2.00No-one informed us that the Castle was closed on Mon-Tues. That was the whole point of the trip for us! We were also dropped off & had to walk up a very steep hill for NOTHING. Additionally, the audio was WAAAAAYYY too loud - it was so painful it hurt my ears
Worst Hop On/Hop Off Experience

1.00Of many Hop On/Hop Off experiences, this was the worst. The bus arrived early (or late?), and the driver refused to wait 3 minutes for my friends to get to the bus stop. The stated reason was a strict schedule. He said there would be another bus in 30 minutes. The next bus arrived 1 hour 20 minutes later. Like a previous reviewer, I did not want to leave the bus for free the failure to strictly adhere to their schedule might keep me from returning to the ship in time. To the tour operator: please do not respond with your standard "road closures and festival induced route alterations" excuses. There was no traffic congestion and the driver announced a route alteration due to a local event, which he said would remove 3 of the usual stops. This was truly disappointing as I have used Hop On/Hop Off buses for years, in and out of the U.S., and have never had such a terrible experience.
Worst hop on experience ever

1.00Waited 2 hours for a bus. After that wait I was afraid to get off and enjoy the city, as the wait for another bus could have kept me from getting to ship on time.
Trolley never showed up

1.00Never showed up at the Craigdarroch Castle stop. Waited 30 minutes beyond scheduled time and then had to call an Uber. Paid for five Trolley tickets and never got on. Really disappointed. There were a dozen people waiting. One family decided to walk instead and the other called an Uber as well.
Amazing guide, Bryan
