“Gute Routenführung, interessante Informationen, historische Einblicke Weniger gut: Es fehlen eindeutige Informationen zu den Abfahrtzeiten. Online konnte wir nur von 10:30 h bis 25:30 h erkennen. Wir wollten gerne die Fahrt zur Mittagszeit wahrnehmen (13 h). Dies wahr online nicht einsehbar. Leider konnte telefonisch niemand erreicht werden (Nummer unbekannt). Die Support per Chat nicht wirklich hilfreich. Also haben wir die Tour um 10:30 h genommen. Der Busfahrer als auch das ausliegende Programmheft zeigte alle gewünschten Informationen an Bitte diese Informationen auf online zur Verfügung stellen”
