Helpful staff when the app was not working for me to show my ticket had been purchased. Guide Jill had much interesting information. Appreciated bathroom stop by coffee shop for 15 minutes. I was able to reapply sunscreen and wash my hands.

It was a good tour, it was nice to have someone on board telling you about the sights and places of interest instead of listening through headphones. Everything ran smoothly regarding the tickets and so a good experience

Ticketing worked well.
Our guide on the bus (Jessica) was very good. I Learned a lot about the city that I'd never heard or seen and I'm from Whitby but I had guests from Scotland and they enjoyed the tour as well.

The city tour with one of the guides was pleasant! However, with another guide, a lot of the information was wrong.... and I would have expected more information about the city, the history of the monuments and particularities of the city... instead, we got offers for museum tickets, which I found inappropriate!

Price and quality does not apply, it is very expensive for the bus experience. I have visited other cities in previous years and the bus, is clean in excellent condition, comfortable and newer. And this bus looks very neglected and old. The tour is very helpful but it lacks comfort on the bus.
