Best way to explore sights. I took the sightseeing bus for its entire loop while marking the route map of which points of interest I’d like to go back to and spend more time. The timetable of the route map was very helpful in going to one point to another as the sightseeing bus ran on schedule.

This is a great value to seethe city first then use it to get back to your hotel later or inthe second day. Far less than 2 taxis. Very nice and helpful driver and guide. HOWEVER if you use hop on hop off please check to make sure that you can jump on initially at any space instead of having to go to the main office to get your ticket on the first day. The hop on hop off was two blocks from my hotel. I went all the way into town, $14 taxi ride, only to find out that it was possible for me to get on at any of the bus stops for my initial ride. Not every town that I used to hop on hop off is convenience.

Good experience. Easy to use. Only suggestion is that the conductors know when certain facilities are closed. We hopped off to visit the Palace, it was closed. It would have been helpful if the conductor has told us that before we got off the bus. Also, it was a bit cold. It was not until later in the day where part of the roof was closed.
