Ticket process was easy and the swop from mobile to paper ticket was straightforward. Traffic was very busy so we eventually had to hop off before completing the circuit- not the fault of the company but it was a complicated route and seemed to cross over itself a lot so we decided it would be quicker to walk to our next destination.

I find the hop on hop off buses very handy when in a new city. I usually go for the 48hour ticket as it's only a bit extra in cost. It's a great way of getting your bearings in a new city. The customer service guy at the Archeological Museum was very helpful - I was waiting about 15 mins for the next bus - it pulled in and back out before I could even board! He contacted the driver as the bus turns near there and escorted me across the road and onto the bus as he had arranged for the driver to pull in.

The promo is relatively appealing but I haven't got a chance to explore the other two lines properly given the timing of the arrival of the bus. I was also not oriented where to get the free beer for a 3-day pass. There should be more perks included for a 3-day pass, to fully maximize the paid cost. Thanks
