“It was nice to take the tour to see around, especially the view from the second floor of the Olympic stadium. However, there are some problems: the bus stops for a long time in certain spots (their stops), but there is almost no time to take pics of the historical marks. In addition, the headphones with audio information almost doesn’t work. As the audio starts when the bus is running, so the bus noise makes it almost impossible to understand the information. So, in the end it felt more like a shuttle instead of a unique experience of city tour.”

Drivers mostly helpful about lowering step or putting out ramp for my wife, though one refused to help.”
