Not too much stops, so we don’t have to wait long for the next bus. But the stops are the main attractions, so it’s enough for a tour in such a short time. Worth it!...

Easy to book and pay for online and when you arrived at the bus they just scanned your phone and gave you your physical ticket. Told you to take a map and headphones when entering the bus.
