I found the experience to be very good, especially since you could get off the bus to walk around or take photos and then take the next one to continue the tour.

El autobús está bien, tiene bastantes paradas y varias rutas que no nos dio tiempo a hacer pero muy completo. Lo mejor el barco de noche para ver la ciudad iluminada. Translate this opinion into English.

The bus is good, it has plenty of stops and several routes that we didn't have time to do, but it's very complete. The best thing is the boat at night to see the city lit up. Opinion translated. Show original.
