Satisfactory bus trip
Bus trip was comfortable. The bus is not open air on the top level so taking photos can be difficult. It was a pleasant experience. Bus driver was helpful and happy. Commentary was good.

Very Disappointed.
Couldn’t hear the recorded voice. Normally thoroughly enjoy tours recommended by Trip Advisor. Cannot say this about this tour.

It’s not a two hour tour....
It’s not a two hour tour. Ours was 1 1/2 hours, and that included a 10 minute detour to pick up others at the train station. Our driver skipped our last stop (a 10 minute walk by an old guard tower and a park near the river). It would have been nice to drive by the zoo.
