Getting started
Begin by boarding the hop-on hop-off bus at any operational stop along the route using your bus tour ticket. Departure times listed in the schedule apply to Stop number 1, so plan your first boarding around these if you want a confirmed start time. In winter, check the calendar carefully, as only two departures run per operational day between October and April.
