About The Ride
The ride lasts around 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Also, despite being called a hop-on, hop-off service, passengers cannot get off at different stops along the route. The tour does not have a guide either, so you will not get information about the places you pass.
"It is just a 30-minute ride. That is if there's no traffic. And despite being called a hop-on, hop-off bus, you can't actually hop off at any spot. It's also not a guided tour, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the ride," she said.
