★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,252 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $28

Audio guides cover 10 languages, and Carris tram rides plus Carris Museum entry are included. Expect great views, but allow extra time for traffic and limited boat departures.

“Both tours were very good and informative. Only thing I didn't like was the music playing between the commentary. It was so unnecessary. Also, the bus was so busy that people had to stand so we didn't dare get off anywhere as we're unable to stand for any length of time.”
