Gothenburg: Land & Water Amphibious Bus Sightseeing Tour

1. Gothenburg: Land & Water Amphibious Bus Sightseeing Tour

Experience sightseeing with a splash during an amphibious bus tour of Gothenburg. Pass by the main highlights like Fish Church, Poseidon, Liseberg, and more while hearing about the history and culture of the city from your guide. Start the tour at Stora Teatern - a musical and theater building in the city center - where you will board the bus. Then, set off through central Gothenburg passing sights like Avenyn, Poseidon, Liseberg, Ullevi, and the Fish Church. As the surface beneath changes, the real fun begins and it is time for the bus to get wet. Hold on to your phones and cameras and prepare for some butterflies in your stomach as the 10-ton bus transforms into an amphibious boat and enters the river. Listen as the music gets louder and a big splash of water hits the windscreen. Before you know it, you're floating. After a couple of minutes of cruising on the water, the guide will give some additional info about how the bus works.  From the water, get a great view of the city and see big ships leaving and entering the city. After about 20 minutes in the water, head back to the pickup point passing some more incredible sights on the way.

We had a great experience with Jasper as a tour guide and Joaquim as the driver. The stories and background were interesting and very entertaining. The music in between stories was great too. The audio was very clear throughout, even to me (I’m quite hard of hearing, so sorry if I got anyone’s name wrong above). Would definitely recommend this, it was a real highlight of the trip.

This was a great experience, went with my grandson who is 14 years old and he also thought it was great!! The guide who told the story during the trip was really good and funny, there were a lot of good laughs, only have positive things to say!!!

Absolutely brilliant and fun tour, with knowledgeable and entertaining staff. Definitely worth doing.

Great way to tour the city, and see things from the water you can't see from land.

Fun tour of the city and harbor! Definitely recommend.
