Hop-on, hop-off bus touring in Europe

Touring major cities in Europe in hop-of, hop-off buses is truly a great experience that can let you experience a lot of the cities day-by-day, without spending huge chunks on money on cabs. Although subways and trams are usually inexpensive, leading to the major places of touristic interest, the hop-on, hop-off buses generally have stops in major places of interest as well.

One thing to consider is that in most cities there is more than one operator of such companies. THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME, and in fact, some of them do not offer a good return for the money. We took a green hop-on, hop-off in Rome, and it turned out to be a dud. That particular company makes very few stops to be worthwhile, and the personnel was not very friendly at all.

On the other hand, such tours in Paris, London and Florence were a delight.

In Amsterdam, however, the best option is taking a hop-on, hop-off boat, given the city is surrounded by canals. This gives you a very different perspective indeed, and it is very enjoyable.
