Easy to use & value for mon
Gary Watt, United Kingdom, 19/Jun/2019 -
Purchased a pass with four attractions. However, didn’t realize that the hop on hop off counted as one of the attractions. Also, there was no going to the front of the line— you still had to wait to buy tickets like everyone else. That said, I would buy a pass again especially since I know how they work now.
