Too many ppl wanting on the same bus. It was a mad house. Additionally the bus we were on shut down at 7. So much for 24 hr.

Orribile esperienza! Se prenotate diversi biglietti insieme siete poi obbligati a salire sull'autobus tutti insieme o perdete il biglietto! Terrible experience! If you book several tickets together, you all then have to get on the bus at the same time, otherwise anyone who doesn’t board loses their ticket! Unbelievable! Outrageous!

Special and exclusive thanks to the attendant Etiandro, who was polite, elegant, inquisitive and cheerful in his approach with us. And everything he said was really correct, about the information on the tour and also the city.

Great service, very helpful. Excellent information about the areas of interest. Our lady driver radioed ahead and got us on the blue route bus so we could transfer. Awesome service with a smile. Thank you for helping us getting where we wanted to go.

I had trouble finding the pick up location. I asked a couple people and the second person sent me to the City Sightseeing office. A manager just happened to be there and he hailed down a bus for me. Once I was on the bus it was great. The sun goes down early in November and part of my ride was in the dark. Two days later I bought another ticket and went for another ride. Great!

Very disappointing experience! We ended up spending more time waiting for the bus and sitting at stops than riding the bus. The app was unreliable and we found poor communication at the stops as we sat at one stop for 20+ minutes with only a message we would be stopping for a few minutes. It was disappointing and we only ended up using one day of our pass because we feared getting stuck on it or waiting.

This was such a great way to explore a new city with so much history. I loved the commentary that you can plug into if you choose. Plus get off the bus, explore that area the. Get back on a d keep going till you find the next place to explore. Just wish the last bus wasn’t so early in the winter. Ended 4:30. Would have liked it till 6 or 7. So get an early start.

Purchased 72hr trip. Would have been better to purchase 24hr only Red route does take to all the main areas but to look at hyde park plus area or kings cross, have to spend majority of time on red to meet the other routes. The extras with 72hr arent really explained - so were they worth it? Sadly didnt do those either Would be better if you can purchase 3 day trip but u decide which 3 days..
