The bus made logical stops and we were able to see numerous monuments and learned history not known by us before. I would suggest any visitor, especially short visits to do it.

Unfortunately, we were not able to use the hop on hop off bus, the bus did not stop at the designated locations. After an hour of waiting, we started walking. Waving to the bus drivers did not help, because they just kept driving. Very unfortunate, because previous experiences in other cities were good.

Changing buses to get to a destination was not what we expected or was told about. Our first driver was trying his best on his own but asked one of the passengers to help out as he was running late. Our last driver very kindly took us back to our cruise ship as a lot of the passengers were going there and it saved us changing buses again.

Online ticketing worked firm. We were confused about which bus to get on. We only had one full day in the city so it was a good option for seeing the sights. All the stops were easy to find.
