Overall rating

Everything is fine, except the crazy idea of redeeming the voucher you have bought in Internet. You have to go to the central info point to redeem it. What is the point of buying tickets in internet then?

Honestly the tour was great. You can even stop and take the next one as soon as you finish visiting the area of your choosing. Plus you get both lines.

The most recommended when one goes to a city for the first time. Good combination of buses covering a large part of the city and its main attractions.

The Aquarium was immaculate! And it was very nice!
