Essential information
The Hop on Hop off Explorer can be as short as a 1 hour sightseeing tour or it can be all day, finishing at 5pm. This service allows you to decide which attractions you wish to visit and for how long. When you are ready to move on to your next chosen attraction simply return to the bus stop and board the next Hop on Hop off Explorer. All the buses are yellow with Hop On Hop Off Explorer Bus signage on them. The bus will cover the red route only (zoo no longer included on this route). Entrance fees are not included. Please remember to take local currency. It is advisable to ensure that you allow enough time for visits at each attraction and consider possible queue times. The amount of walking is at the guests’ discretion. There are steps to be negotiated getting onto and off the bus.
