2.00Very hard to find the stops and when we did had a longer wait than it should have been then bus driver drove past and pointed to stop on other side of road and then had another long wait. Was a very wet day ( not companies fault off course) had to sit on top in rain as bottom was full.
Food for getting around but not for learning about anything

5.00A great experience, fortunately it was not that busy so you could easily get on and off without having to wait because the bus was full, the sun was shining so wonderful to drive around, with the highlight being the visit to the Opera house and great experience to experience this.
