/5 Rene G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The tour is very nice, but we had difficulties finding the stop. Maybe a few additional billboards or the nice promoter spend a parasol on the bike. You can see that a little further and the lady has some shade. (Original) Die Tour ist sehr schön, allerdings hatten wir Schwierigkeiten, die Haltestelle zu finden. Vielleicht ein paar zusätzliche Hinweistafeln oder der netten Promoterin einen Sonnenschirm am Fahrrad spendieren. Das sieht man etwas weiter und die Dame hat etwas Schatten.

    (Translated by Google) Certainly a nice way to get to know the most interesting sites in Kiel. For 20 € / person but unfortunately you see very little. Maybe there is not more in Kiel? But elsewhere you get to see more in comparison or agrees the price-performance ratio. much more. The sightseeing typical double-decker buses are probably a bit old. In addition, there was always the garbage of guests around. Nobody goes here fix the bus before new guests come? We should leave 16h. According to the saleswoman, the driver insisted on a half-hour break, so we left at around 16.15. Have not the breaks been packed into the daily schedule? Funny... (Original) Sicherlich eine schöne Variante die sehenswertesten Seiten Kiels kennenzulernen. Für 20€/Person sieht man aber leider sehr wenig. Vielleicht bietet sich in Kiel auch nicht mehr? Aber woanders bekommt man im Vergleich mehr zu sehen bzw. stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. deutlich mehr. Die dem Sightseeing typischen Doppeldecker-Busse sind wohl etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Noch dazu lag überall der Müll von Gästen zuvor herum. Geht hier niemand mal fix durch den Bus bevor neue Gäste kommen? Wir sollten 16Uhr abfahren. Laut der Verkäuferin bestand der Fahrer auf eine halbstündige Pause, sodass wir gegen 16.15Uhr losfuhren. Sind die Pausen nicht im Tagesplan eingetacktet? Komisch...

    (Translated by Google) 20 euros far too expensive for an hour's drive. The travel companion spoke only very poor English. The audio guide consisted of 60% Musil which is probably due to the fact that there is not much to see in Kiel. In addition, it is also outdated. He says, for example, that you might carry a Kiel monument with you. This is printed on a mark bill. (Original) 20 euro viel zu teuer für eine Stunde Fahrt. Der Reisebegleiter sprach nur sehr schlecht Englisch. Der Audioguide bestand zu 60% aus Musil was wohl auch dem geschuldet ist, dass es in Kiel nicht viel zu sehen gibtm Zudem ist er auch noch veraltet. Er sagt beispielsweise, dass man möglicherweise ein Denkmal Kiels mit sich herumträgt. Das ist nämlich auf einen Mark-Schein gedruckt.

    (Translated by Google) Had booked yesterday for the night tour from 23:00 to 00:30. Before and after small starter and nightcap on Deck8 in the Atlantic. We really do not do that often ... so something very special. The crew was in a great mood and the regional knowledge of our spokesman was remarkably comprehensive, both historically and related to the respective commercial and construction monuments. Very interesting and above all, the ticket is available 24 hours, i. You can even go back to sleep by day ... Think about tips ... the trip is worth it! 😊 (Original) Hatten gestern für die Nacht-Tour von 23:00 bis 00:30 gebucht. Vorher und hinterher kleiner Starter und Absacker auf Deck8 im Atlantic. Machen wir ja wirklich nicht so oft...also etwas ganz besonderes. Die Crew war super drauf und die regionalen Kenntnisse unseres Sprechers waren bemerkenswert umfassend., sowohl historisch, als auch auf die jeweiligen Gewerbe und Bau-Denkmäler bezogen. Sehr sehr interessant und vor allem ist das Ticket 24-Stunden nutzbar, d.h. Du kannst sogar nach dem Ausschlafen nochmal bei Tag los... Denk an Trinkgeld...der Trip ist es wert! 😊

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately not worth it. With the normal bus you can explore the area more and cheaper. You hardly understand what the driver is saying. It is also uncertain whether the bus will ever come again. Not recommendable. (Original) Lohnt sich leider nicht. Mit dem normalen Linienbus kann man mehr und günstiger die Umgebung erkunden. Was der Fahrer erzählt versteht man kaum. Unsicher ist auch, ob der Bus überhaupt nochmal kommt. Nicht zu empfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) We drove to 8 different stations. The band was informed via headphones and also via loudspeakers from the bus driver. To get a first overview, we found the city tour well. The bus driver was very nice! The cost of 20 € per person is, I think, now normal or even more expensive (for example, Cuxhaven). (Original) Wir haben 8 verschiedene Stationen angefahren. Informiert wurde vom Band über Kopfhörer und zusätzlich über Lautsprecher vom Busfahrer. Um einen ersten Überblick zu bekommen, fanden wir die Stadtrundfahrt gut. Der Busfahrer war sehr nett! Die Kosten von 20€ pro Person ist, denke ich, mittlerweile normal oder sogar noch teurer (z.B. Cuxhaven).
