This was a terrible experience. The link to the meet up point Viator was someplace in Rome, not Palermo Italy. We did ultimately find them after their competitors sent us in the wrong direction. There are no markings for some of the stops. We took the full Red route and then decided to try the Blue route. We were let off on stop number four which was completely unmarked, but we were assured that they would pick us up in the same place in an hour. We came there 10 minutes early, and at the appointed time the bus came, but did not stop at the stop, even though I waved the red brochure at the bus. The stop no formal bus stop just a street Corner. It was a 2 mile walk back to the cruise ship as we couldn’t get a cab or Uber to pick us up where we were. It ruined our day as we were so exhausted from walking in the heat that we just came back to our cabin and rested instead of exploring the city. This is not the first time I have seen reviewers mentioned that the hop on hop off bus in certain cities had left them stranded and they were forced to take cabs back. Also, when we purchased this ticket online, we received a barcode, but the vendor needed a QR code to read and provide us a ticket. It took about 10 minutes (thankfully on the bus while we were moving) before they accepted our ticket.
We’re sorry to read your review, which does not reflect the quality standards our customers confirm every day. We will look into the matter, and your feedback will help us improve our service.
Terrible on board process saw us offloaded from one bus to the next that left 30 minutes later. Than got caught in awful Palermo traffic & ended up getting off & walking. Would not recommend a HOHO bus in this city. If you can walk a much better experience awaits you & costs nothing
We’re sorry to read about your experience. However, our stops are clearly indicated on our online and printed maps, as well as on our official app, where you can also track the real-time location of the buses to better manage waiting times at the stops.
Line A found very interesting with an informative commentary and certainly the more scenic of the two lines available on the ticket, stop 3 gives you a choice of going back and walking along the grass fronted water front or visiting the Botanical gardens. Line B got off at stop 5 and walked through the market and street food Alley which is definitely a must.
