It's a very pleasant tour, both for the stops and the weather, and the view from the second floor is great. Some buses don't have a roof or awning, so in my case, the sun's rays bothered me a bit, but it's a good idea to bring a cap or hat in case the bus doesn't have a roof. On my two-day pass, I only had one without one. Everything else is super good. By the way, there are free restrooms at the Beverly Gardens at stop 7.

Es un paseo muy bueno tanto las paradas como el tiempo, es muy buena la vista desde el segundo piso. Algunos autobúses no tienen techito o toldo por lo que en mi caso me incomodo un poco los rayos solares, pero es bueno que lleven un una gorra o sombrero para el caso de que el bus no tenga el toldo, en mi pase de dos días, solo me toco uno sin toldo. Todo lo demás esta súper bien. Por coierto en la parada 7 hay baños en el Garden Beverly son gratuitos. Translate this opinion into English.

Los dos circuitos son muy largos para la amplitud horaria del recorrido desde la primer salida a la última. Si uno quiere hacer bajadas en determinadas paradas, recorrer y luego retomar el circuito, lo más probable que con el tour de un día no alcance, por la frecuencia de los buses. No obstante, vale la pena para tener una apreciación de lo principal de esta ciudad, enorme por cierto. Translate this opinion into English.

The two circuits are very long for the time span of the route from the first start to the last. If one wants to get off at certain stops, go around and then resume the circuit, it is most likely that the one-day tour will not be enough, due to the frequency of the buses. However, it is worth it to have an appreciation of the main thing in this city, enormous by the way. Opinion translated. Show original.

Mi experiencia antes de lograr encontrar el primer bus no fue la mejor, después mejoró. Estaba de turista en la ciudad y me pedían imprimir la confirmación, lo que se puede dificultar mucho si estás en un hostal o todavía no conoces la ciudad. Además, las paradas del bus no eran claras ni en el mapa, ni en la calle. Nunca sabías en qué lado iba a parar el bus y los habitantes de la ciudad (trabajadores y peatones en general) no sabían dar información.

En algunos puntos demora mucho en pasar la ruta, algunos conductores son muy amables otros no, uno fue hasta grosero cuando le hicimos una pregunta, en algunos buses la conexión para los audífonos no está en buen estado. Igual fue una experiencia bonita. Gracias

El autobús turístico quizás es la opción más recomendable para moverse por una ciudad tan extensa como Los Ángeles. El hecho de que ofrezca diversas rutas, diferenciadas por colores, posibilita llegar a lugares tan retirados como las playas de Santa Mónica y Venice. El único problema es el tiempo que se tarda en recorrer las distintas rutas, debido al tráfico infernal de la ciudad, a las paradas continuas de los trayectos y a la extensión de la ciudad.
