Verona City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Verona, Italy
My Rating

A great way to glimpse a great city! Our only regret was that we stayed only one night. Verona is a small city and easy to get around. The hop on hop off option was perfect for us as we only had the day to sight see. The onboard commentary was informative as well.

Great way to familiarise yourself with a city. Only down side with Rome was we found this bus a little slow though and the stops too long, particularly in the warm weather and sitting in the sun. No room down below.

Our tour guides were good except on the bus. We had two guides, as we were separated into 2 groups on the ground. The tour guide talked all the way to our destination which was irritatiing as you listened to the same thing in about 4 languages! I chose the english tour, but got all languages on the bus. As a result you zoned out AND as a result we missed the part where you could have lunch ordered for you, but had to let them know. Lots of info was repeated, however, this was not. Come lunch time, we were left to fend for ourselves. We found the restaurants were either expensive or full. It took us most of the break to find somewhere to eat. Sienna is easy to get lost in and I found the experience frustrating. San Gimignano was brilliant and we'd go back in a heart beat. A little more time here would have been wonderful. The tour guide spoke a little less on the way back.

This tour was worth every cent. Our tour guide Helene was brilliant and how she kept that umbrella up the whole day for us to see, I'll never know. The tour ran seamlessly. Our lunch at the Eiffel Tower was lovely, as was the boat ride along the Seine. The Louvre was unbelievable and Helene took us to the main attractions. The Notre Dame Cathedral blew me away. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Brilliant way to get around and enjoy the sights of Paris. We sat on the top deck and had a brilliant view of everything, so taking photos was easy. The on board commentary was helpful also. We didn't have much time in Paris, so this was a great way of getting around and seeing the sights.

This tour was a little disappointing. Our guide, who's name escapes me, was wonderful and very knowedgable. It was not as spectacular as I thought it would be. We only saw the Eiffel Tower light show from a distance, which was a shame as it would have been a sight to see close up.
