“Large area covered Wasn’t busy in July so always got a seat If booking again I would not pay up to most expensive ticket as I didn’t use nearly all the offers available so be sure what you need before selecting your ticket The tour guide was good for the walking tour Lack of advice from driver - he stopped at view point at top but didn’t tell us we could get out and he would wait on us to hop back on rather than wait for next bus - so wasted the opportunity something he could easily announce - they treated their job like drivers rather than tour guides…”

“This Hop-On Hop-Off bus even took us to another small city. You really get a great overview of the port and area. We again hopped off to see a flower market and fruits and vegetables.
