It was smooth from hopping on to hop off. We were at peace of mind that we would not need to stand at queue for tickets. It was a rush being on Sunday and long weekend. We wish we could have been earlier there.

Our hop on hop off experience was wonderful. The bus was always on time. It was a very wet and gloomy day, so we couldn't see much of the sites, however our driver Angus was so entertaining that we didn't feel the effects of the gloomy day. Angus made the tour very enjoyable. He happily answered our questions and made us feel so welcome.

All good. But I'd say, you won't make it full if you have only one day. I'd suggest this could be notified when seeing the tickets.
