The facility that your Car offers to Goes arroubos the city safely! However, We wish we had known about the discount on Goldreef tickets in advance, because we bought them online and paid the regular price, and when we got to the ticket office, we were told that nothing could be done since we had already paid the regular price!

I loved the commentary on the bus ride. I felt like I was experiencing a 5D documentary. Your staff are generally friendly but not overly proactive. I had never experienced this type of ride before, and rushed through one stop because we were advised that the bus would return in 40 minutes. However, another staff member later advised me that I can stay longer and hop onto another bus. He also gave me the schedule for the 4 buses. I missed a couple of other stops because I was unsure of my security at those stops, especially as a foreigner. I plan better and will definitely take another trip next time. The trip was value for money. I just needed a better briefing to know how to do this as a solo traveller.
