It was good ,educational with good communication of the crew. it was also good to have not just one loop of tour, but two and swap. the only one thing i would ask to udvertise it better at Palermo central railway station , as it took us a bit of time to find the nearest hop on stop.

You see a lot in a very short time and can get off at many places if you want to explore something briefly...we were thrilled and can only recommend it and would book it again immediately. In any case, you are busy all day in Palermo and flat in the evening 😄

Always a great way to see the sights. We rode the red loop, getting on near our hotel, and actually stayed on for an extra 1/2 loop so we could get off at the shopping area near Teatro Massimo. The app was helpful and accurately showed the location and arrival of the bus. The commentary was generally interesting (to me, anyway!) and helped me appreciate some of the area's history. Glad we did it and highly recommend it.

    What I loved the most is the ease of getting off at the places of interest and having approximately 30 minutes to walk around and then be able to take the next bus or wait for another one.

    It was also a pity that the blue route was not displayed in the app, when the bus was coming or where it was. The seating is also very cramped.
