Overall rating

I booked the On-Off Bus for my grandson and myself. I choose this particular tour because it offered two routes, one going a bit out of town to the BMW Museum and the Olympic Park, both of which were of interest to us. We also took advantage of the intown route. The audio provided a good description of the buildings and areas we passed. I find Hop on Hop Off busses a plus in every new city I visit, and this did not disappoint. My only issue was that we missed the first bus trying to find out where we should be. Another tour we took which picked up at the same spot provided a google map location. This would be helpful.

Anna was lovely! She kindly showed me around and helped me get the lay of the land. She has an impressive knowledge of history and I really enjoyed the historical anecdotes that made the sites come to life!

Very easy to collect our tickets. Bus turned up on time, audio quality really good.

We got a good overview of the city and its surroundings

good way to see all the important places in the city
