Basically a great tour. Informative and some of the most interesting places in the city are visited. This time the hop on/hop off worked really well and the buses came at a pleasant rhythm. It wasn't that busy on Saturday and so at one point I was alone on the bus. It was irritating that suddenly nothing was explained anymore (explanations came over a tape, not live explanations) and the journey was pretty quiet until later on guests got on again. How do I know that? I did a second round and then heard the explanations that I hadn't heard before. Well, the tour was still good and I was able to see a lot; you can read the explanations yourself if you want.

5 out of 5 stars

The sightseeing tour by bus was great, and especially the view from the Sky View. I paid less than 50 euros for both, which is great by American standards.

5 out of 5 stars
