5.00This was a very positive hop on/hop off experience. Weather was lovely so we sat on the top decker. The headsets worked well and we saw all the sites we hoped to see. We only took it around once, but it was a pleasant and inexpensive way to get a feel of the city and to end our day in port.
Good for overall view

3.00Good for overall view of city but I didn’t think the audio guide matched what we were seeing all the time. I don’t know how the driver is able to go up and down all the hills and small roads but he did!
Very chill day!

3.00Accessing the bus from the port is very easy. There was some question about the tickets I had downloaded and we had to stand in a confusing line to obtain a "tiny receipt". Using a small receipt is the only way to board the bus again. It is a good way to see the city, but the stops did not match the brochure, or what is listed on Viator website. The audio also did not match the bus route and is geared more for school children, not adults. There is no guide available on the bus for questions & the bus driver was less than thrilled about answering questions. At one point, everyone was asked to leave the bus & board another one. The second bus was full, so we were told to wait for about 30 minutes until another bus arrived.
Too expensive

2.00Not worth the money. Bus 37 costs 0.6 euro and will bring you to the upper city back and forth. Nothing else to see besides that.
Amazing day

4.00We frequently use this service as due to limited mobility this is an excellent way to see a city that I would not see otherwise. We thought the price was reasonable. The commentary was a little Corney but as a means of navigating the city highlights it cannot be bea. Busy on cruise days it actually runs this service from the cruise pirt too.t
You can save yourself!

2.00You can save yourself. Information was sometimes too late and a bit strange. A bus did not arrive in the appropriate time. Almost no audio guide worked on a bus.
