Stops are at tourist hotspots, and ride times are frequent. It would be nice if the service were also available in the evening

It delivers what it promises. I would like to highlight the positive performance of the staff on the streets: they do not shy away from helping, informing and clarifying.

The narration was minimal. Would have liked more information and history on the audio part on the bus. Bus was not available for half the route the second half day due to an event. We had planned on using it in the second afternoon only - would have been nice to have been refunded a portion since unusable.

The service works very well, but I found the audio guide boring, it lost my concentration and interest. I would improve that, the way of telling what you are seeing, in a more relaxed and less documentary way.
