Double-Decker Bus Tours


I had the chance to take one of those 2 level bus tours. It was interesting. You get a set of headphones with your 1 day pass and as the bus drives by landmarks in the city, a man with a funny New Zealand accent tells you a little bit about each building and monument assuming you picked the right language on your audio guide.

It did get a little annoying at times though, not because of the man's accent, but because during down times between points of interest, the bus would blare loud ass Spanish opera music through the audio guide forcing you to turn them down. Then a POI would pass by and you wouldn't know what it was since the audio guide was turned down so low. By the time you turned it back up, you ears were already being assaulted by more Spanish opera.
