Very convenient and way to see the City - We had a GoCity pass and this was one of the included attractions. Like that you can see the main attractions and also use to get around to the main attractions. Map of the stops and which attractions are by the stops. Headphones available to listen to commentary in many languages but not working on one of the buses. App was helpful as showed the map or the routes.
