everything was excellent. the performers were phenomenal. My daughters and I enjoyed it even though we didn't understand anything that was being sung about...but words are not necessary for emotions. 50 minutes flew by. the staff is friendly, the space is pleasant, all in all an unforgettable experience.

I thought I would have been able to access my tickets online but I had to travel from the railway station all the way to stop 1 in order to get printed tickets - luckily the bus driver allowed us on board with the online receipt and took us up there.

Tickets ordered online turned out to be vouchers that had to be exchanged for tickets first. After repeatedly asking via chat I was assured that with the voucher I could immediately board a bus, turned out not to be the case. Tours were good, sound quality in some buses poor.

It took us to where we would not normally go. The bus driveres, though, were not too friendly. When we got on the last bus, the purple Uptown line, it took the bus driver almost a minute to finally open the doot to let us in. He was looking at us directly as we were standing right in front of the doors and there was no reaction from him. No passengers were getting off at that stop too.

The tour itself was very good but I was disappointed with the tour details provided by the Audio. Very little info was provided on what we were supposed to be viewing, not told were to look m what side of the street etc. it could and should be improved and I think it's a simple thing to do. Otherwise the tour was very enjoyable
