Convenient but Not as informative as I hoped. People were standing up which made the ride uncomfortable and blocked the view

A good overview of sights. We found a stop one past Opera to join the bus.we were then told we had to go to Opera as the bus didn't stop where we were. Along with 4 other people ,we caught the bus and it then went to our original place. Quite confusing! Hard to line commentary with some sights!

It's super that such a bus gets you to all the major sights of the city But there was a lot of confusion about where the stops were There was a guide on the bus who was super clear which stop it was and the possibilities at this stop

Bus stops are invisible. You never know where to stop when there are no spectacular buildings. The staff are very friendly and helpful

The buses run different routes, so you may not see any sights ... On a sightseeing tour, I want to be able to see all (as many as possible) of the interesting sights in a city / surrounding area, get off if necessary and continue on the next bus.
