It was lovely city,very beautiful.... But couldn't hear the person telling us about stops etc,as this wasn't said through ear phones.. Also changing a bus? Don't get that,I use these buses world wide and staff change,not the whole bus getting off asnd on to another each day,very inconvenient & as we had a disabled friend with us,was but of a problem. Having said all that staff were kind & courteous . . Ticket was extended 3 rd day,so we really appreciated this.

We used it over 3 days. Experience was good and bad. In general audio was clear and had interesting facts. On one bus with a table downstairs the audio was completely stuck on Hungarian only, I got the Tour bus courier to verify this. I didn't have the option to move because I was on crutches and with a folding wheel chair to mind. Some buses had ramps ,many didn't. The steps were very high to use crutches but the staff were generally patient and helped me to get in and out. The black adhesive layer on the windows of the left side of the bus greatly obscures the view of the sights. Many people had obviously peeled some off to see. There's nothing to secure a wheelchair from rolling or falling over. One staff member let my chair fall and left it lyuout into the pathway of other passengers so I had to stay alert to warn people about the hazard of tripping over it and so I didn't enjoy that trip. It is very confusing about where the boat trips go from . Yes it is stop 2 or 13, but we got a taxi to it because of my crutches and we were not able to say dock 6 and it was not easy to find. All signs at stops could be made larger and easier to identify. The buses were clean and punctual, most of the staff were fine.

The guides and drivers were competent, but the big problem was the lack of visibility at the stops. The tour also went round in circles at certain points. As far as the thermal baths were concerned, they were a breeding ground for microbes: the changing rooms were very dirty, the baths overcrowded and the population very young and noisy. We didn't bathe and left immediately.

Hi, the experience was acceptable and not great because on one of the two buses we took it was very cold and because the audio guide was very superficial compared to other European cities. The beauty of City Sight Seeing is just being able to listen to the guide as you travel, if there is little information there is no point in spending 30 euros. Thank you
