    Great way to tour the city, app can be improved, of course traffic is not predictable, drivers are friendly. Can make bus stops in other areas clearer and more easily located.

    Als je de juiste plek hebt gevonden in de bus kun je een hoop zien. Maar als het druk is zit je beneden en zie je niets. Ook de reisleiding via de oortjes laat te wensen over. Niet duidelijk welke gebouwen ze bedoelen. Het loopt soms voor en dan weer achter. Het vinden van de juiste opstapplaats is ook wel een uitdaging.

    Wir haben per Mail eine Maps Google Standort bekommen, wo die Tour beginnt. Wir haben ca.25 min gebraucht um diesen zu finden, weil er ungenau war. Weiterhin standen wir 20 min an der Viktoria Station und es kam kein Bus.
