We were expecting a short city tour. Instead, we went up and down the canal once. There were two brief mentions of a building. We were a little disappointed.

The staff were very friendly and the buses arrived at the stops on time. Changing buses, e.g. from the yellow to the blue line, also went quickly and without any problems. The background noise and the music of the announcer were a little annoying, so that the announcements were not always clear to understand. We would have preferred music only between the explanations. We can recommend the tour.
