Really worthwhile doing this tour to get your bearings and view parts of the city you probably wouldn't get around to seeing. We used the tour bus both days. If you have limited time, just sign up for the 1 hr city route, if you plan to do the tour that takes in Fisole, then have your lunch up there, otherwise, it's a waste of an hour of your day watiing for the next bus back down as there is not really anything to do or good veiwing points. We are a family with teenagers and they enjoyed taking the bus because it gave them a chance to sit down as there is soooo much walking to do in Florence.

not a great idea in a pedestrianised city! tour is around the city and in surrounding countryside. my wife's hayfever returned after a 10 year absence

Very good tour. See all in one beautiful day!

Review by: Jennifer B	April 2012
The hop on hop-off service around Florence was terrific. Part of the journey took us to Fisole which gave wonderful views of Florence. Other routes were just as good. A must with good service and timekeeping. Thank you

good English recording

Review by: dobbs_a	March 2012
the tour was exellent....Florence is a beutiful city...would advise both routes..

Review by: sue	March 2012
Excellent as ever and well worth the money. The 2 hour trip gives a wonderful view of further afield and was most enjoyable.

Review by: marilyn n	March 2012
we did not use this as we walked everywhere-if it was as good as the one in paris i would give it a 4 star

Review by: N M A	March 2012
Excellent! We only had two days in Florence with so much to see! Getting the Hop-on Hop-off Bus in the morning meant we could see where all the places we wanted to visit were. We did not miss one place on our hurried itinerary! Many thanks- the ideal tour for city breaks- will use you in the future.

Review by: Sophia M	March 2012
This was pretty good, but if you do it during the week, they don't have many buses coming to the stops on a regular basis. We didn't realize this so we were *stuck* in one place (with not many other transportionat choices) for over an hour.

Review by: COLIN B	March 2012
Line A and Line B overlap too many times thus diluting the value

Review by: STEVEN L	February 2012
This is a great opportunity to see Florence and the Fiesole area above the town. One is afforded sweeping views of the Duomo and Arno river. Winter was a little chilly, but the best views are from the top.

Review by: MIG	February 2012
I think this is a wonderful tour. Florence is a very small town with most of the tourist sites within walking distance. However, it is quite a lot if you want to visit everything in one day. This tour bus served as transportation as well as a tour-bus around the city. I got on and off several times as per my needs. The Line B tour was really nice since it takes you to Fiesola which I think is a must visit. The guides and the drivers speak English, so it was very easy to communicate with them. Definitely worth the money!

Review by: Smruti	January 2012
Florence City Hop-on Hop-off Tour was a complete mess. The frequency of bus service was terrible!! I could travel only twice during my entire journey due to the poor timing and the buses left before scheduled departure!! I wasted 22 euro booking this service, since I paid more opting for other modes of transport due to unavaility and bad connection of buses at different sites.

Review by: Helen K	January 2012
Very good trip to get an overview of Florence, well priced and our tickets covered two days and both tours. Thoroughly recommend taking the bus early on in a visit to Florence.

Review by: Mary F	January 2012
I would definetly recommend this to everyone. its a great way to get around and up to the Michaelangelo hill to see the sunset.

Review by: Kara S	January 2012
I really enjoyed this tour. Florence is beautiful. I suggest riding the tour full circle (took about an hour) to chose which stops you'd like to get off. I like that flexibility! I would have to say the only bad thing was trying to find the pick up spot outside Napoli Central train station. (Hint-it's across the street from the staion kindof diagonal.) Luckily we saw the bus pulling up to the stop from across the way. The bus stop signs aren't very obvious either so I took a pic from my Iphone to be able to remember exactly where we were dropped off. But other than that I highly recommend this tour!!

Review by: Len	December 2011
This tour gave us an over all view of the city but was actually a bit disappointing compared to other tours we have been on. It was raining that day and so we couldn't sit out on top. It seemed that the recorded tour was out of sync with the ride most of the time.

Review by: Marjorie M	December 2011
This was great! The trip to the middle ages town on Tour B was well worthwhile. Make time to take both routes. I'd take this tour again!

