Useful way to see the city and learn the history - I found the bus felt very safe, and actually paid for a third day as I found it cheaper than Uber. The app was helpful as the bus stop did change one day due to a change in route, and it gave an idea of where the buses where. In fact two of the three days there were road closures which required the route be changed. I found all the staff very helpful but special thanks to Ricarla (I probably spelt that wrong) who helped me with my Spanish. I liked the way the furnicular and cable were linked.

Great tour - This was a great option to see Santiago, we needed the two day pass as it’s too much to do in one day. All the guides on the buses were great, very friendly and helpful. On our last bus on the last day we were held up just before the last stop by protesters. Jorge the guide suggested we get off and he would walk with us to the stop otherwise it would have been at least another half hour before the bus could move, it had already been half an hour so we and the remaining other passengers got off and Jorge walked with us to stop 5. He was really helpful and made sure once we were there that we knew where to go. I think he went above and beyond to help us. Thanks so much Jorge.

Bus Stops - The buses are good and the people working on the buses were really helpful and gave good information, the only thing I found that was not up to standard was that there are no signs to say exactly were the bus stops, people were guessing wee the stop was a simple bus stop would have made the whole experience a lot better

Overpaid by buying through Viator - First, we overpaid by buying through Viator (3 times the price). Better buy it from the operator once you arrive. Second, there is no real schedule of the busses. They run on average every 40 mins or so….

Bad experience; would no recommend - March 15, 2024 Awful experience! First, in AM, there were not enough buses; filled up quickly and a lot of people needed to wait another 30 min for the next bus. Then it skipped stop #2. Then, in the afternoon, we waited 1:30h for a bus. We end up giving up and catching an Uber. Not a reliable company! Should refund what we paid.
