Reviews
Viator Traveler's Reviews
I love going on these buses because of the ability to get on and off where you want. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get off due to a flight I had to catch that afternoon. But from what I could see on the bus from the outside was still very pretty. The 2 routes meet up at an ideal location and the routes don't overlap much.
