Karen – United Kingdom

Easy to use, informative and great way to get around city. Drivers and staff all very friendly

The staff member at the bus stop was very friendly and helpful, and exchanged our voucher to tickets right away. There was a bus within minutes, and we were lucky to get best seats in front. The driver was very friendly too, and gave enough time to customers to find their seats and to board / un-board safely which often doesnt happen. So no dangerous climbing stairs while driving etc. He drove overall super careful, no hard breaking and we could fully enjoy the sights. Good commentary in all languages you might need. Great experience can fully recommend.
