Allowed us to see more of the city and it’s neighbourhoods than we would have seen if we had just gone to one or two historical sites. Only negative was that the drivers don’t allow time for passengers to get up the stairs to the top level before they start driving. This is unsafe, especially for people like my husband who uses forearm crutches.

We really enjoyed this service as a whole. It is extremely convenient as a method of transportation and for tourism. I knew right away to use this service as I have used it over ten years ago in Paris and this is a trustworthy brand. Highly informative and fun overall. My one gripe is that I found some of the information to be a little vague or generic. I understand that history is complex and it's easy to fall into a rabbit hole when explaining things, but some landmarks could have used more detail for those that don't know as much. There were oftentimes amazing key points left out that most travelers would have loved to know.

Made getting around the city to see the main attractions very easy. Regularity of bus meant we weren’t airing long for the next bus to come along. Was very hot even in late August which made it uncomfortable sometimes but overall a great service. Would recommend doing this in each city.
