Great way to see the city. Great value. I would start my trip on the bus. See the city and then decide what to see on your own.

I had booked it for the 3rd of July, I passed by the office and looked for the ticket but the didn't tell me i had to use it that day and I did not checked, when I went on the 3rd I couldnt use it, they only said they were sorry but couldnt know I had not use it. A lack of respect!

Pretty nice! Takes you to all the main stop. One tiny thing, this one driver was kinda snippy with his passengers, perhaps he was having a bad day but all in all with recommend this. Merci!

It wasn't well informed as to where we could reboard and the weather was bad which did not help either.

As always the hop on hop off is a great way to get an overview of the city and this was no exception. It was very enjoyable and gave a great overview of the city. Well worth the money.

We we're disappointed that the narrative was taped, would have preferred a live tour guide. The narrative was out of sync with the location of the bus as well.
