There are two possible routes that cross each other, but the stops are not mentioned and we don't know when the bus stops if it's because of traffic or if it's because there's a stop, so we didn't get off where we wanted to! A map should be provided before taking the bus for the first time, as we don't know where the nearest stop is. The application doesn't work at all.

We loved getting on and off the bus to see the sights we really wanted to. Also going on both the blue and red tour buses were great as they covered different areas and so covered a lot more area. We also learned a lot about the history of the town.
The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we couldn't take the red line as there were hardly any buses on the road (at least we never saw one, only for the blue route)

Although we paid the full price, the red line bus did not go to the lighthouse. We also had to wait 45 minutes for the bus

Convenient to book.good way to see the city.Liked that they stopped at specific locations allowing riders the time to take pictures. One of the stops was at the train station which was near our hotel so that was convenient. Unfortunately for us the time we chose to use the bus, it started to rain shortly there after.Uncontrolable and prevented us for taking the second route of the trip.Would recommend it to others!
In addition to the above reasons (I have had to change seats to find an audio guide which was working properly) I think that the maintenance of the bus should be improved (cleanliness .... visibility through the windows...).
Excellent cultural and detailed trip...

It was great experience having the fact that there are lot of negative commentars for headout. Actually most of this cases are due to personal reasons like late arraving at gate, late purchasing etc. Reccomend it!
