Could see entire city with the most beautiful places. Sometimes too hot because the roof was closed. Excellent service from staff. Only thing was that I had to pick up the tickets for the boat trip separately in an office. Was about 2 km extra walk because I only found out when we were about to board. We were not let on board without printed tickets. I was not informed that I had to carry those printed separately. Otherwise fine.

Very convenient and quickly gives a first introduction to the city! If you start in the morning, you can take it for one day. If you start in the afternoon, you should definitely take two days. Especially since the price difference is not big.

Good service in general. Easy to hire. The treatment of drivers and guides was very good. Very complete tour. To improve on hot days put more closed buses with AC. 100% recommendable service

One of the offices were good as we couldn't get a signal and we booked online earlier the office printed some tickets off for us. We have used loads of these in numerous cities. We usually do a full circuit then make notes of where we'd like to get off to view. Jump back in the bus and get off at the next place we'd like to view.
