A must in every city to do - This is a must thing to do in every city or country I go to. Especially good with the young kids as well aged 7 & 3. Can sit back and relax while seeing some sites on route. Also a good chance to hop off and see attractions as well 2 in 1 and plan your day accordingly. We ended up getting the value package which includes everything and free entry to the CR7 museum. The only thing was we didn’t know what time it finished so when we got back to the 1 stop near the CR7 museum. We saw a driver and he told us it’s finished. By this time it was coming to 7 so luckily got a bus back to our hotel extra cost but not that expensive. We didn’t see the timings on the map maybe we missed it. Good thing the buses runs every 20 mins the longer route I thinks it’s ever 30 or hour. Highly recommend.
