    Underground wonders
    Loved this! What a great experience….mind blowing kilometres of well lit caves. A little train for 10 mins (take a jacket but don’t need gloves etc) then about 45 m easy walk with excellent audio guide.

    Long wait for buses
    We decided to do the Hop On Hop Off Bus when our cruise ship docked. The pick-up point is relatively close to the cruise terminal. However, based on the limited buses in use, the time lag involved waiting for buses can be quite lengthy. We rode the bus to view the sites and only departed at the Miramare Castle stop. The stop was a distance from the Castle. On the return trip back to the cruise port, we decided to take a local bus instead of waiting for the Hop On Hop Off. The local bus schedules are rather confusing, so we asked a couple people (locals) and received different answers from each person. The price of the bus ticket is very reasonable. We ended up asking the bus driver, when he stopped, if the bus went back to the cruise port, which was easier.

    A TourBus you don't want to get off
    We precooked our tickets and took the small bus. The buses are prompt, they are clean and driver and hostess were wonderful. We felt like we booked a private tour based on how they treated their guests. The trip is about 1 hour and 15 mins and you should take when you first arrive to give you a grounding on areas of interest and different Piazza's to shop and visit. The ticket was only 11 euros for 24 hours. You can get on and off, but with the small bus you are guaranteed a seat, so hopping on and off is not as easy as they need to make sure guests that signed up for later times have a seat as well. There are times for the small bus and times for the larger bus which enables you to pop on and off. Highly recommend this tour. It set us up for the rest of the day on what we wanted to visit.

    Great way to get acquainted with Trieste
    This is one of the best Hop-on, hop-off bus tours I've taken. It goes all through Trieste and points out many, many points of interest. The English recorded guide was excellent. My wife's Italian recorded guide was excellent. The price is one of the least expensive that we've found - 11 Euros per adult. It takes about 1-1/2 hours. The bus is not a standard Hop-On, Hop-off double-decker but rather a standard touring coach, which was very comfortable. I highly recommend this sight-seeing tour.

    Nicht barrierefrei - not sccessible
    New busses but no ramps for wheelchairs - so no access for any disabled people or people that have trouble with high stairs- very annoying!!!!!!

    Great tour
    This hop on hop off tour is one of the best we have been on in the world. Maybe because Trieste is such a lovely place. Bright blue sky clear air and sparkling water. It appears to be a much cared for place by the locals. If you are in this part of the world do go to Trieste it's fabulous.

    The best way to see Trieste
    This small hop-on-hop-off bus is definetely the best way to experience Trieste. The size of the bus makes the roundtrip access even the narrowest streets in the City.

    Good overview of the city
    The tour takes about 70 minutes and with 12 stops in the most interesting parts of the city. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good possibility to go to castle Miramare. During weekdays there are only 5 roundtrips a day, which means that a stop lasts about two hours. More flexibility would be great.

    Great value
    Good value and if the weather is bad you have an 80 minutes tour. Cost today £11 each... I don't know if it changes during year. Good audio via earphones. Today has seen thunder and lightning.... But we saw Trieste which made a good day.

    Great way to see and learn about Trieste - highly recommend!
    This tour provides a thorough overview of the sites and history of Trieste. Unlike some of the larger hop on/hop off bus tours, this is a very comfortable and civilized way to see and visit all the important areas of Trieste. The 24 hour window with the purchase of a ticket allows you to get off where you want and when you want, and get back on without feeling rushed. The guides are very professional and friendly, and the audio narrative very informative. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits the lovely city of Trieste!

    Hop on and don’t get off!
    This is not a typical hop on and off operation. The busses are small with seating for 25. If you get off you’ll have an hour wait until the next bus comes by. We attempted to get on the 2 pm bus and it was full so we eventually got on the 3 pm and it was full. Others were turned away. We didn’t dare “hop off”! This is really a tour that is guided by a recorded narration. And it’s 11 euros. I’ve been on better hop on hop off tours, but this one is ok for a general overview of Trieste.

    excellent overview of the city of Trieste
    as a creator of audio guides and historian I was pleasantly surprised at the level of information received about the city's complicated history. Great hostess Eva from Lettonia and driver Giuseppe. If we had not taken the tour we would not have seen Barcola beach and pineta nor the majestic San Giusto castle on the hill. Top votes for Hoptour, Trieste. The small bus can get in and out of tiny roads .

