We booked with red bus company but when we got on one the driver told us there were two companies and we should be on a green bus !! We waited for half an hour to eventually get a green bus, we toured tge city finishing at the Abba Museum then waited nearly an hour for another green bus eventually giving up and calling anUber taxi. Not good at all
