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!

Easy to locate the start point. All the representatives around the city were really helpful in guiding us to the right place. A good way to see many of the major sights. The onboard commentary was good.

    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
