I thought this provided a good tour for an introduction to the city, and with so many places to see, was highly valuable that the ticket lasted 48 hours (although as it turned out, I didn't make use of the second day). And having both bus and boat tours included, even more so. However one thing I would suggest, and this seems common to all such operators, is that both the pre-recorded and live guiding needs to point out which side of the bus the particular points of interest are on (perhaps easier for the live guiding, as they can at least point; but otherwise, should be indicating whether something is on the left or the right, or ahead). Strangely enough, visitors to a city don't necessarily know where the points of interest are without being told. After initially being on a bus with the pre-recorded information, I was particularly enjoying the enthusiasm of one of the guides and her commentary later in the day, although her departing "peace" comment just struck me as childish and unprofessional. Call me old if you will.
