Alles wat we wilden bezoeken was op wandelafstand van de haltes. Avond tour met uitleg was zeer goed. Gratis plan en earplugs

We ended up using it to transport us from one stop to the next—that’s it, one stop. The stops were fairly far from the attractions so it ended up being easier/faster to walk or cab.

The bus was good but the stops are still a good walk to a lot of the main attractions as the route is mainly on the outskirts
