Reviews
Was short journey into town, around the houses. Would been gd if had more sights to see etc. Great 4 kids
Worth the time. Great views of the city you can't get on land.
When was his hop on hop off and last time it went on we were able to plug in directly into the bus and this time they gave us headphones that didn't fit our cell phones. And we couldn't hear anything. It was just like a city bus which only $4. Absolutely horrible. Asked for my money back though MSC and was told that the operator had offered us 10% off. What a joke. Going to dispute with my credit card if I don't get a full refund.
