The hop-on, hop-off bus was very convenient, we could stop at any of the stops we wanted, and all the stop-offs were clearly labelled and announced in the bus. I enjoyed the freedom of doing everything in your own time. If I had to nitpick, I'd say some of the recommendation places for lunch wasn't as great as I expected it to be.

I called HOHO twice before arriving at Blue Mtn. Each time the agent was friendly and knowledgeable. When I arrived, online tickets were accepted and the agent gave us good information for what our needs and wants were ehile on HOHO. Drivers along the route were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Buses ran on time at each stop.
