Brilliant - Great bus ride. Got in at 10am so nabbed a seat on the open top bus which was great. There are two different routes you can do so you get to see everything

A Great modern take on Palermo - Our Tour of Palermo with Francesca through Uncovered Sicily was excellent. She is informative, energetic, flexible and fun to spend the day with. I was very glad we focused on Palermo center and did not go to Monreale as well as it was a full 8 hours (well spent) in town. Much to see and engaging discussions on how Palermo is changing.

Great way to get around - Hop on/off is an excellent way to get a flavour for the sights, sounds and smells of the city. We completed both A and B routes and found the onboard commentary clear and informative. More effort should be put into ensuring that the stop sign locations are well known and route maps updated with any changes.

First vlass - Hop On/Off tours is an excellent way to see the city and take in the wonderful sights and sounds. Available in multiple languages. The supplied route map for Palermo should be updated to show changes to pick up points. Otherwise first class tour option.

Ideal for the Traveler who has little time - Funny, nice and easy to look everywhere and get off where it suits you if you have to use your time sparingly. The explanation via the headphone is also pleasant.

Lost in Palermo - Seeing wonderful sites in a short amount of time. However: stops were poorly marked. Few busses in the afternoon. Had to take a cab back to get to ship on time.

Not worth it - They tell you that a round trip takes about an hour. The only reason it takes this long is after 2 stops they stood still for 30 minutes and then didn’t go on the actual route described on the map. Commentary of what you are seeing is limited. Better off walking around.

Don’t expect the bus to turn up - Purchasing this tour is the equivalent to giving your money away for nothing. All the negative reviews on here are accurate. The buses don’t run frequently and don’t stop when flagged down. Don’t waste your precious time on holiday with this company. We waited for an hour while 2 buses drove straight past our stop. It’s a scam.

No Good tour - “Useless tour. To move forward, we had to sit for an hour at a place where you could practically do nothing. Poor organization, repeated information on the same tour. Don’t take this one! “One of the lines went off where it wasn’t supposed to go, stopped running at 2 p.m., and stayed for 10 minutes at a place where there wasn’t a stop.”

Avoid at all costs. Terrible! - So bad that we got off after a couple of stops, and did not get back on again. A complete shambles, with appalling staff. We got on at the main starting point, and were told to get off at the first stop, and get on the bus behind, which we did. We sat there, in the hot sun, for 25 minutes, before the trip started. It was a chaotic process, through narrow streets. Seats are excruciating for anybody big. Avoid at all costs. Terrible!
