Most Hop on Hop off buses I've been on are more informative to the history of the area. I was expecting a bit of a presentation while on the bus. Also, I did find the route confusing between buses. A colored blue and red bus would make it easier to identify the route. The host Anomie was very helpful and answered any questions pertaining to the system. She was so easy going and pleasant.

Nice way to see the city center & then decide what you want to do & where to get off to experience Firenza. Only issue was bus was not running as often as noted. Supposed to be every 20 minutes & we waited at Michelangelo overlook for 1hour 15 minutes before bus arrived. Otherwise info while riding was wonderful.
