The information could be more interesting. There is a lot of wow to tell about Florence and so it seems to me that the audio guide could offer more.

Organization was good! We found the bus ride through the narrow streets a bit tedious. Some of the stops were not well described, except for the huge parking lot. was ok, but not great :)

Very useful to have a general idea of the historical, cultural and general points of interest, touring beautiful landscapes and natural places of Tuscany, when you have only one day to spend in Florence. Ideal

Most Hop on Hop off buses I've been on are more informative to the history of the area. I was expecting a bit of a presentation while on the bus. Also, I did find the route confusing between buses. A colored blue and red bus would make it easier to identify the route. The host Anomie was very helpful and answered any questions pertaining to the system. She was so easy going and pleasant.

Nice way to see the city center & then decide what you want to do & where to get off to experience Firenza. Only issue was bus was not running as often as noted. Supposed to be every 20 minutes & we waited at Michelangelo overlook for 1hour 15 minutes before bus arrived. Otherwise info while riding was wonderful.

Very good. Excellent . The only improvement is that you have to clearly state the addresses of the bus stations in the web page.

All the employees were very nice and quite helpful. On the negative side, the A tour didn't take nearly as long as claimed. I know because I did the entire route a number of times. The red line was OK. but part of the claimed two hours of tour time (30 minutes) was spent sitting at one stop. If you're going to do that. You might as well direct tourists to a restroom and make that 30 somewhere interesting. Also, very puzzled why the tour starts at stop #6. Your website needs to give locations of each stop so you could be found. We bought tickets online but had to Uber to the rail station to the main office to ask where the stop was.

We got send an old map, so we waited at the wrong place and some spots were not signed. The attachement to the headphones sometimes didn't work. And the guide told us different and wrong informations about the other bus tour.

The option of two itineraries was great, as it allowed us to explore common, but above all different, places. With the 24h option, we made the most of it because the next day we knew where to go to catch our bus, kkes steps from our accommodation, and we could go straight to our precise location to get our day off to a good start and explore Florence on foot.

Tour with the audio guide is recommended! The bus stops should be better marked and shown on a city map! Would be a great advantage! Otherwise everything fits.

HOHO was great and informative. Be sure to try both blue and red lines. The Academia tour guide (Michele as I recall) was simply outstanding and most informative.

I enjoyed being able to see so much of the city from the bus. The views from Michael Angelo's square are breathtaking. Blue line is much better than the red line. Staff is not very friendly. One employee in particular was extremely rude. When I asked where to get the red line she told me to look her in the eyes and listen.

It was a great day, we had lunch, visited the Roman ruins and the museum on the red route in Fiesole. Both are well worth a look. We intended to only spend 1hr there but stayed for over two. It was nice to be out of the hussel and bussel of Firenze for a while. The rest of the tour is also well worth the money even if it's just to get a background of what to see and do. That how we use the HOHO buses

The "red" route to green Florence with a stop in Fiesole was particularly beautiful. And of course the stop at Michelangelo with the great view of Florence. A great way to get a first impression of the city.

Good experience. Buses ran on schedule for the most part and the tour was well done. The app takes a little bit to get used to in order to follow the buses

It was so convenient to see many locations. We can just hop on and hop off. I enjoyed that they have 2 separated lines: one is for the city Florence and the other for Fiosela.
