From the start it was very informative. Took us to all sights we wanted to go to. The ability to get off and explore, which I definitely recommend, and jump back on to the next was really good. Do it at the start of the day. It helps you to plan your attraction visits for the rest of it 👍🏼

We sat in the open top of a double decker bus, so had good all round views. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in describing the sights and buildings and their history as we went round. He took the time to answer individual questions. And even took pictures of us as well as other angles of sights from the bus that we couldn't reach sitting down. Couldn't fault them, first class customer service.
