Final Verdict? My thoughts?
I loved it! I never really do guided tours or groups and I always find that hop-on hop-off buses are the best way to get around. Super convenient and a lot less stressful than trying to figure out public transport especially when you don’t speak the language.
Have you tried this bus tour before? Or have you tried something similar in a different city/country? Let me know what you think in the comments section below!
