1.00We were very disappointed with the hop on hop off bus and boat tour. We could never find the boat. The bus was full and we had to wait close to 25 minutes to get one and then the driver allowed others to purchase tickets on the spot and they got ahead of the line and we missed the bus again. The second day of our reservation was cancelled because of a Palestinan protest therefore we never got the boat and used the bus one time. I feel we should be refunded for the second day.
Bad ride

2.00I have been on several Hop on Hop off buses in different cities and this one was the worse. First it was very hard to find the bus. Central station was supposed to be the main stop for the bus but no one could tell us where to go. Most people working at the station and yes, it is a very big station had no idea what we were talking about. We walked all over Central Station until finally just by accident found someone who could actually give us the right directions. Then the bus driver never told us anything about the stops that were made. Of course, you had the audio system to explain but most of the time you never knew what stop you were at. We were just thankful to finally be on the bus so that we could rest a little before we walked all the way back to our hotel. I would say no it was not worth the money.
No one knew where the bus...

1.00No one knew where the bus was! It used to be here, but it’s not anymore. The reason that I do hop on hop off is that I have had 15 major bone surgeries. I broke my neck twice. We walked for 2 hours looking for the bus. We finally took trains and buses back to our cruise ship! Very disappointed and out money for nothing.
Hard to find starting bus...

4.00Typical hop on hop off experience. Sometimes hard to find pick up spots. Headphones somewhat helpful but could be more descriptive of what you’re seeing.