Review by: Vernon M	December 2011
Good tour but the drivers drive too fast when going past places of special interest and i like taking photographs so it was a problem for me. also it was quite hard to find the bus stop to board initially from the map on the internet which is very small.Numbers for stops would be a help too

Review by: Hilary G	November 2011
Very worthwhile trip to do on your first day to get a feel for this beautiful city. On the down side, not all the headphones were working so a bit of seat shuffling was required.

Review by: Eloisa B	November 2011
loved fiesole !!

Review by: auratai	November 2011
We enjoy the city but we did not get the senior price when we booked with you.!! otherwise it would be cheaper

Review by: Eman	November 2011
The city of Florence is pretty small, but the Bus takes you to the surrounding hills which we would have never seen if we just walked around Florence.

Review by: Patty	November 2011
GReat way to get around the city. Florence is full of history and architecture. Drivers and guides are helpful.

Review by: ALFONSO J	November 2011
Enjoyed seeing the lovely sights in Florence!!!

Review by: Kenneth M	November 2011
Good tour, value for money, staff helpful. Ken

Review by: Jennifer G S	October 2011
Just as expected. .easy to do and very convenient to all of the major "must see: sights.

Review by: Jill S	October 2011
A bit disappointed.

Review by: Gel	October 2011
Easy to find start location. Some stops are a bit out of the way

Review by: Samuel U	October 2011
The bus schedule was on time and had a good tour route

Review by: THOMAS J P	October 2011
Route could be improved upon.

Review by: Ann M	October 2011
This was good - a good array of stops within easy reach of museums and other sights. We had a little trouble finding the spot to get our prepaid tickets. It was a little walk from the railway terminal, but our paperwork indicated it was at the terminal. It wasn't far, but it was down the hill and across a busy street. We were happy once we found it, though. The audio 'guide' available on the bus was a nice feature. The buses are frequent enough so we never had to wait a long time. The ride to Fiesole is so worth it - great views of Florence and the hills of Tuscany.

Review by: Dale S	October 2011
My husband and I loved the Hop-On-Hop off tours in Florence. We took both routes and found them to be very relaxing and enjoyable._br/_ When not viewing interesting sights, we rode both of the routes round trip, relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful music through our headsets. This tour provided a much needed rest after we had walked so much throughout the city. I will definitely recommend this tour to all our friends.

Review by: Gerald B	October 2011
Very pretty and managed 2 of the available routes, good value.

Review by: mary45	October 2011
Excellent value. I would recommend it to everyone.

Review by: Acca	October 2011
Florence is an easy city to get around and we found we were staying in the heart of the city and therefore only used it once.

Review by: Mary J	October 2011
The staff on the busy were rude and the information on the headsets should have been better.

Review by: Karen T, Australia	July 2010
This is the best way to get around Florence as a visitor. The ease of use of the hop on off buses and the commentary were great. We never had to wait long to get on.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	July 2010
Great value . Trip to Fiasole was included in the tour the view was amazing.

Review by: Marie Janet D, United Kingdom	July 2010
Good service and the fact that there are two routes included with an open 48 hour ticket. Great to see out of town itself. Fiesole is amazing and I will spend quality time there on my next trip to Florence, prabably a whole day.

Great way to see entire city.

Great way to see the city

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2010
Great way to get to know the lay of the land!

Review by: Julie W, United States of America	June 2010
Not really one for tours but this was worth every cent. We road the blue line twice! Audio was great. I am an expat living in Europe and will recommend this to all of my friends.

Review by: HIRAM J, United States of America	June 2010
This is was a great way to see the city. I loved it.

Review by: Gerald H, United States of America	June 2010
This was perhaps the best city bus tour we have ever taken. Marvelous views and lots of variety.

Review by: DIANE D, Australia	June 2010
This tour will give you an overview of Florence then you can decide what you want to vist in depth. It takes about 1 14 hours - depending on the time of day and how many tourists there are.

Review by: Tania O, United States of America	May 2010
This was great! Very informative individual headsets in various languages. It drove through key historical areas which we could hop on and off. This gave us the opportunity to stop and see specific areas not inclusive to the all day package we had purchased for the next day. It had convenient hop on and off locations making our walks very convenient to re-bus. Would use this again! The Ortega's from Weston, FL 52010.
