Buses need to be cleaned. Seats were nasty . Bring Lysol wipes and prepare to wipe down then launder your outer wear. Whew.
You need to be very specific on where to find your bus. Don’t rely on “red coats” because they aren’t always out there. Took us 32 min to find first spot.
Download the app to figure out when bus may arrive.
Pay attention to streets as the street signage are on buildings not posts!!!
Give yourself 6 hours to do ALL the lines.

Leider konnten wir die Bus Tour nicht wahrnehmen, da der Bus in dem wir saßen es nicht rechtzeitig geschafft hätte… allerdings ist der auch mit 30 min Verspätung losgefahren… wäre das nicht gewesen hätten wir es geschafft - sehr unprofessionell und schade!
Ansonsten aber cooles Prinzip, gute Audios
