Traveler reviews
Discover hidden gems.
We were unsure about taking this bus after reading some of the negative reviews however we were pleased we did. We walked to bus stop no.1 and the bus arrived at the time scheduled. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and flipped between Spanish and English effortlessly. We stayed on the bus for almost the whole round trip, about 2 hours in total. I’d say it’s well worth the money. $22 each. We saw parts of the city we weren’t even aware of with excellent commentary throughout. The only downside is the seats are plastic and very uncomfortable in the humid climate.
Highly recommended!
This was a great tour. We wouldn't have been able to see as much as we did had we opted not to do the tour.
Our tour guide was not...
Our tour guide was not very proficient in English so we had a hard time understanding her. I don’t feel like we had the best experience.
I do not recommend it
Very bad experience, it was supposed that there were two buses and it passed by the stops approximately every hour, and we got off at one and for the next bus we waited more than two hours to get back on the same one, I contacted the operator who sold me the tickets and they did not answer me. To get back I had to take an Uber Very bad experience
Friendly tour.
Plan your sightseeing tour early in the morning or no later than 2:30pm. The tour of the city is awesome.
