Possibility to change lines and suitable connection points. We started from red line (more Historical), after that jumped to Yellow line and finished with Green line - it was close to Autobus station.

The Hop on Hop off bus is a fantastic way to see the city sights when you don't have a lot of time and you want to cover a lot of ground! It's also very relaxing to be driven around sitting on top in the open air. Great experience!

The problem of the being left to find a way back because of whst was happening at the cathedral that afternoon. Lucky we got back to the stop at the Dumo in a quick time to have one help us find a way to get back to Centrale.

The tour was relaxed. Not too fast. When the bus was busy with people pushing in to the queue we waited for 2nd bus and always got a seat. The routes were great. Lots of places to see. One issue was the cramming to get on. But customers need to learn how to queue.

The tour was interesting and enjoyable. The bus wasn’t crowded, which was great. The audio was reasonably well-synchronized with the sites we visited, although some of the headphone jacks had loose connections. The only downside was that we thought we could travel until the time listed on the website, but the attendant traveling with us warned us that, on the way back, we wouldn’t be able to take the bus on the other route because there wouldn’t be any more availability. And it was still early. We could have done the entire route we had planned. But... Despite that, it was enjoyable.

We took all four routes of Milan’s tourist bus to explore that beautiful city in Lombardy. We thought the service was good overall, but I think there should be more frequent departures, especially on some routes, since in some cases we had to wait an hour and 15 minutes to board another bus.

Two of the four bus routes start at Sforza Castle, so the 24-hour pass effectively covers your transit to and from the city's largest museum complex.

Hop on and off across 4 routes and 40+ stops, covering the Duomo, La Scala, Brera district, Parco Sempione, San Siro, and the CityLife skyscrapers.

At Sforza Castle, a digital audio guide in five languages walks you through the seven museums, including the Sala delle Asse and Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini.

Use the bus pass before or after your timed castle slot — the 24-hour clock starts only when you first scan on board, not from the booking time.

Your confirmation website is not good and doesn't give info on telling people what they need to do to have the right documents. Difficult to understand.
