    The bus never came, and then they rejected my refund, and literally wrote that they didn’t issue my refund because they didn’t feel like it. Spend your $100+ dollars literally anywhere else. It completely ruined my trip.

    It was 30 degree Celsius and no AC in the bus. No mentioned about such when we rode on it. Asked for water because it has stickers indicating they sell water there is none.

  • Really only beneficial if you want to go to the museums.

    Due to the clockwise direction around the city, it takes over an hour to get from the city center area back to the cruise terminals, so isn't as useful as it could be. We ended up walking back to the terminal since it was only 20 minutes. Great if you mainly want to go out the museums, but if you don't, and just want to see the main city, don't bother. Commentary was very limited, too.

    The attendance at check in was not cooperative, I promoted her twice before she printed my tickets as she was talking to someone else and I was wandering and looking to other companies. I should mention that I feel I was racially marginalised in this case. She was talking to possibly German white individuals. I belief it might be the case I was non white person which is why she racially sidelined me. Also the history itself was quite dirty and the air ventilation was not sufficient. The headphone jack ports did not work properly and had to be adjusted a lot for any communication. The bus do not arrive and leave timely from a spot. While they say 20 minutes it’s 30-35 minutes per stop. It might be a cheaper option but not the most convinent one.

  • Beautiful city

    The tour was very easy to access however the stops were not identifiable with numbers to correspond with our map. So on and off was a little tricky. But overall a pleasure.
