It was perfect, we saved time, because with the service provided we were able to get to the tourist attractions quickly, saving time. I loved the Danube cruise too. An incredible experience, I loved it and recommend it.

The easiest way to see the main sites. We did the 48 hour option, stayed on the bus for the whole route, and then decided which ones to get off at - which also showed us where the stops are as they are hard to find otherwise, and the app isn't always accurate!

The bus itself is convenient for getting around the city, but there is little clarity about the stops, the staff is often rude when you ask for information, and not all stops operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
