We love the hop on hop off tours and have done them in many cities. It was extremely hot so air conditioning is recommended, we are OK being hot but this was heat stroke levels, so we decided to walk instead. I didn't realize there was an app until I saw this review request. I tried to get the audio to play on the bus so a sign on the audio box recommending the app would be helpful.

This was the best way to get to all the major sites of the city without the stress of getting different modes of transport. Riding on the top level was especially great - though people need to watch for tree branches!

First in the morning all was working good for us, but later the capacities of colorbüs is not big enough. We waited over 40 min a Station before we decided to walk. At the Station notre Dame de la Garde a nearly full Bus arrived noone got out and only a handful people could get into the bus. To my estimation about 50 people were their originally waiting. That should not happen. There should be more buses.

The commentary was excellent and lined up with the locations. The staff at the initial start point were very helpful and friendly. As we had experienced problems in other countries we went around once before we were confident to hop off as we were concerned that we would not be able to get back on. This however was not a problem. We got off at Notre Dame and didn't have a problem getting back on. Many thanks to you all
