Up and hop off bus in Genoa - This was a very complete overview of the city of Genoa. We hit all the attractions, and saw the different statues, parks and Piazzas. There are two lines, the blue line in the red line, one is for historical and one is for coastal. They both went on the same ticket. And they seem to overlap one another two in certain areas.

A great way to see everything as an orientation or brief survey. - + This was our first foray into European cruise ports, and it was a consistent way in which we got to know many more cities along our trip. - The pickup location was unclear when booked online.

The charm of the red bus - It was interesting and comfortable to tour the city and can be used again after sightseeing. Freely available satisfaction Satisfied to look around at once After April and June, we will use it in November as well^^

An okay way to see Genoa - I really wanted to enjoy this tour more than we ultimately did. My mother and I arrived in Genoa on a cruise and were looking forward to exploring the area. Unfortunately, the audio commentary on the bus was difficult to hear through the provided headphones, which made it challenging to fully engage with the experience. That said, the staff at the port were very kind and helpful, and the bus itself was clean and comfortable. With improved audio quality, this tour could be a much more enjoyable experience for visitors.

Speedy Driver.. Not enough buses. - Had to wait over half an hour for bus to arrive as seemed to have only one bus on, and the driver drove it round the city like a Formula 1 driver.. she gave you no time to see anything, dare not get off as it would be ages before another one arrived.

We do bus tours by the cool bypass, the city center is either firm... - None we do tours on the bypass because the city center is closed but he did not know!!! So we travel between the port and the terminal by the bypass

Don't do it! - Very disappointing experience for the price! Bus very poorly maintained and audio catastrophic. Very little explanation in the audio about what we see. Stops are not respected by drivers. In addition, the two proposed routes are substantially the same... just 3 or 4 stops are different. While travelling in Europe we made several bus trips like this to other cities for much cheaper and much better quality! Do you hesitate to make this visit? Run away and keep your money for something else!

Don’t ride in Genoa!! - Do not take the hop on hop off! This was by far the worst experience! At first I wasn’t going to comment but after talking with several crews ship members everyone had the same experience. We waited 1 hour to an 1 1/2 to board a bus then didn’t jet off for fear of not getting back on in a reasonable amount of time. Then the employees were Extremely rude!! One bus attendant intentionally closed the door in my face I was asking questions.

Save your money! - Each tour had over 50% overlap and wasn't unique. Same roads, sights, and commentary. One tour bus had yellowed, faded, and severely scratched plexiglass over the top deck. Couldn't see anything through them. A few audio jack plugs didn't work. Earbuds provided are short and wouldn't reach if sitting on the aisle. Worst hop on/off bus tour we've taken and we've been on over a dozen. Waste of money.
