  • Speedy Driver.. Not enough buses.

    Had to wait over half an hour for bus to arrive as seemed to have only one bus on, and the driver drove it round the city like a Formula 1 driver.. she gave you no time to see anything, dare not get off as it would be ages before another one arrived.

  • Don't do it!

    Very disappointing experience for the price! Bus very poorly maintained and audio catastrophic. Very little explanation in the audio about what we see. Stops are not respected by drivers. In addition, the two proposed routes are substantially the same... just 3 or 4 stops are different. While travelling in Europe we made several bus trips like this to other cities for much cheaper and much better quality! Do you hesitate to make this visit? Run away and keep your money for something else!

  • The charm of the red bus

    It was interesting and comfortable to tour the city and can be used again after sightseeing. Freely available satisfaction Satisfied to look around at once After April and June, we will use it in November as well^^

    Do not take the hop on hop off! This was by far the worst experience! At first I wasn’t going to comment but after talking with several crews ship members everyone had the same experience. We waited 1 hour to an 1 1/2 to board a bus then didn’t jet off for fear of not getting back on in a reasonable amount of time. Then the employees were Extremely rude!! One bus attendant intentionally closed the door in my face I was asking questions.

  • Save your money!

    Each tour had over 50% overlap and wasn't unique. Same roads, sights, and commentary. One tour bus had yellowed, faded, and severely scratched plexiglass over the top deck. Couldn't see anything through them. A few audio jack plugs didn't work. Earbuds provided are short and wouldn't reach if sitting on the aisle. Worst hop on/off bus tour we've taken and we've been on over a dozen. Waste of money.

  • Over crowd mess and equipment that didn’t work

    Overcrowded mess at the port. We were there at the appointed time and it was crowded. They moved our group to another location where we boarded a bus where the we were handed ear phone.s. The system didn’t work. The upper deck plastic cover was scratched that you couldn’t see out of it. But we were lucky. The lines waiting to get a bus the two Spots near the port were 100 to 150 people long. We left the bus and the entrance/exit They were still selling tickets. Sadly those people were in for at least an hour wait. Total mess.

    I've used this activity in several places and this was the worst. Stops were moved with poor signage; the audio was off from where we were. Was the royal palace at the present day McDonalds?

  • Boring and rude.

    I did the hop on/off in Milan, it was great, this was not. This was repetitive, boring and the people running it I found rude. Frail people would get on and they would speed off before they had any chance to sit down, horrible. Many commentary outlets were broken. They have cameras to see if people want to get off which they ignore. You aren't supposed to stand while its driving obviously but if you wait until the stop to get up they just leave without stopping. The owner should read this and make changes. I suggest visitors walk around Genoa, the small side streets where the bus doesn't and can't go, much more interesting. Lovely polite local people rather than this rude operation!

  • Helpful to see all around the town…. Everyone was helpfil