    Great hop on/hop off
    Very enjoyable and reasonably priced tour. Definitely hits all important areas of Trieste. Excellent narrative. Very personable guide who insured that all important sites were viewed. An outstanding way to see the city. Have been on many hop on/hop off tours. This is one of the best and the air conditioned bus with WiFi is extremely comfortable.

    Quick overview of Trieste
    A very good organized tour of Trieste with the possibility to hop of at places where you want to visit longer, and hop on the next round of the bus, such as 6 and 10. The walk to the Miramar is too long when it is hot like today. It would be advisable to bring stop 10 a little bit closer to the Miramar. Enjoyd the tour very much!

I wanted to get an overview of the city so I could spot which locations I wanted to visit more in depth by foot and on my own. The bus was very clean and gave me time to hop off then back on to visit St. Giulio cathedral and area. I suggest to reserve online as it got full for those who bought tickets in person.

The ride is very affordable yet very detailed. The tour guide is also kind enough to remind us that we are free to hop-on & off anytime for the next 24 hours from our ticketed date & time, as long as they're operational.

The tour was overbooked so we could not use the main bus. They put on a bus van (smaller). The bus was parked and temp was 36C. The entire tour the bus never cooled and focusing was very hard. Everyone was sweating profusely. It was unhealthily. The tour guide kept saying it would cool. Before we got off they turned off the bus (turned off AC). They were obviously just trying to save gas. The audio was good. Views were good and close up. Italy had issues severe heat notice but the vehicle (fairly new) AC did not work.

Thank you for your review, it is very important for us. We did not go overbooking. The two shuttles were scheduled and all customers were allowed to use the service. Also, as you can see from the site and from the various information material, the smaller shuttle is in fact in service every day. The air conditioning was working, the initial heat was due to the fact that during the break the bus was under the sun, but after a few minutes it reached a cooler temperature, as you confirmed to the hostess on board who repeatedly asked the passengers how they were

Clean modern bus with good audio
The guide was very helpful. It covered the main areas and attractions of the town and you are able to hop off and on at each stop.
During May it was only running 3 days a week as there weren't many tourists around. Good value and starts by the main piazza on the promenade

This was a very last minute, same-day booking and we were thrilled they had room for us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to. The bus was very comfortable. The bus pick up was a few steps away from the port with was very convenient.

Thoroughly recommend! Buses clean and new. The audio worked and very informative. The girls that were on and took our fare were excellent. If in Treiste and on a time limit, please take this trip. Best Hop On Hop Off we have had during our trip. Bravo!

On a two day visit we saw and did a lot. Trieste is not just a melting pot... It's a melting electric furnace combining Austrian, Italian, and Slovakian heritage to form a unique basis for its own identity. And it's tasty.
High point for our quick visit... Getting great coffee in the café where James Joyce read still unpublished works to his brother.

We thought this would be a good idea to see the sights and save our legs. Unfortunately we got to Miramare and they dropped you off what was said to be 10/15 mins walk but was really a 25/30 min walk (walking fast paced). Coming back when the bus arrived it was full and with a young child we were told another bus was 15 mins away - turned out 30 mins! Bus then had no air con.
The local buses ran more regularly and were probably much cheaper

My husband, 8yo daughter and I had just a short stay in Trieste which is amazing and thought the hop on/off tour is the most convenient way to see the sights. It was, the bus was clean with ac and we were given guidance as to where to stay a little longer. I found the info audio to be basic sign posts but enough to get your barings. The timing of bus arrivals and departures were accurate but my issue was with the drop off for the Miramar castle. We were told it was a 10 min walk. It was more 30 minutes and it made the tour very rushed so we could ensure we could get back to bus stop for pick up. It was 30 degrees.. we were all shattered before we even got there particularly my daughter. After running around the castle (no time for gardens) the bus was full when it arrived. We had to get a different bus and ended up missing about 3 stops of the tour.

The hoptour was a good option and overall satisfactory. The downside was drop off at castello Miramare, where the guide said 15 minute walk but actually took us 30 minutes. For some reason the bus chooses not to drive through the car park like other cars which can stop just outside the entrance, for a fee.
Incidentally the Castello is not disabled friendly as the galleries are on 2 floors and no lift so wheelchairs only access the ground floor.
