Hop-on, hop-off-tour door Valencia

It is your basic Hop on Hop off experience. We did not get off anywhere, just did the whole tour in one.

First of all, we've done a few RT tours before which we usually do to get a first high level view before exploring a city in detail. So why not in Valencia as well eh? I'll tell you why... First off, finding where and how was a bit of a game of Find the needle in the hay-stack. Finally having figured out where and ho since we couldnt see a single bus touring, we went off to the stop at Plaza Toro. First ride? No show. Second ride? No show...aaah there's the third one. The bus was as good as new it seemed, nice. Having hopped on, plugged in the headsets it appeared that the volume was terribly low even when pumped up to max. The unit of my son broke down after two minutes...then mine stopped working, then the one of my daughter and some people around us etc etc...Ah well...without guide then.... The ride goes past apartment blocks, new and run down ones, closed or abandoned shops bu all sprayed with crappy graffiti, fallow lands be it with or without trash or run down houses etc etc...oh and it passes the hyper modern musem area which is actually a stunning view. Then, the bus halts right in front of the shopping center at the new part of town cause "the bus broke down"...So having to hop on another (old shabby) bus instead we had to wait for another 20 or 30 minutes cause...another bus broke down...(?) Seemed they were just merging 3 busses to one since there werent enought visitors on each bus I guess. No issue with that, but just be honest. Nearly 3 hours of seeing abolitely jack, this ride is a total waste of money. Some good advice: DO NOT take these rides in Valencia. Spent thos 3 hours walking around in the old city center and the Mercato etc. instead to actually see the city and spend the money at one of the local bars and restaurants.

Ik had de gemengde recensies gelezen en dacht niet dat het zo slecht zou zijn - maar het was. Geen bus voor 1 . 5 uur later liet het personeel de ordelijke rij uiteenvallen in chaos toen de bus eindelijk opdook. Ik kreeg te horen dat de app is volgeboekt tickets op was hopeloos en ik had het niet moeten gebruiken! Geloof me, had ik dat maar om zoveel redenen niet gedaan! Commentaar verdween na 2 stops en er was geen kaart beschikbaar aan boord die de route of plaatsen interesseerde. Valencia heeft veel te bieden, maar veel betere manieren om het te zien dan dit.
