Transportation through the city's interesting spots. However, the commentary is brief, and it would be great to have more information about the sights.

One of the bucket items my wife wanted to do years ago. All was just right apart from the cold winds. Staff and fellow guests were great and the staff on the bus's were so helpfull espeacilly Murray. We would recommend the visit to the Britannia resturant to anyone, the queue said it all. All the greet and meet staff through out the experience were first class.

We love the Hop On, Hop Off bus tours throughout the world and this one was a good one. Got to see the city highlights and then pick where we wanted to explore more. Staff and drivers were courteous, cost was reasonable, the tour was informative and our group of four enjoyed it very much!
