Took my parents, both in their 70s, and they had a blast. No stairs to climb, and the driver even helped my dad with his walker. We loved the Kon-Tiki stop! Btw, free Wi-Fi actually worked (surprised me). Would recommend esp for older folks.

Used the bus to get around with my grandma. She got tired walking, so this was a LIFESAVER. Some of the music on the audio was a bit cheesy but the info was interesting.

Did this right after our cruise docked. Bus was waiting and staff helped us with our (heavy) bags. Loved being able to hit the major museums without dealing with taxis. Highly recommend if you’ve got luggage.
