“We paid £68 for this and it was a total pain. Firstly it’s difficult to find the stops. There was no big bus sign at several of the stops we used, secondly no WiFi as promised and we changed buses four times and lastly it’s so busy and comfortable on the bus. Upstairs is hot and people put their phones in the way so you can’t take pictures, downstairs the windows are dirty. It’s so expensive and just not worth the huge amount they charge.”
