    Very good indeed. I do recommend the ticket that can get you on any bus. This way you can have a better overview of all the places. To find them if it is in St Andrews Sq. But don't expect them to be inside but on the side. You can find them on the corner with an orange vest. The only thing I didn't love is that they give you pieces of paper that if you're not careful you can lose them. But other than that, highly recommended. The buses are very clean
