Ticketing experience with headout was very easy and appreciated. The overall combo (HOHO + Bath) was a decent deal and we enjoyed the experience. Only drawback was the time frame allowed for HOHO ending at 5pm each day, would have been great if it continued thru the evening to maximize all the sites.

We liked the fact that we could take the bus to the stop of our choice. Then we could get off to visit a site and get back on another bus, which was really appreciated. The cruise on the Danube is very nice. We had a really pleasant day thanks to your tourist bus.

Could see entire city with the most beautiful places. Sometimes too hot because the roof was closed. Excellent service from staff. Only thing was that I had to pick up the tickets for the boat trip separately in an office. Was about 2 km extra walk because I only found out when we were about to board. We were not let on board without printed tickets. I was not informed that I had to carry those printed separately. Otherwise fine.

De bus was ideaal omdat je op 1 dag een groot deel van de stad kon zien met alle belangrijke bezienswaardigheden. Het was alleen jammer dat de bus in de kastelenwijk (aan de boeda kant) niet direct bij alle bezienswaardigheden stopte maar dat je nog een stuk moest lopen. Ook deden de kastjes met informatie niet allemaal of viel een deel van de informatie weg.
