Ride London at sunset on an open-top bus, hear audio facts in many languages, and catch iconic night views in 90 minutes.
“La idea es buena,y del tráfico/atasco no hablo porque no depende de la organización,pero hay otras cosas que si. Los asientos no son amplios ni comodos y, especialmente,quiero hablar de la audioguía. Jamás he escuchado una peor. Si un recorrido por los sitios más emblemáticos de Londres no da para un mínimo de contenido....Son dos locutores que sueltan dos datos y el resto lo rellenan con comentarios absurdos y ridiculos. El resto,musica. Además se cortaba,se repetía alguna parte,estaba desincronizado (o como no te dicen que mires a la derecha o izquierda,hay veces que no sabes de que se está hablando). Una pena que no invirtieran un poco más en esa…”
