    The buses weren't as frequent as I thought they were to be. I would have preferred a paper ticket as my phone battery dropped off quickly during the day thereby making it difficult to access the online ticket to show the driver. The traffic congestion was unbelievable and on a couple of occasions I got off the bus and walked as it was much quicker. Obviously Tootbus doesn't have any control on the traffic issues.

    Announcements were often repeated. Interesting facts were interrupted in the middle of the lecture. On the green tour there was almost only music and only Ki's voice suffered. Blue tour was the best in terms of entertainment value

    The audio guide played 70% music, too little information and the text of the speakers was annoying with completely unimportant stories, should probably be entertaining and funny. But it wasn't
