The bus drivers were very friendly. On the return trip we were advised to stop buying flexible tickets with the return trip as the bus drivers can only take you if a specific return date and reference is noted on the ticket. The bus driver took us anyway, which is super friendly. However, Getyourgide should note such notices here so that no double bookings have to be made and the company does not suffer any disadvantages.

When you book with the transfer remember to go to a ticket booth before queuing for the bus. Tickets from a few metres Infront of where the bus is parked. Have ready time of flight back for them to calculate at which time you need to board the bus back. They were very helpful. Driver calls out the stops. Very satisfied and it is worth it.

Very nice! Make sure to reserve your seat at the booth in the airport when you booked a return, otherwise you will not be able to go on the time you would like.

Great presentation. Excellent content - maintained our interest for well over 3 hours.

Very knowledgeable guide - good stories and looked after group well on underground
