“Do NOT recommend this Hop on Hop off with grey line. Try a their competitors instead. We normally have great experiences with Hop on Hop offs. In Munich, hard to locate the hop on/off spots. The drivers were very unfriendly and unhelpful. They seem to hate their jobs. Only user friendly part of this experience was the lady on the recorded version of the tour. Don’t waste your money on the Grey Line Hop On Hop Off!”

“No live guide however there is a multi language audio you can listen to.The audio track is informative however lacks the humour which a skilled tour guide can inject.A temporary community is formed when the whole bus laughs at the same time. The double decker buses have retractable roof,which are enjoyable on a sunny day.”

The narrator was very knowledgeable in both English and German. What we were all expecting was a stadium tour. What we got was quite different. When we finally got to the stadium there was very much confusion between where the English speakers and the German speakers were to go. Our “host” told about 30 of us (English) to wait and she went on with the German group. No one ever came back for…”
