Information on the bus understandable and good! Round trip was great! It was possible to get on and off at any time! We took a closer look at some attractive places worth seeing! Boat trip on the Danube came afterwards! Unfortunately we forgot to download the audio guide! The trip itself is short and crisp, but beautiful! Be there in good time before departure! So that you can sit at the top!

It was a pleasure to see places we hadn't reached. It's a good idea - you can use the bus as many times as you want along the route during its operation. The green route is difficult to get on (it runs once an hour). It's better not to sit on the top floor of the bus - you'll get your head hot, and most often there is glass or a ceiling - you can't take good pictures. We received instructions about the departure point along the Danube in the mail, which was convenient. Basically, the dock is marked with a sign. You don't have to sit upstairs on the boat either, it's better to sit downstairs - you won't get hot and the wind won't blow, the windows are big - you can take good pictures.

The ticketing process was smooth. I was able to find and use the tickets via my email. The tour was good too. My only frustration is that so many seats on the top of the red bus didn't work. I had to share my headset with my husband. This made it difficult to hear the description of the site's. The other issue is that it was hard to connect the description to the site. Most of this was due to not being able to slow down and 'see' the site & hear all about it. This is out of your control, I do understand that.

The attendant on the buses are a real mixed bag some are excellent with a couple of the female staff being extremely rude and preventing passengers boarding as door shuts refused to open and drive off leaving them waiting for the next bus, often 20 mins away. The hop on and off then means you will meet them again affecting the entire enjoyment. The bus audio is also inaudible which they can hear but make garbled announcement anyway. There was also only 1 bus on the shorter green route meaning 1 on those stop every hour adding to our walking as going out to hero's square before downtown added 30 mins every trip
