Trieste 24-Hour Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour

Miramare is just beautiful. I have really wanted to see this castle for some years and when the opportunity came up to go to Trieste, this was on the top of my list. The HopIt Bus and Miramare ticket made it easy to get there and see the castle. My advice is that it takes an hour to get there on the HopIt Bus and you then have a 20-30 minute walk from the drop off point, so take that into consideration when booking your tour time for the castle.

Trieste è molto molto bella e vale bene un soggiorno per visitarla, per me davvero una piacevole sorpresa. Il bus turistico sali e scendi è molto comodo perché dà la possibilità di scendere ad ogni fermata x visitare qualche cosa che ci interessa nei dintorni per poi risalire per riprendere il tour. Logicamente la cosa va organizzata bene e i mezzi devono essere frequenti e avere anche posti liberi x coloro che vogliono risalire, cosa che nel nostro caso purtroppo non sempre si è verificata. Per il resto buona la gestione degli ospiti e validi gli accompagnatori, gentili e disponibili. Bella la visita al castello di Miramare, l'interno è un pezzo di storia che vale la pena di conoscere, sarebbe ancora migliore se ci fossero delle guide che ti raccontano di persona ciò che stai vedendo. Splendido poi il parco che circonda il castello, da visitare sicuramente. Più che soddisfatto!

We really enjoyed our little tour of Triestre. The price was right and the staff very nice. I only have one criticism. The audio in English was very clear and very interesting. The only thing that you really must change , in my opinion, is some of the words used. Some of these include the following from memory but I am sure there are more. Epoque: is not a word used in English, period would be more appropriate. Spur: Can't remember the context it was in but it means nothing. Mole cost: I think he was supposed to say coast and was in refering to the harbour and surrounding, but in any case not a thing. Slewing, in reference to a slewing bridge. This maybe technically correct but unless you were an engineer or grew up in 19th century it means nothing. Rotating bridge or something similar would be better. It is a common error made everywhere you travel but I think it is something that would improve the experience of this wonderful city.

The information on the tour was good. The bus was punctual and the guides helpful. The castle is stunning in a great location and with lots to see.

Directions in the email and ticket to initiation spot were different, then I went to drop off point and could not find sign. Saw the bus and tried to flag the driver and he passed me by. So I never go to use the bus. Took a 20 taxi each way to Miramare and would like my money refunded.
