Only but 1 day, maximum 2, and research route (we liked blue route). Ask driver about live guide.

We got the three day pass with the river cruise… I recommend only doing one day to get your bearings, and two days if you get tired easily…. But truly if I could buy this over again - I wouldn’t have done more than 1 day. The top of the bus is not accessible, but the view is really nice. I love that the front half of the tour bus (on the top) is covered blocking you from strong sun rays and rain, and the back is uncovered so you can have the air and sun if you want. There is also the first floor of the bus but we found it too stuffy in the spring time. The audio for the buildings would be much better on the phone, and the music in between stops was super annoying. A lot of the time the audio was out of sync with the actual tour. The annoying thing - I wish they told us to wait until on the hour, as that’s when you get a live guide. They provide headphones, but the experience isn’t live unless you meet at (stop 5?) on the hour. So altogether it was worth doing once on the first day to get your bearings but not past that.

Is nice but is without a guide and they offer headphones to listen the audio guide. Inside is a bit dirty but because the people dont tide after themselves.

Good way to see the City, though obviously a bit bit challenging with the volume of traffic plus roadworks going on. Audio commentary was good. Nice variety of sights on the tour.
